Default how much to pay for a new enthusiast?

hey guys,

i'm kinda having problems finding a good used blue auto, so i'm looking at a new one. i got quoted $30,290 for an enthusiast model. thats including freight and all that, but i don think it includes taxes, reg, etc. is this an acceptable price or can i find better? i'm thinking i can find better because that is at least 1k over MSRP, and a good 3k over invoice. my friend bought one and got it for 2k under MSRP. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

-Steve

ok, i just got quoted $28,093 + tax and license and dest fee from hayward nissan. About $2k cheaper than Fremont Nissan. i'm trying to see who can outbid the other. I believe this is a much more reasonable price. What do u guys think I should do?

You can do better. I got mine for 500 over invoice, and I know some have done better than that. Also, do invoice pricing on Edmunds.com and make them show you the invoice, they have to.

Offer em 400, 500, whatever over invoice, and if they come back with some other number (they will... one dealer came back to me with OVER MSRP).. just walk out.

Autos cost more, so yes thatsounds like a very good deal. But whether or not you care about options, they do cost money and they do affect the final price. But even without ANY other options I think thats a good price, and any options it does have is just icing on the cake.

Make em fight

All Nissans should give you 500 off for being a *recent* college grad... make sure and tell the other guys that you are!

Tell 'em invoice or no way. But do that in person, not internet. The best deal i got from 15 dealers over the internet was 200 over invoice. The car has some demand, but not enough to justify @ invoice. But +200 over invoice should be ok too, no more than that. Enthusiast model they'll try to screw you by adding in the door sills, carpets, and kick panels. Those aren't worth that much, not to mention carpets should come standard for a car that is 30k >.> The 200 over invoice should cover that.

when I bought mine they didnt do the college grad discount. However that helped me get 3% finanicing.

I bought my car under the invoice - using VPP from nissan.

However, they got me on nismo exhaust, intake and spoiler. => paid total like $2200 for that.

Rememebr dealership will get you somehow
