Is this a good deal or not?
So i went to this dealership, after haggling for about 30mins, i gave them the final offer, take it or i'm out of here. they accepted.
09 Z, $31K base auto with sports package. Destination charges included. Taxes+lic+fees not included. is this a good deal? the only problem the car is from another dealer. If I buy, they have to drive it back about ~50miles. the car right now has 150 miles on it already. should I still take this deal? Now I wouldnot care if i were to purchase a non-sports car. But in this case, who knows if their driver's going to go 'petal to the metal' on a Z for 50 miles. |

From what I've experienced and read online, the transporters are usually light-footed older gentlemen. I wouldn't be *too* worried about the 50 mile trip, however those first 150 could potentially could have been a lot worse. All in all, 200 miles isn't terrible this time of year on a late model 09.
The price is great! A few hundred under invoice. If it's the color you want, and you have the financing you want, go for it. Good luck!

So you got a Nismo for ~34-35k? Over $2000 below invoice? That's pretty amazing.

According to edmunds.com, the dealer invoice (which is the most you should pay for a 2009MY Z) for a base(manual) + sport is $31,365, including destination charges.
BUT - In my book, if the car already has 150 miles on it (not counting the 50 additional miles it will have on it when you finally get it), then it's a used car. The price you pay should reflect that - and the dealer knows it. They took $365 off of invoice on a car that most others (who are looking for a brand new car) would not accept. Do you think that's such a good deal? I don't. Just my opinion...YMMV... PS: The sport package alone is not what would induce someone to put "pedal to the metal" on a Z. Someone who's going to do that will do it whether or not the car is equipped with the sport package. Last edited by VCuomo; 11-26-2009 at 12:22 AM. |

While 200 miles may be a lot for a 370z compared to a Sentra/Versa on the lot, I wouldn't worry about 200. 3-500 is my cutoff for new car miles. A dealer offered me a car with 800 and I swiftly declined. Quote:

^ BTW, i test drove one today, and I noticed the blind spots are real danger. I mean I couldnot see anything. The two small windows in the back are useless, I couldnot even peek out those two little windows to see if theres a car in the blind spots.
It's a real danger changing lanes on the freeway, because you have no idea if there's a car in the blind spot or not. |

At first, it seems really bad, but you get used to it. Those mirrors are large enough to see quite a bit behind you if positioned right. Changing lanes is tough until you get in the habit of speeding up 10 mph to "clear" the blind spot! Haha! Jk, of course. I also added a backup cam to help when backing up.

OK, thought he was talking about the sport package, and the Z is definitely a valid concern (that was my point)... BTW, is it possible to "gun" a Prius at a red light (or anywhere, for that matter)? Last edited by VCuomo; 11-26-2009 at 03:09 AM. |
