27 flat. I'd never advise the dealer that I bought it from becuase they took an excessive amount of time to get it to me. Nonetheless, Royal Nissan in Baton Rouge Louisiana. I'd advise any of the LeBlanc dealers before them. They worked with me even though I had ordered the Z from Royal and their price was only 200 dollars higher.

Invoice for a 2005 z enthusiast coupe is 26,496(manual) and 27,421(auto). These prices are without any options,so keep that in mind.Try to get your car for 500.00 above invoice. Remember, they need you more than you need them. I have a 2005 350 roadster( Enth) and I got it right at invoice. I paid 34,900 before taxes. And if the dealer you go to will not do it, find a dealer that will. I know from my own experience that you can get that car right around invoice.But I must admit that I bought my car in January and I am sure that helped my cause for getting it at invoice. But no matter what the circumstances, do not pay dealer price. Take your time and shop around. Good luck.

I am trying to get a Z coupe in daytona blue. The dealers said the color is rare and should cost more money to have the car in that color. Is this true? Ive actually seen quite a few daytona blues around here in LA.

Joseph-
I purchased my vehicle 3 weeks ago at Power Nissan in Torrance. The Sales Manager there, Jim Scira, gave me the vehicle for a VERY good price. I'd give him a call if I were you. Tell him Hung sent you; if he doesnt remember me, tell him I was the guy who brought 19k in Cash to his dealership. At the least, he'll give you the car for invoice price which isnt too bad.

I actually got a Daytona Blue 6-spd Enthusiast 2 weeks ago. They are more rare than say silver or black but they can be found. It isn't the rarest color either. 5% of all Zs made will be Ultra Yellow, 5% will be Lemans Sunset, 7% is Daytona Blue, and I am not sure on the other number but the next, I believe is white, then red, then black, and then the silvers. The two silvers are BY FAR the most common. I think they are both over 30% each. Just have them do a dealer trade to get your car for you. I got mine at $99 over invoice because I told them that if I drove to Ohio to get the car I can get it for $500 over invoice(lie) and he spoke with his manager and got me the deal. The hardest part was finding the car. I found one in Ohio but it got sold out from under us during the dealer trade. Then I found one in virginia and they went and picked it up. I now have it and LOVE it. Best color out there in my opinion. And fairly rare.

I paid just under $29,000 for mine. It is an automatic, and I got a few of the smaller options like kick plates, floor mats, & trunk mat.

Good luck, and good choice!

What everyone else has said is true, so listen Also, the only color that should cost more is the Ultra Yellow. For some reason it is a 500 dollar option Daytona Blue may be more rare than Silverstone, but I would not pay extra for it, and I am not too sure I would want to deal with a dealer that told me I would have to either.

I used a VPP program and my 2004 Enthusiast (i guess with side airbags) was like 27k. + all upgrades (Nismo exhaust, intake, spoiler) +taxes + plates....

I got the floormats and full tank of gas for free


You guys forgot about $580 destination charge. I guess it is not negotiable...or maybe I am wrong.

After much wheeling and dealing i got a 6spd enthusiast yesterday. It was 30,467.66 otd through a middleman. I did, however, easily get a quote for 29,700 (roughly 500 above invoice).

Alot of Z's are sitting on the lots and I think dealers are in a hurry to clear inventory. The quarter end (end of April?) is coming and dealers will slash prices by a good number so look for some deals.

The Daytona Blue 6speed Enth will be the HARDEST car to find if you have any experience similar to mine. That is the car that I got. I ordered it on November 19th and it did not arrive until February 1st. Talk about aggrivation, I don't even know where to start. I have an entire thread about it posted here:https://my350z.com/forum/2003-2009-nissan-350z/104967-sometimes-things-don-t-go-as-planned.html

Good reading/crying over. I'm happy though...2500 miles on the odometer and I'm still smiling.

I just bought an '05 PPW Enthusiest for $27898 plus 7% tax. That included:

floor mats
trunk mat
cargo convenice kit
aluminum kick plate
splash gaurds

The price was $27328 but they added the rear spoiler for $570. The $27328 was about $100 below invoice according to Edmunds.

BTW - great choice on the Enthusiast. I think its the best bang for the buck if you're looking for a new sports car.
