Narg did you get a chance to lower price or is always solid on orders? I am thinking about also doing an order but do not want to pay full price lol. Also I would love to see some colors in person before making a purchase.

Price is always negotiable, until that contract is signed and money exchanges hands.

A lot of dealers will try to charge full price on direct factory ordering, but you don't have to agree to that and bargain for less. I bargained with the dealer last week when finding an Open Allotment, and going to do it again this afternoon.

Also note you can even do negotiations AFTER the car arrives... because you're gonna do another inspection of it to make sure nothing was left out, damaged during the voyage, or got a lemon.

Just keep a strong hawk eye on what you sign, and make sure NOTHING forces a final commitment.

Negotiate as if the car was actually on the lot.

So another question. Did you have to give a non refundable down payment due to it being a special order? Or is that a risk the dealer takes?

If you don't mind telling what your final price is?

I kind of want to see where I can get my price to go. I already have a few points planed on making when trying to lower the price haha.

Dealer has confirmed their Open Allotment. Will be providing a refundable down payment. Dealer is confident that even if I back out, he can find another buyer (not sure if he honestly feels that way; or just a bluff). We went back and forth on pricing, but didn't come to a total agreement. I am not paying over or equal to the sticker price, but how much below is not set. Dealer wants to have the car physically on the lot before making final offer. I know it's a psychological ploy: with the car visibly in front of me, I'll want it more. We're looking at late September to early October for arrival.

He made an odd offer of cutting more dollars off, if I let him display the car in their showroom for a full week before taking it home. I suppose they want to show it off next to the GT-Rs, for word of mouth advertising.

***EDIT***
On a side note: trade in values for the outgoing model has plummeted. KBB showed a $2000 drop from last week. Nothing surprising really, but worth mentioning.
