Here's what you do: take off "350" badge, replace w/ "370", get some "plastic surgery" done to your 350 (you know those ricers who put Skyline tail lights on their Sentra?) via getting 370 boomerang head & tail lights, and for the synchro rev, just stick your head out window when downshifting and let out a loud: VRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!!

In taxes already they are stretching their numbers by almost another $80-$100, from the price you were quoted. $599 is steep for dealer fees (pure profit), Ive never paid a dealer fee in my life..

When your negotiating, have you tried to talk all driveout prices, rather than breaking everything down. Have tried walking in with VPP pricing, i dont know if robert nash still does it or not? I think they are also smudgin the number of License/registration, I know when i did it in texas last time, on Bill of Sale sheet, it said $120 for me.

I went to Dealer B to see if they would knock a few more dollars off the negotiated price, but the guy I got had no clue what he was talking about. His first mistake was thinking that I was coming in for my first time and offered a test drive, but I told him I only wanted to talk numbers. Secondly, he said that I should get the fully loaded model, but I kindly refused and said I'd be more interested in the base with sport. He told me that would not include the wheels... So the finance manager tried to talk me into financing and getting the fully loaded for only $100 extra a month, I kindly told him my payment was going to be paid in cash. So from that point they said there weren't any other Z's they could locate and I walked out. We'll see what happens tomorrow, maybe Lou will brighten up my day with a blow out deal.

So I got a call from Dealer C saying they could beat Dealer A's price and I would not have to put a deposit down. It was so funny cause he said, "what did they mention before? 31.5k?" and I said "yea" since that was lower than what I was offered and so now they can beat 31.5k so I think I'm going to go visit them!

Have you talk to Lou yet?
He offered me to ship the car via flat bed and I could not believe the price that he offer.
Let me put it this way, I have no desire to counter offer his price, that's how low it is.
I am still kicking my *** silly up to this days for not doing it!!!
Just an update, drove back from the dealer with "supposingly" it's been fixed (swirl marks and stone chips)
Got back home and inspect, not only it wasn't fix, they also put a new BIG "S" scratch across the hood that eats the clear coat
So really...if you want quality and trust, please go with Lou

That may be true, but some people may prefer to do deals locally.

I used to be a car salesman for 3 years at various new car dealers. And uh...there were characters just like you who frequented the dealer, always looking at the same model, etc. They never bought. Once dealers A,B,C...recognize your face and remember your excessive grinding, the salesmen will run as soon as you hit the lot.

See if what I wrote doesn't happen...

^^ how old are you really? the comments you make and the attitude you have, something tells me the high teens, low 20's? I can bring up 20+ threads with comments like the above.

a picture of a guy mooning? do you take things seriously and personally on here?

your always negative and always willing to be rude towards the guys with the legitimate questions/comments.

I used to sell motorcycles (BMW, Aprilia, MV Agusta, Ducati) and I can certainly vouch for this comment.

We have 4 or 5 customers that we laugh at and try to avoid as they walk the lot for this reason! It's definitely true!
