Do you think they'd take an order with 1.6k under invoice? I'm looking for a fully loaded manual in red. Can't seem to find red anywhere

No idea. ill make some calls monday and see if ordering and getting at least 1.6 under invoice is a possibility. This would be easier if it was a vw audi or ford/linc/merc cause i know people for them. i get amazing deals :\

I headed to the dealer last saturday with cash ready to make a deal. My local dealership said they couldnt even entertain an offer anywhere near invoice for at least a year. I kindly told the sales leader that their dealership probably wouldnt be in business for that long and kindly walked out to the parking lot shaking my head.

Haha. I might not be keeping up with the current economic times, but in an economy like this, I wonder if it's even logical to be throwing mark ups on the 370z? Every dealership I've been to has at least a $1k markup on their cars regardless of trim or options. Most of them act like the 370z is selling like hotcakes, but most, if not all, of them still have the first batch of 370's they received from two weeks ago.

Oh yeah. This is Southern California.

i got vpp all of the above is corerect.

I called them back today and he was saying that the woman i talked to was talkign about the 350z not the 370 in regards to the 1.6k. He did however say he would work out a sweet deal but you have to go in and talk with him and the finance department. You should be able to easily get it around invoice. I guess just pop on by and tell Hector that Jair sent you.

Thanks! I'll pay him a visit if I am not too busy this week.

i test drove the same white 370z as mr5sparkle in san jose. the internet sales manager said the same thing as well, "lowest he can go was msrp". it makes sense for nissan to get as much as they can, but i am not willing pull the trigger at this price. at 500 to 1000 over invoice, i would feel comfortable. if anyone sees pricing like this in the bay area, please let me know.

Update...

I ordered my Pearl White 6MT w/ Sport Package this evening for $800 below MSRP. I ordered from Dirito Bros. Nissan in Walnut Creek, from Scott Annis.

He let me drive a 7AT they had on the lot to get a feel for the fit. It was a tad difficult having rained all day to open it up at all, but it was a nice cruise through town. The 7AT was uninspiring to say the least, even with the paddle shifters, never felt quite right. The car felt great though, was comfortable, easy to operate, just felt good.

Anyway, this dealer in WC is getting a few more this month to their lot and will be selling them at MSRP with some wiggle room, so if you are in the area check them out.

All I have to do is sit back and be patient for 8 - 10 weeks...

If anyone is looking for around 1k above invoice range on equiped 370Zs (stripped down base model may be little lesser) and is willing to travel to the chicago burbs, please contact me. We have a great working relationship with our local dealer. I will be getting you directly with the sales manager, so no BSing around.

eBay Motors: Nissan : 370Z (item 250360577565 end time Jan-27-09 12:13:38 PST)

Just delivered! Brand new 2009 Nissan 370Z Coupe. This Touring model 6-speed manual shift Coupe is fully loaded with the Sport Package, Navigation System, Splash Guards, Carpeted Floor and Trunk Mats, and Illuminated Kickplates. The sticker price on this vehicle is $40,635. The car is Magnetic Black with Black leather.

Ok that's honestly a bunch of ..... anyways, our dealership isn't honoring it. In fact, I walked away from a 38,500 deal today on a fully spec'ed out touring (sports + nav and the whole shebang).
The VPP offering easily shaves of 3G's off of the fully spec'ed z34, certainly not happy about dealerships not going with it.

just got a call from stevens creek nissan. they offered me 1500 over invoice. this is the best price i have seen in california. he said he got a price structuring from nissan, so perhaps most dealerships in the bay area will do the same deal. a custom order will take until march however.

has anyone seen anything better than this in the bay area???

Pulled the trigger and ordered a fully loaded manual Z for $38,800. At route 22 Nissan in NJ. Dealt with Sam. He was giving me the fully loaded silver Z minus splash guards that they have in stock for the same price.
