Need help...370z/touring/sports/nav

dandg

Here's what I'm looking for:

2009 370Z Black Automatic
Touring w/ black leather
Sports Package
Illuminated kickplates
Carpeted floormats

A dealership near me has one in stock with all of that, but it also has navigation and splash guards. I'm only communicating with them with e-mail so far and I told her that I do not want to pay extra for navigation. First she said $40,935 then $40,235 after I told her.

My question is how low do you think I can get them on down on this...what's the invoice price? I was hoping to pay no more than $38k

Also, can I request that the dealership remove the splash guards...is that possible?

370z touring sport AT. Base MSRP is ~$35,760
+ Sports Package - +$3000
+ Illuminated Kickplates - +$200
+ Floor Mats - +$115
Subtotal of $39075
Add $695 for Destination and Handling charges
Final Price would come to $39770 for what you want

Now with those other 2 that they are trying to charge you for you would add these 2 prices onto that total above for what they were trying to charge you.
Splash Guards - +$220
Navigation Sys- +$1850


Use these numbers here and try to work with them. Best bet is to go talk to them in person.

wow...

you have to be a "VIRGIN" car buyer- everyone knows Destination and Handling applies to ALL...

dandg

Thanks...invoice is about $38,600

I've never negotiated before, how long realistically do you think I could get them down to?

Also...does anyone know about removing the splash guards?

Why don't you want the splash guards? They are functional and adds to the aesthetics of the car.

I've never seen them in person, but I saw some pics of a blue one with them and didn't really like the look...and a lot of people on here say they hate them. Maybe they look better on black?

Well my 350z is black and I LOVE how they look on mine.

Heres how mine looks...not a 370z but you get the idea

I would get/leave them on! They will protect the paint on the sides behind the front wheel. Check out the photo, that area X is going to be a rock/pebble catcher.

The full spec'ed out ride should cost you anywhere between 37k-38.5k, anything higher is something you'd want to negotiate on. I just ordered one for myself and another one for my brother, one base w/sports ($33k), while my touring w/sport & nav (all options) ($38k on the dot).

So my recommendation is, shop around and don't just jump the gun.

Update: After looking at the invoice price for the base w/sports, I re-negotiated the price to $32,450.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to try and get $38k too. And I know that if they won't go down then I'm going to walk out.

Just wondering, was it hard to get the price down that much? Do you have any tips? For example, should I throw out an offer such as $36k and have them meet me there?
