I'm ordering mine this weekend :: PG Base + SPK + few extras

dlmartin81

I used the information on AK's thread (2009 Nissan 370z invoice Price) for negotiating. All negotiating was done via email, beetween two dealerships. I said the following on the email.




"Like any good shopper would do, I am shopping around for the best deal on a 370Z. So far I am only considering [Dealer1] and [Dealer2]. Whoever gives me the best deal, will get my business. I know if you were in my shoes, you would do the same, especially considering that you're a salesman."

"I've also done my homework on the car, which is how I was able to come up with the figures below. I left out the taxes. Are you able to give me a price somewhere in between the invoice and MSRP totals at the bottom?"

"What is your best offer?"

Base Model 6 speed manual
MSRP - $29,930
Invoice - $28,043

S01 - Sports package*
MSRP $3,000
Invoice $2,602

P93 - Illuminated Kick Plate
MSRP $200
Invoice $148

L92 - Carpeted Floor Mats
MSRP $115
Invoice $89

T94 - Carpeted Trunk Mat
MSRP $95
Invoice $65

Destination & Handling
$695
=====================
Total
MSRP $34,035
Invoice $31,642




Dealer2 responded within the hour and said that he would give it to me for $32,500. I said to my self, "not bad."

Then Dealer1 responded soon after with, "I understand that you want the best deal. So, I am going to make it very easy for you. I will order/sell you the 370Z for invoice. So, you can buy it for $31,642 (give or take a few dollars), plus tax and tags."

I was like, "HELL YEAH!!" That's like $2,393 less than MSRP. I really was not thinking that I would get that.

Now I could still be a [richard] and try to get it even lower by going back to Dealer2 with the counter offer. And if he counters it, go back to Dealer1. But I figured invoice it's pretty damn good. Plus, I figured that I would be helping the economy. I want them to at least make some $$.

So I set up an appointment to meet up with the salesman at Dealer1 on Saturday to place the order and leave a $500 deposit.


Finally, thanks AK for posting that information!! I probably could not have done it without you. You're my HERO.

^^ Thanks man.

Why don't you just order yours. This way you know you'll get exactly what you want. The downside is that you'll have to wait like three months. But you can live with that. You'll be glad you did once you get it.

This is the email I sent to dealers. Got some positive responses so far, but still working on a deal. hope it helps!

XXXXX,

I am looking for a:

black/black base
7AT
sports package
kick plates
splash guards
floor mats

We are both looking to get a profit/good deal, and I want to be up front as possible, so I am proposing that you take the price YOU pay for the car I want (not invoice, definitely not sticker), add 4% profit for you, and let me know the number you come up with. Add 695 delivery charge, 7.75% tax, 320 licensing, titles, fees, and then give me a bottom line out the door price.

I can tell you right now that I won't entertain anything over 35000 flat, as that's the offer on the table right now.

My phone number is 5302203933. I prefer email because talking on the phone is hard when i'm working. Look forward to your response. Send me an offer!

I placed the order on my Z today. Salesman said two to three months.

Just to recap, I'm getting a PG manual Base w/sport package + floor/trunk matts + illuminated kick places for invioce ($31,642). I placed a refundable $500 deposit.

Congrats! What color interior did you get?

dlmartin81

It seems like you're unaware but you can't choose the interior color on the base model as you can on the touring. So it's whatever comes standard on the base model, which is like black or charcoal, I'm not sure. It's nice enough for me.

LenZToy

Oh, right. sorry

I dealt with a guy named Oleg Lana via email. Heres a revised version of the email I sent him:

I am looking for a black/black or Blue/Black BASE 7AT (no touring), with sports package, kick plates, splash guards, and floor mats. We are both looking to get a profit/good deal, and I want to be up front as possible, so I am proposing that you take the price YOU pay for the car I want (not invoice, definitely not sticker), add 4% profit for you, and let me know the number you come up with. Add 695 delivery charge, 7.75% tax, 320 licensing, titles, fees, and then give me a bottom line out the door price.

I can tell you right now that I won't entertain anything over XX,XXX flat (thats with TTL), as that's the offer on the table right now.
