They still have to sell through all of their 350z stock before they want to hype up the new model. A customer looking for a new car will probably not want the "old" model if a new shiny better version is right around the corner. So rather than losing a potential sale or having to sell a car on their lot for much cheaper than msrp they just play "dumb."

That's my story... and I am sticking to it. :)
i concur.
same sh*t happened to me & my bro, we went to mitsu dealer back in 07, knowing that the evo x was coming out. they were still listing then 1 yr old eco ix above msrp.... and talking bs about how evo ix will be a rare item...this and that.. so he just ended not not buying that....
few months ago he got an X!
:yum:

Well its my theory, and because that is what I would do if I was in the business of selling vehicles. Keep in mind that these people want to make money. Telling you everything about the new product is not in their best interest currently because they still have old inventory. They want to make money and lots of it. The longer they have the "old" model on their lots the more money they will lose because they cannot charge full msrp for the cars.

This is only temporary, however. As soon as all of their 350z inventory is gone or close to it, they will change their tune. Then, all of a sudden they will be experts about the new model.

Car Dealers are also not the only ones that behave this way. Pretty much everyone in sales that gets commission kick backs from a sale of a product will tell you whatever necessary so it benefits "them" and not you. Unless they are a close personal friend or a family member, don't be naive to think that they EVER have your best interest at heart.

I went to a local dealer today just to see if they had any 370 inventory. Salesman states "Not until the 15th but we have this wonderful Nismo today". I politely said thanks but no thanks, I would rather have the 370.

No need to order, they are @ most dealers. Base - loaded!

To correct..I am paying $36,900 for Yellow, Sport, Touring, AT, floor mats, illum door panels, trunk mat. MSRP is about $40,300. I have contacted over 50 dealerships just in the couthern california area and only a few offer around $400 over invoice and most are MSRP only. This price is right at invoice and maybe even a bit lower. I got lucky with the mis-quote on the $500 charge for yellow.
