Hi,

This is my first time purchasing a new car as well as posting on an auto forum.

The people here seem really pleasant and helpful, which is why I've mustered the guts to say "hi."

I'm also curious as to what prices people seem to be getting touring editions in auto transmission. The dealers here wont budge below $37k post tax... I've looked at another thread, and a user mentioned that he was able to get one (similar package) for ~$32k.

Currently reading up on how to negotiate with the dealers thread. Very helpful stuff!

If all goes well, maybe I could have a 370Z in a month or two!

Cheers!

Most 2010's are going at invoice from what I have seen.

Welcome! What part of KS are you in?

spawnoftoday · 04-28-2010, 05:02 PM

Wichita

Chris@FsP · 04-28-2010, 05:30 PM

Cool. Good luck on the Z! We're only 3hrs away if you need anything.

a Touring W/ Sport 7AT for 37K would be a good price at this stage of the game for a 2010. If you don't want the sport you should be able to get it lower

I was looking at the following build:

Touring Edition - Automatic Transmission (2010 preferred, open to deals on something from 2009)
Platinum Graphite Exterior
Black Leather Interior
Navigation Package addon.

@fullmonty: I can't seem to catch anything less than $37k+tax for the build mentioned above...

At this point, I'm also considering looking into used 370Zs.

If anyone can offer any help or guidelines, I'd most appreciate it!

I have given you pricing for less. I just don't see your goal for a Touring + Nav for 30-32K. Unless you are finding a dealer that really wants to lose money bad, you may need to set your sites on a base.

spawnoftoday · 04-28-2010, 09:02 PM

Lou, I understand, and like I mentioned before, am willing to go up to $35k inclusive of all taxes and fees. That's all the money I have...

I'm open to all deals under the stated value.

fullmonty · 04-28-2010, 09:33 PM

If you're limit is in the 35K range and have your heart set on that build you might be better off looking into a used Z

FuszNissan · 04-28-2010, 09:43 PM

What's your tax rate?

spawnoftoday · 04-28-2010, 11:21 PM

Just called a local dealership. The tax rate is 7.8% in Kansas.

Also, does anyone know when the 2011 lineup releases? That should also help drop prices for the 2009/10 models, right?
