1st Time Ordering and Negotiation Questions

The MSRP of a manual transmission 2015 370Z Sport Tech with splash guards, illuminated kick plates, floor mats, and trunk mat is $38,560 including destination. The automatic is $1,300 more, or $39,860. I'm not sure where you got $41,500 from, unless you were adding some obscure (and overpriced) accessories.

If you are able to get $4,000 off the MSRP, that would be a very good discount for a 2015 considering that the leftover 2014s are being discounted at about that same rate.

So you would be at $34,560 for the manual transmission plus your 6% state sales tax, which would put you at about $36,634 OTD (plus any license and dealer fees). falconfixer said you should be between $36,000 and $37,000 OTD, but I wonder if he presumptively and erroneously based that on the the $41,500 figure you provided. Would he now say that you should be between $33,000 and $34,000 OTD based on the correct MSRP? That would be about $7,000 off MSRP. What incentive does a dealership have to let someone order a 2015 370Z with a $7,000 discount, or even a $4,000 discount for that matter?

As others have said, your best bet is finding one in stock somewhere that is equipped the way you want it. Then you can deal with an actual unit that needs to be sold.
