I recently bought a 2011 Nismo. I started with the Capital One Buyer Network page: Capital One Auto Buying - New Car Prices, Used Cars, Price Quotes

Within an hour I had four dealers offering to sell to me: 2 @ $500 below invoice, 1 @ $1000 below invoice and 1 @ $1500 below invoice. Ended up at $38,400.

Supply in CA seems limited now. Most dealers don't have any.

Even though this is a auto lender website, you don't need to get a loan (I didn't). The price was the same whether I used Capital One or didn't get a loan.

Alternatively, you may want to call 3 dealers, tell them the exact car you want and that you are ready to buy today. Tell them whoever offers you the lowest price by xx time gets the deal. I did that with the last car I bought and it worked quite well. Dealers were in a frenzy.

Take care to tell them precisely what price (car only, car + fees etc.) you want to see so everyone is offering on the same exact thing. I asked for a fax of the price page before I went in to the dealer so there wouldn't be any little "misunderstandings".

sry, i didnt care to read the entire post. just posting something that might help him out....


you can get vehicles shipped, but we arnt talking about that so i better hush.

would you guys think $40,200 Out the door price sounds unreasonable? thats my final price... I am bringing a check to the dealer I already got the financing done. The one dealer near me doesnt seem to want to help me at that price. Maybe I am pushing too much.
Any thoughts?

Imo, I truly think you can get your Z at a better pricing and save yourself several thousand $$. I know this may not be relevant to the discussion but I'll throw it out there anyways: at $40200 assuming an interest rate of 5% and loan period of 72 months (bad) that's $686/month just for the car and the car ends up costing you $49000. As stated earlier, low-ball the dealer you are dealing with (shave $5000 to start with), if he doesn't want the pricing proposed, moved on to another one - you have the money, you set the conditions for the dealer to earn it. The money saved up could go towards mods ;)

The problem I am having with this is that there are no other white ones anywhere else... there are reds, blacks, and like one silver. so I think my best bet is to hang for a couple of weeks till the end of the month and see if the dealer still has the car and are willing to negotiate.

Good luck dude

Thanks... I will eventually get the car... I got the money... I just gotta get one of these dealerships to get me the price I want.

Don't worry broski, your car is out there somewhere waiting for your butt to imprint the seats :p If you show patience and restraint, I am sure you'll get a white one at the right price and enjoy it even more. It is easy enough buying the car in a wimp but it is better getting it at a reasonable pricing. I don't know about you but I rather put the saved up "muneeey" from the deal towards mods rather than give it to the dealership and be screwed during services ;) Right now is prime season for these cars, so expand your search area and you'll be bound to find one as you please and don't settle for a lesser choice since you know exactly what you want.

Now before I leave, something to make you drool over till you get your white Nismo :stirthepot:

:icon18::icon18: This picture is only going to make things worst Now!!!!

Just kidding... but thanks for the kind words sir. I will be patient and wait for the right car/deal. After I test drove the car last sunday I knew for sure I wanted to drive this car. It felt amazing. I just gotta be patient.
