Default Dealer playing games with me

I was at $500 below invoice. Have been monitoring this forum for plenty of weeks now, best deals on '09s at $1500 or more under invoice. Asked him to match these. He challenged me that I cannot get such a deal anywhere and that what people say on forums is one thing and the price paid in reality is another. He says, if I arrange to show him a receipt of someone who got more than $1500 below invoice, he will honor it. Who goes around doing this?

There are actual dealers on this forum that may be able to help you with this. I'm not one though.

Actually it sounds like he needs to get realistic. Dealers really hate selling cars below their true cost..Not a good business model.

There's a lot of guys who will swagger through here with (supposedly) unbelievable deals..You know about the internet always being right, Right??....Thought so.

Some dealers actually can't go down as low as others. If they aren't high volume dealers, or if the car isn't on their lot, their hands are tied.

If you feel like you're not getting a good deal, simply go to another dealer. That dealer is either lying, or can't give you the deal you want. Either way, no use in doing business there.

Or ask the person that supposedly got $1,500 under invoice to put up or shut up with a hard copy of that transaction. I for one don't believe one exists.

$1500 under invoice? Maybe there is one with 3000 miles on the Odometer.

Gimme a couple weeks, my lease ends the end of jan. and I will "put up or shut up". The 10s are out already, plus its the middle of winter, I know in NJ Z's do not sell in the winter. I say go to another dealer. You can definitely do much better. When I purchased my 350z back in Jan of 05 it was a left over and I left the dealership WAY below invoice. The thing is you can really not be picky about color or anything, I had a silver 350 and would have taken any color over that.

Invoice is not a dealer's cost. That is a marketing tactic. There is a new 2009 red Touring/Sport on eBay right now for $32,990 "buy it now" price. With 20 miles on the odo.

Have you read this forum thoroughly? There are atleast 5 threads where people have got such deals (or they claim that they have).

Replies like yours add to my frustration level. While I don't mind agreeing with you, I find it so random to believe that these 5 threads are liars or with 3000 miles or with 3 wheels. I have personally asked one of them to help me with a copy of their receipt - but these 5 people are in no way obliged to PROVE to the world that they indeed got a good deal. I'm also annoyed that no one pointed out this 3000 mile 3 wheel twist on THOSE threads? You guys just haven't gone through these posts that I am talking about. Anyway, I am not hating on you.. but at the same time don't want to make a fool of myself by paying $500 under invoice when people have paid $1500-$2400 under invoice.

@Other poster somewhere in this thread: This local dealer I talk of is actually a high volume dealer and they have 24 Z's on their lot. Don't worry about color etc. they have what I'm looking for and so do many other dealers.
