I was looking for a 6MT Platinum Graphite, Touring, Sport, Nav but none to be found in the area, so I ended up ordering one for $100 over invoice. Now comes the agonizing wait...

I wouldn't worry about that price. Ordering usually doesn't get you as good a price as bartering for one on the lot. Or already sitting on a lot somewhere. I think you got a good price. AND, as I have mentioned before, red was about my 3rd color choice. You just ordered MY 1st color. Congrats !!!

yea I'm not sweating the price. I just hate the fact I have to wait a couple months for it. I wanna drive it already :driving:

I just got confirmation that my order will get built! I'm expecting June delivery, but secretly hoping May. Touring 6M Carbon Silver (aka Platinum Graphite), Persimmon, Sport + Nav.

Can't wait! I'm driving a 2000 VW Golf GLS 1.8T, so I'm looking forward to more than double the horsepower! And just a touch more sex appeal! ;)

Ya think ? :rofl2:

Hey - my Golf is still a hot piece of metal! Or at least when I leave it out in the sun it can get pretty warm. ;)

:rofl:

Well, as far as the appeal goes, see how many chicks come up to you and chat in the VW and then try it in the Z.

Hehe, the VW might be hot (even when NOT in the sun ;)) but the Z oozes sex.

Keep in mind, I'm a Canuck so that's in CAD$ - don't know how helpful this'll be for you.

I'm going to sell my car privately to try and get a bit more dough.

Just ordered a Tour+Sport+Nav for invoice+ $500 ($38k or so). Although I was a bit taken back as their invoice with everything was a good $1200 more than what edmunds said it was. Is their a reason for that? Oh well now the waiting begins...

Did you get a breakdown of all the included options and their invoice prices? You should be able to see where the difference is. When I tried to order, what my shady dealer did was give me an invoice sheet of a Black cherry car when I was ordering a Platinum Graphite, so it included a $500 extra charge for the Black Cherry color which of course the PG doesn't have.

Needless to say I pointed it out and they took it off. All the numbers checked out after that. Make sure you also include the destination charge which is like $720 I think.

How long after you ordered did you get confirmation that it would be built. i ordered mine Saturday (exact same as you but with metallic black)

Hmmm, now that you mention it the number did seem a bit off, and they didn't list anything else besides the Sport Pkg, Touring and Nav. I'm going to another dealer anyways just to see if they might be able to make me a better offer.

The funny thing is when i first talked to the salesman he was like these cars sell pretty fast and we cant discount them at all and thats a $45k car + TTL. When i mentioned that other ppl were buying them at or below invoice he went to get his mgr, and sure enough he came back with the invoice pricing saying he could get me the car for that price.

It depends, really to many variables. But if it was a new order and they didn't have an allocation yet, maybe 1-2 months.

Hold on, so 1-2 months to get confirmation? THEN 3-4 months of waiting?
