I paid $33k for my new 2012 pearl, manual sport package in January 2012. The 2011 model would be a better deal at around $25k-$26K, this is the real amount the dealer paid for the car.

Kelly Blue Book shows the current value of the car to be $35K retail , $30K trade in. Subtract the $35k - $30k = $5k price spread. Now subtract the $5k - $30K trade in vaule = $25k dealer wholesale price. This is the best way to calculate the dealer whole price or cost they paid for the car.

Also take into account you will be able to buy a new 2013 Z with the same package for around $33-$34k shortly and the 2011 model is going to be almost 2 yrs. old shortly and value on a 2010 model equiped the same is only $28k trade in.
