I emailed everyone with my approval letter and a copy of dealer invoice pricing for the 370z. I told them if they would sell me the car at dealer invoice I would fly out the next day to purchase the vehicle. About 4 out of the 7 contacted me back within 24 hours. 2 of those went $100.00-$200.00 over invoice and the other 2 were $500-$600 over invoice. I went online and determined which dealer out of the 5 was cheaper to Fly to and drive back from and that's the one I chose.

This saved me $3000+ of what all the local dealers would give me. It also allowed me to skip the whole, "hey would you like an undercoat, top coat, anti theft, blah blah garbage with the sale because I had to get the exact amount of the purchase price over the phone to give to my lender to overnight them the check. I flew out the next and enjoyed my 6 hour drive home in my new Z.
Not everyone has the time or patience to fly out to buy a car and drive it back. In my case the cars I wanted were over a days drive back. No way I could afford to do that.
