Default Is waiting worth it? (more time=lower price?)

Hey, i have read many threads about the prices people are getting, but i was wondering, should i keep waiting untill the end of this year to get a 2009 370z/sprt (after the 2010's) or wait till next year to get a 2010 next summer?
would the prices on the 2009 drop ALOT when the 2010's release?

im guessing there are many people planning on doing the same. plz share ur knowledge. thanks

Most people are getting these cars for invoice. It's hard to imagine you're going to get a better deal than that, even with the normal "end of the year" deals. One thing that I've noticed about nissan, as opposed to most car manufacturers, they don't do as many deals, special financing, sales, and etc as most others.

I was in the same boat as you... This is what did it for me.

1. Invoice pricing, you can get lower but its pretty darn low
2. Waiting another year.. man I am glad I didn't.
3. There will always be a newer car next year you could have gotten.
4. This is a brand new model so the next few models will only be slight changes

All said and done I am very glad to have my 370z. This thing is so much fun to drive and take turns in. Just email every dealer in your area saying you will buy it tomorrow for $500 below invoice pricing and they will probably sell it to you if not atleast for invoice pricing.

Nissan indeed does not do as many special sales, and on a first year model Z it may be difficult to find one available when such a sale even comes around. When it comes to getting deals on past year models it really depends on the dealer, so there's no standard to go by.

If the dealer just got that car in and isn't paying interest on their loan on it yet, then they have no incentive to try to dump it.

I honestly think your best bet may be to see what prices are like when the Nismo and vert come in June. It is quite possible that some dealerships may have coupes on hand that they're having trouble selling because of the new configurations.

Was that a credit issue? They're being brutal right now. Still, with 20K down, I would think they'd take that. After all, they basically can't lose, even if they had to repo your car...

I'm trying to do financing with 8K down. It's brutal when financing is on the edge, because even if you get a good cash price, they can always stack on the interest to make money off you...

I read that it's not good to tell the dealer how much your putting down. IS this true?
