So today I went to get some pricing information on ordering a Z from a couple dealerships in the area. I decided on ordering a 2014 pearl white base, with the sport package and automatic. I really wanted the In-Mirror RearView monitor, but I guess now you cannot add that unless it is a touring. It would be nice if Nissan would take the option off of their website for the base car. Ultimately with the options I wanted the MSRP is about $35,660.

The first dealership was a waste of time, as they told me they would have to go through some other guy at a different location to get the pricing. It would have been nice if one of three people I was in contact with at the dealership had told me that before I drove 30 minutes to get there. They knew I was coming solely to price the car, so it sort of rubs me the wrong way and makes it likely I will not be ordering from them.

The second dealership I went to was actually able to work with me. They started off trying the "this is your monthly payment" bs, but I got them to talk OTD price. They first offered $35,350 but I mentioned a lower price I had been quoted and they immediately offered the car for $33,900. I told them I will still be keeping my appointments to discuss pricing with other dealerships and they seemed very eager to try and beat any other offers I get. I personally don't really want to order from this dealership, as I haven't heard the best things about their service department, however, if they can beat the price of the others then I probably will go with them and just use a different service department. I believe I can get them to around $33,300 or maybe lower, so let me know what you guys think about how realistic that price is. Also, if any of you have any tips I can use during this process, I would appreciate it as well. This is my first time buying a car, so this is all new to me.
