for a 2004 350z performance manual with 1200 miles on it. It's considered new.
they offered 29,000 out the door...what do you guys think.

 

uh, 1200 miles = NOT new. They are trying to fob off their demo car on you at new car prices. It has probably been driven hard from day 1.

Try haggling with them, start at 26K and fight for every dollar. When they say it's new, laugh at them.

seriously.

The options the car has will significantly change the price; NAV will add anywhere between 1 & 2 grand (it's 2k new), airbags are pricy, etc. etc...

a 2005 Performance with no options will MSRP (including destination) at 31.4k, and if you haggle well, you can get one for 28-29k + tax, title, registration.

 

Too expensive if you ask me. Try and get it lower.

+1 on the new laugh thing. LOL
That is the worst lie! Just because it may not have been titled doesn't mean it isn't used. It's probably the one car they chose to let everyone test drive so they could keep all the other cars on low miles. Dealers do this so they only have to try and sell one high mileage "new" car.

 

1200 miles = used car (demo car).

I would think twice before getting this car.

Lets say that average test-drive is 10 miles => around 120 people test drove this car. And everybody was beating on it hard...

First inspect the car - take your time. Drive it for a while, make sure everything is OK.

Get a letter saying that if you find anything wrong with this vehicle you have the right for a full refund (or at least that they will fix it).

I would say pay like 5k under the invoice.

 

You wouldn't get $5k under Invoice for it, the dealer would lose so much $$. Invoice is around $28500 for an '05 Performance, so it shouldn't be too much different.

$29k OTD with 1200 miles sounds like a good deal. But I would see if you could swing a deal for an '05 Perf. for a little more. Dealer demo's do tend to be beat on.

 

Tell him 27k OTD and you want a free Nissan Hat.

 

OTD the door means with tax & license. I don't think that's a bad deal assuming you get full warenty.

 

I'm glad someone agrees with me. Figure $200 for the license stuff and 6% sales tax (random average number) that would put the car at arounbd $27k before tax. And since it only has 1200 miles, that would include the original warranty.

 

i have to agree to 510dat
we have z350 at dealer its like 800 miles on it they sellit as new

but i know when they just brought this car to dealer it was like 200 mile or something
i know how that car was fooked so i im not buying it and waiting for new one

try to get it lower , 27000-27500

 

i bought it today for 27k OTD, they even paid for a new plate...gonna pick it up tomorrow...yippeeee

 

very nice :-)

welcome to the family

 

gratzor , welcome to the family

god everyone bought 350z , my turn now~

 

Wow, congrats and enjoy!!

 

Ohhhhhh I'm jealous That's a killer deal . . . I bought my Performance 03 when they first came out for about 30K OTD. My next vehicle will be a low mileage used one. No reason to toss money away on depreciation and 1st year defects (albeit minor).

G

 

In that 1200 miles I bet you the **** has been beaten out of it.

 

You can get a brand spanking new 05 350 Z Enthusiast out the door @ 29k if you can bargain for that long. If your set on the Performance model, I would guess 29k OTD for an 04 is fair. Then on the other hand 05 ...........

 

Nice job haggling! You have to walk out at least once to get the best deal!

 

If you are happy about the purchase, then it was a good deal. That's how I looked at my purchase. Congrats.

 

not much harm can come from 1200 miles of test driving a car...there isn't enough open road around car dealerships to really beat on it that much...90% of the time the salesman will go along on the test drive so i doubt anyone is reving to 4k and dropping the clutch with the salesman in the passengers seat around a bunch of traffic... Now if the sales man took the car home a few times i can see them redlining it once or twice...or doing burnouts...but that even gets old...alot of guys on this site do burn outs all the time, whats the problem? there is none. Yeah, the break in period is at 1200 miles, but some people don't believe in a break-in.

 

Excellent! How was the haggling? and what color is it?
