...blah blah blah.....
It cost them a few hours of paperwork, improved their business standing, and made them a tidy profit...

OK markup on my car is about $3,400. My friend bought an '09 Mustang convertable and got $13,000 off of sticker. Both cars are around $40K. My point is where the American cars have a crazy mark up - the Z doesn't.
I'm just as eager to get the best price I can and I did my homework and negotiated. That's why I got $800 off instead of paying MSRP. Not sure if you know anything about running a business but making $2500 on a car is jack not a tidy profit. Add to it the cost of keeping a dealership open - staff, rent, utilities, insurance, etc, etc, etc.
