New member from SOCAL

CervanteZ · 09-25-2009, 07:43 PM

What's good ladies and gentlemen. I am a current member of another Z website. I'm in the process of purchasing a 09 Base 370z, nothing finalized. But I've never driven one... dumb I know.

I used to own a 350z back in 05 which I lost in the North CA floods.
If anyone can advise me on a good price to start haggling, please let me know, again, I know I should go test drive one before considering it, but that's how sure I am of buying one. Money in the pocket ready-to-go.

Thanks in advance,

CervanteZ

Welcome to the board and like Lou said, the best Z Forum

We've got a whole section devoted to pricing and deals that members have received so you should definitely check that out.
Nissan 370Z Pricing / Ordering Discussions - Nissan 370Z Forum
http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-p...ice-price.html
Nissan VPP particpating companies
How I have scored invoice pricing with 3.99% APR on my 370Z?

Those are some good reads to get started but like I said, there is the whole section so you'll find all the info in there somewhere.

Thanks for the info guys,

I've looked at two dealerships last night and both are offering the Base, PW, Auto for 29,979, and refused to go any lower. I don't know, is that high for a base?

Welcome to the forums!

What part of cali you in?

I would recommend this website:

New Cars, Used Cars, Car Reviews and Pricing - Edmunds.com

Good luck!

CervanteZ · 09-26-2009, 11:06 AM

Irvine CA. I will look at Edmunds. I was actually reading the sticky info. Allegedly the price is invoice, yet I don't feel fully satisfied. And the fact that they don't "have" the car in the lot and they have to bring it from another dealer.

CervanteZ · 09-28-2009, 11:16 AM

Ok I guess I might not be a member for long. Seeing as my offer of 32 g's OTD is not enough for a base model. That and most dealers refuse to wheel and deal.

Don't give up if you really want a Z. May I also suggest that you look for a used 370Z? You might just find that someone is in need of parting with their Z and willing to make a good deal. It happens from time to time.

CervanteZ · 09-29-2009, 05:21 PM

Hey Zcarman, I spoke too soon. I'm picking one up today for 500 < Invoice. Pearl White.
I wouldn't mind a used one, but if I'm going to keep it until it falls apart, I want a brand new one.
