Ordering 2010 Models

Rick · 03-08-2010, 10:14 PM

I'm experiencing a very similar situation. Just contacted Robert for a VPP claim number today. The same dealer that quoted me at 300 under invoice on a 2010 order also accepts VPP. Sales Manager told me to get him my claim number ASAP. I'm thinking If I get VPP pricing, place the order, and make a decent payment I could "lock in" the sale during the month of March... No?

Rick, Unfortunately no. The VPP claim numbers Robert is issuing to us is for a promotion where the sale has to be completed by 3/31, so ordering a car doesn't work.

Your choices are like mine, take an available car which is not exactly what you want, or order a car, lose the VPP, and wait for delivery in June which is approaching model year end. I got one offer at $600 under from a dealer about 1 hour from me in response to the American Express program, however $300 under is a very good price.

One of the dealers posting here says that Nissan plans to bring in more cars in the spring when the weather improves, so another option is to do nothing and see what comes in. Will Nissan have a really good discount for model year end, who knows, but if you order and don't get the car until June, or maybe late June, you are very close to year end promotions.

Waiting might be a better option. Did you post what exactly you want on this board?

I grew up in Nepean too! I went to Merivale High School. Good times.

Even if I could negotiate them down to Dealer Invoice ($42,214), taxes and all the rest still would have nudged it right up to $50K! At least that's fully loaded with all the goodies. Expensive, yes - but of all the cars I was looking at, this is only car I can afford which really makes me feel like I'm not compromising. The Hyundai Genesis Coupe is pretty good bang for the buck, but it's just not in the same league in my opinion. Pretty much every other car I was looking at you either needed to lay down some serious coin to feel like you weren't compromising (S4, S5, M3) or you couldn't get manual transmission (IS350). WRX STI caught my eye, but it just doesn't have the sex appeal. So I'm stoked to get my hands on my zed! (relax, yanks, 'zed' is an inner joke to a fellow Canuck)

I almost bought mine from hunt club but I didn't like the way they we're negotiating so I bought a base one from 417 for 43.2k after everything..

havn't seen many 370's in ottawa yet though

Also please read the VVP thread I updated.

VPP discounts have now changed.

I regret not giving 417 a try, but Hunt Club is much more conveniently located. In the end, I was happy enough with the price. And now that I actually have the car any bitter taste from the dealership experience is fading quickly! That's a good price you got though. I hope you're enjoying it as much as me!

I haven't seen many either. I've seen one black one that's been tricked out a bit. Looks like it's been dropped and has custom wheels, very dark tint - is that you? I've seen a yellow, non-sport package a couple of times and when I picked mine up there was another CS.
