Talking How much did you spend for Enthusiast Z???

I signed on to this site over a year ago, posted a bit and then the EVO 8 bug bit me and I started hanging out with that crowd, test drove the EVO and STI around here and there, went to a few shows, and suddenly I find myself back to the 350Z. Aside from incredible acceleration and speed, I finally realized that those two cars don't have much else...afterall it's still a 4-door sedan (now how cool is that? hahaha j/k)

Anyway, to make a long story short, my decision: 2005 PPW Enthusiast 6-speed

How much did you guys (especially you California guys/gals) get your Enthusiast for before and after license/registration/tax ? ... I just want to know how much I should expect to pay and how much haggling I can do before I can go no further.

I know about the search option but I could not pull up specific info on this so if you could cut the flaming and just provide me with some quick figures, I'd greatly appreciate it. Happy holidays!

I don't own one, but from my research from this site, I've came up w/ ppl buying @ or + or - 300 invoice. So, the otd would be 28k otd or higher. But I'm looking for a new ethusiast @ 27k otd which is 1k under invoice. Doubt I'll find one tat cheap lol

After struggling with the dealer I finally got out the door for 31k at a So Calif. area. Enthusiast w/automatic. This was 2 weeks ago.

Paid $28167 net/$30782 OTD at Wondries Nissan in Alhambra last weekend for my '05 Enthusiast.

That was a few hundred below dealer's invoice so I feel like I got a fair deal.

They also have new '04s on the lot, which were being discounted pretty aggressively (forget the details... I wanted the UY).

Their e-commerce/fleet mgr is Andrew Keroles at 626-380-2209 or ecommercefleet@wondriesnissan.com. Good guy -- drives a modified 300ZX.

Enjoy!

wow good deals guys...yeah I don't really care for a lot of the options...just want a PPW Enthusiast 6-speed. Don't care about wheel options, leather seating (if it is available, and stereo stuff) cuz I'm gonna change those eventually. Did any of you deal past the salesmen and direct to the fleet manager (via AAA membership discount???) I heard that the fleet managers usually cut all of the crap in between and make a fair deal for you since they don't work off comission...

I just purchased a 05 enthusiast OTD 29500 dallas texas. Believe I negotiated with every dealer in the area and landed one who gave me this price because it was xmas eve.

I dealt directly with the manager on my '04 enthusiast and got it for $26,200. I think that is around invoice. OTD - 29,700 TN tax.

in cali. you'd be very lucky if you get invoice...pretty impossible to get below invoice i think (unless you or your family member works for nissan).
got mine for 30k otd (otd=price of car+tax/license+and other misc. fees)

31,521.00 OTD with about 1400.00 in options but you have to take in account that I special ordered and I took del. of my 2004 Enthusiast on Sept. 03, 2003. I was one of the fisrt to receive a 2004 model. you have to pay for those little priviliges.

Based on what I've been reading on the Zzz sites you should get at least $1000 below MSRP; maybe $1500-$2000 if you are a good negociator & want to spend the time.

I'm talkin' Cali here; not back east in the dead of winter.

You can come really close to invoice price on the 05's, but than again mine was a UY color (I don't think this is a very popular color). OTD you'll be pretty much in the high 29K or low 30k without much options or extended warranties.

got mine for about 31k out the door... got it with everything the dealer told me I ABSOLUTELY NEEDED. yeah, i got sold... but it is worth it. ppw? that's exactly what i have. before that i had an 03 silver at enthusiast. big mistake. get it in stick and don't ever settle. if you have a costco membership i heard you can get cars for pretty cheap compared to just going to the dealership. you might want to explore that option too. happy holidays all...

Oh I drive nothing but manual tranny cars...even in traffic; I just plan my commute carefully ... oh and yes PPW is my one and ONLY choice! The color is awesome!!! It's grown on me in the past year.

And this thing about Costco membership and discounts...do tell!
