About to go wheelin' n dealin'...
Ok, so having looked around here and several other forums, i think i've narrowed down my limits on a 370Z price-wise, as well as my game plan.
First off, i do not want or need the car until around April, so i can wait for one to be ordered and arrive per specs. Second, i do not need financing, i just need until the end of March to come up with the difference; this would be a cash transaction (plus i have no credit). I am banking on getting at LEAST 10k for my RSX, and another 6k for my 300ZX, which should be relatively easy; i have interested parties in both. Third and lastly, i dont want to have a nightmare experience buying a new car. The last new car i bought was my RSX, for $500 under invoice plus lifetime maintenance/inspection back when i was 18. I also paid cash for that car. I dont consider anyone working at a dealership to be my friend or doing me a favor; frankly in my opinion they are IN THE WAY of me and my new car, and plan on siphoning off MY money on top of it. But i understand they are out to make a living too, and thats the way this market works, unless i wanted a Saturn or a Scion. I'm also still debating red, blue, or yellow lol, hopefully i make up my mind when i get there. kick plates and floor mats are the only options i want. I do want navi and leather, but ill have it reupholstered in matching perforated colored leather and throw in a pioneer navi/dvd system such as that i have in my RSX later on, basically i want the bigger brakes and rear diff; everything else is useless. I do plan on modding the car, but nothing crazy, and not for at least 4-5 months. I figure trading/selling i should be able to pull at least 1k or 2k out of the FUGLY 19"s and OEM Sport Pkg spoiler (trade hatches with someone) later on; i'd rather go with lighter wider 18"s (assuming they'd fit) considering PA/NJ/NY's FANTASTIC roads. From the Invoice thread... Invoice for BASE- $28043 MSRP for BASE- $29930 Invoice for Sport Pkge- $2602 MSRP for Sport Pkge- $3000 Kick Plates- $200 Floor Mats- $115 DESTINATION- $695 Again, i understand they need to make a cut here, my maximum i am willing to pay, for a base/sport combo, is BASE INVOICE plus SPORT PKG MSRP plus delivery, and tax/tags/title. I will not mention financing or trade ins until a relative price is agreed upon; again i have no intentions of financing OR trading a car in; i'll just brush off the topics until numbers start to get crunched. Thats $32,053 total, plus 6% tax (1923.18) equals $33,976.18, so a tick under $34k, plus tags and title. That is LITERALLY the maximum i would pay, $34k off the lot plus tags/title fees; anything above that i walk and go for either a lightly used E46 M3 or 135i, both of which can easily be found under $34k. Wish me luck!

You should be able to get that. Basically you are saying 400 over invoice. That is what I paid (similar package), and I have seen a few others say they have gotten similar deals.

Good luck Zissou! Do not settle for more $$. There are plenty of Nissan dealers around. Also, I'm curious where are you getting those invoice numbers from?

All I know is at least three Los Angeles Area Nissan Dealers are offerring myself-
Actual Dealer Invoice on any 2009 370Z... I am looking at the fully optioned one (2009 370Z Sport Touring Automatic) that MSRP's at $41,935.00 and all three dealers will sell it at $38,491.00 plus documentary fees, tax and license. And I still haven't played HARD BALL yet- thing in my favor is- my Equifax FICO Score is 806- so no worries about getting a loan if I wanted to get a loan. |

Agreed, I traded a 2007 Accord V6 coupe fully loaded with 16k miles and out of 8 or so dealers the best price I got for it was just under $17k. KBB is around $22k.
