Are the Enthusiat model in shortage? I called several dealerships in town and they all have at the most 2 enthusiast model in stock and over 10 touring models. There seems to be a shortage of enthusiast models and hard for me to find the color and options I want. Anybody experienced this?
What part of TX are you looking? Don Davis in Arlington has several.

I also found a lot of automatics on their lots. This is really pissing me off. The Z is not a limited production vehicle and I am having a hard time finding one that meets my specs. Which is basically any color except redlind and yellow with manual tranny. I only found one dealership and they are 50 miles away.
Try Reliable Nissan in Albuquerque, NM. Maybe you can strike a deal where they will return your airfare if deal is closed. It worked for me when I found mine in Phoenix. Look at it this way, driving it home will eat into those breakin miles....

cuz it's the most bang for your buck...it has the LSD and HIDs over the base model, but is more for the guys/gals who intend to mod their car with aftermarket wheels and other things so the money they save from buying a performance, touring, track model, they can customize their enthusiast to their liking

If you're talking about invoice and not msrp that is an excellent deal. Most enthusiast's go for about $29,500, MSRP, that would put the invoice at approx $26,800 and that includes destination charges. ( I looked up the prices on CARS.com for DFW area)
When I bought mine, no one would talk about anything except MSRP.

Hi, when did you go and deal on the enthusiast? I went into a dealership yesterday and they offered me invoice+ $500 + TLL without much negotiating. I thought it was too easy so I asked for more off and they wouldnt do it so I walked. The invoice was $26871, it was an enthusiast with no options. I think I can make out at another dealership for invoice + TTL.

I bought a 2005 Touring with AT fully loaded with
satellite radio and all the other dealer addons but MSRP was
$34, 470.
