Should I pay sticker for a 09 Nismo?
 

I'm in Augusta GA and the local dealer said that they only sell Nismos at sticker. Is this true for Nismos or was the sales person just trying to get me out of there because they were closing early for New Years?

no, that's terrible. i got mine for $200 over invoice back in august. you should be able to get one for much less than that.

Yeah, sales guy is jerking you around. If anyone has an 09 nismo on the lot yet they are looking to move it. I got mine two months ago for $800 under invoice and had them through in a $300 car cover as part of the deal.

Good to know. I really think she was just trying to get me out of there because they were closing early.

I just happen to see one on ebay with 100 miles for $35,500 from a dealer, thats a hell of a deal.

ripping you off, an 09 should get a few hundred below invoice with 0%-3.99% financing if you have good credit.....try another nissan dealership. Remember always be prepared to walk, if they know you want it, the negotiations are over, YOU LOSE!

In the end I payed 37600 for it. It had the floor mats, kick plates, ect. I don't see how those are options. I probably could have talked them down more, but I didn't feel like haggling any more.

Gratz on the new Nismo!

I live in Augusta and probably went to the same dealership as you. They are very, very hard to work with if you get the wrong sales person.

My Nismo was right at 38k back in October. Similarly, they gave me the sticker speech as well, but I called them out on it and stood firm on my offer. Same as you, I felt I could have knocked a little more off of it, but 6 bucks less on my payment wasn't worth me having a heart attack at the dealership. That's just me though.

Let us know how you like the car!

Dealers can go below the sticker price no matter what they say. Even if its only 200 dollars as that’s the only amount I could get off from mine. I wasn’t even trying to buy one that day. I just happened to go in and ask about getting a base model. Well they didn’t have any left in a manual and I wasn’t going to get one in an automatic. So I did end up buying the Nismo. Really in the end I think it comes down to if they cut you a fair deal. Yes its true you might get it cheaper or you might not. If they didn’t charge you more then the sticker price then you did good. If you can afford the monthly payments to were your not eating top ramen noodles and kool aid each night for dinner then your good. Not that anything is wrong with eating ramen and kool aid lol but you get my point. Really if your happy and they didn’t charge you a ton of money then whats really the difference? In the end if your happy that is all that matters. And hey you have a Nismo so smile :)

I paid $36,100 for mine...Metro Nissan out of CA. It had 76 miles on it...series #196.

Invoice means nothing...find a dealer that's got one on the lot. Mine arrived in July, so the dealer was motivated to sell it.

I got a 370z nismo of death :eek:

Q. Are there any unlucky numbers in Japan?

A. The Japanese don't like the number 4 and 9 because of their pronunciation. Four is pronounced "shi" which is the same pronunciation as death. Nine is pronounced "ku" which has the same pronunciation as agony or torture.

There are many hospitals that don't have these numbers as the room number or even the floor number. The Japanese also dislike Friday the13th, though many of them are not Christians. There are no seats with numbers 4, 9 and 13 on passenger planes of the All Nippon Airways.

That is a pretty good number in terms of status in the likes of production number. If they actually believe what you were talking about, I can see how that one made it to the States. Does anyone know if the production plates include all NISMO Zs or if they are market specific

Grats to everyone that has a NISMO Z.

Mick:

What color did you get and how long did it take from the time that you ordered or closed your deal?

i got me a silver one.
the last time i bought a car (mb) it took them 2 months to build and ship it to the us, so i figured it would take some time before i got the 370z nismo being this was a limited production car. wrong! I came to the dealer on Jan 2 and i picked up the car the very next day.

I beleive the nismo numbering is market specific.

i got mine for 37K first day on the lot #138 solid red
