To sweeten the pot, it also has the Sports Package. If this isn't my dream Z, it's pretty darn close. The Roadster has 26k miles and they are asking $26,900. Through internet communication, they are offereing me just over $20k for my trade...370Z Touring Coupe, CY in perfect condition. The Dealer who has the Roadster is about 3 hours away. I don't want to waste my time going down there if they aren't going to make a deal. Any suggestions?

Basically, do all of your dealing via email. That way it's in writing to what you agree upon. That's what I did for mine (had to fly up to Vegas for it). You could always request to put a deposit on it to hold it once you agree upon the pricing/payments, etc.
I had to go to Vegas for mine, as I said, and sent my contact an email prior that I was purchasing plane tickets only if the car I had been talking to him about and agreed to on pricing/payments would be there, and he had to pick us up from the airport.
There aren't any 100% guarantees though, as some dealers can be shady. I printed my emails and brought them with me in the case he tried to change pricing on me, etc., but he didn't and was cool as ****. In & out and on my way home (with test drive) in about 1.5hrs.
