09 Base 2009 6 Speed w/ mats for $31,000 out the door (including fees, tag and taxes).

hello
 

Hello, I am now a devoted 370z fan and have been researching for weeks. I was a pure honda lover for 8 years, im 27 now, and had 3 vehicles up to now. 1999 civic ex, 2001 honda integra type R (yes the real type R), and now i drive a black 2000 honda civic SI stock.

my question is, has anyone bought the 370z base below 29k? I know the sports and the touring is sooo tempting but after working as a banker then working for state farm for so long, debt is scary. i have
apprx 15k to put down as well as the trade in value for my civic at 5k, would it seem reasonable to buy a 370z base for under 29k?

by the way, great thread and i learned so much info from pricing, to even how to deal with these dealers ! =)

oh and i uploaded pics of my current civic si in stock. its very clean, not riced out. if you would like to see the rest of my cars you can go to www.cardomain.com/id/jookiyaya ^_^

Yeah I wheeled and dealed with the dealer ship. I had a loan through my credit union and was trading in my 350z. Told them I was fine with keeping my 350z and if they wanted to sell me the 370z they would have to make me a good deal...haha..I'm such a cheap a**....lol...Worked though....

how much are your payments? and what was your down payment?

I traded in my 05 350Z Roadster and got 14,000 for it. My payments are about 500.00 a a month...

wow u got 14k? not bad. how many months is your financing?

Yeah I was pretty happy with the amount they gave.....Its for like 84 months...Which come to find out isn't to smart for my credit...I found out it actually hurt your credit to have that long of a loan...oh well...done deal...haha...

Incredible story, after weeks of research and talking around, finally a kind guy actually told me the place where this rare pearl white with persimmon was located, it was actually about 35 miles away from where im at in maryland, (dealership was on virginia border).

I meet the salesman at 1:50 pm and started talking at 2 pm. I ended up leaving the dealership at 7pm, after 5 hours of hell and amazement.

i am pretty bad at negotiating but i tried my best and i dunno if i got the best deal, this is what happened, they wanted 36k out the door, and i kindly said no, and they asked about my 2000 civic si. they wanted 4k, i kindly said no and stood up knewing it was a no go, and then he got the manager and some finance guru, I work for State Farm so i know a bit about insurance so i gave them my 2 cents about MSRP and invoice crap.

Long story short on the negotiating part, they finally decided to give 6k for my car and then 30k with TTL all included out the door after me countering every single pricing and I even mentioned how people were getting theirs at invoice or sometimes below invoice on this site!!! the salesman was sooo upset he didnt even shake my hand and wouldnt talk to me after we were finished around 4. the manager had to actually tell him to calm down and relax, i couldnt believe it. did i really win? so for the rest of the 3 hours i was with this other guy from the finance dept, who was reallll chill and cool, and we were talking about poker and blackjack until i got my papers. i cant believe i got this great deal.

btw, so i had put down 20k cash and my borrowed is 10k on a PERSONAL loan at 11.25% lowest it can go for my bank (keep in mind it is a PERSONAL unsecured loan) and ill tell u why i wanted this.

an auto loan is basically financing, therefore there will be a lienholder, therefore, the vehicle is NOT technically owned by the owner until the balance is paid off, and i was well aware of that. whats the difference?
lienholders always ALWAYS require full coverage, which means collision and comp at least 500 deductible. which means higher premiums than if it were in your title and can do whatever you want.

i had quoted myself and if i went with the title under my name, i can pretty much set my own coverages, for 6 months at 378.(yes, 63 dollars and change a month, and yes, lower than geico, i cant believe that either) with comprehensive at 100 ded and no collision coverage. and 25/50/25 bi/pd accordingly. yeah i know its meager but i drive great and never been in a collision (knock on wood) and ONLY for pleasure use!

anyways, the unsecured loan for 60 months makes my payments 219 a month!!!!! WOOOT!!!! and i know ill be paying wayyy over 219, to pay off that crazy interest.
i am one happy asian.. and i wont rice this one out at all.

Purchased the Illuminated Kick Plates at the same time for ~$170, leaving them off until I replace the LEDs.

The car is being picked up from a dealer near Houston (I live in DFW) and unfortunately won't be here until Thursday. The dealer I purchased from is trading their Black one for the White one I'm getting and driving a car hauler down there to make the trade with no cost to me :D

Looks like you got a sick deal....Nice bro.... The car looks hott... What do you think you are going to do first on it???

u know whats funny? i just came back from the dealership to hand the guy my check and he says he will send the illuminated kick plates free of charge. i used to do lots of diy for my civics but the diy section for illuminated kick plates i saw seem tricky. seems like u can easily bend it or scratch em, plus i had posted that the frosty white one looks soooo sweet if i could figure out the led switch outs... =P but that would be 1 of my mods. hopefully i hope that last guy with the nismo will blackout his fangs so i can see em ^_^
