Hmmm.. Just find another dealership. Send out emails with the invoice price as the ONLY price you will buy the Z for. I went to my local dealership that had the exact Z that I want (used nissausa.com to find it) and said I will only sit and talk if I get invoice pricing. The sales person said "i don't know". After I heard those exact words I literally got up and said "Thanks for your time, I am going to another dealer." He told me to wait so he can go talk to his manager. My girlfriend and I sat down for 20 mins and the sales person came back with 38k, mind you this is for a PG Touring / sport / illum kicks / floor and trunk mats. I once again told him i'm not playing games, no deal and left. My girlfriend checked out the Z once more only to allow time for the GM to come out and talk about the price. I told him "I really like the car, so I can do $400 above invoice" 20 mins later, he gave it to me.
Dealers are desperate now even with a new car like the 370z. You can get invoice (or $400 above), you just have to be patient. Respectfully to dealers, its their loss if they cannot sell the car to you, you will just bounce to the next nissan dealer who will probably have a better understanding of the car market crisis. Another dealer will want to make $400 bucks instead of nothing. Some won't take the risk of keeping a car and hoping to sell it with a unreasonable mark up.
Keep looking!!! Be patient and good luck!
