I thought the threshold was $57,180.00 for 2008-2009 financial year?

So whats the best way to get the best deal? I've been quoted 75K for the manual drive away. My plan was to offer 70K or i walk away.

Is everyone saying that this can be beat?
GTRFAN you mentioned about getting the dealer to invoice the purchase for under the LCT threshold and then pay a certain amount with cash on the side?
Can you elaborate on this and how to go about, and can others offer advise on obtaining best deal. My feeling is, because its a rare car, discounts are hard to come by

I would be paying about 30K Cash and the rest would come from Car Loan

Thanks

This can definitely be beat...
I paid significantly less than what you've quoted and managed to get them to throw in tinting and floor mats.

Just ring a few dealers, ask for a quote, then actually go to them and do the whole 'lets sit down and talk' routine. Expect that they'll quote you RRP and then counter offer with a similarly ridiculous offer. Don't budge unless they give you a better offer, otherwise walk.

They'll eventually call you back offering better prices. I was still getting phone calls from six different dealers a week after I'd taken delivery of the car...

Yeah you can definately get lower than 70 drive away, I hadn't really started bargaining and was already well below that....

I want to order this month too, if people could post their lowest drive away price they have gotten that would be good. So far went one place and he said 70k drive away for a manual one, without batting an eyelid and said he throw in some things for me so i assume still alot of margin to play with. Really wanna know im getting a good deal.

Does the aussie version 370Z have the garage door opener? I think it's meant to be near the interior rearview mirror or something.
