Wish I had the cash to buy an '05 now but I don't. Let's just hope they don't take me to the cleaners in Feburary on a '06.

bi xenon is cool but how often do you need to turn on your high beams? I think in all my years driving i never "had" to use high beams once. The new colors are definitely cool. Airstreams sounds like it could be a cool gray blue metallic color and the plum color could be a nice purplish color. 300hp on all models is nice, but is this a revised 300hp VQ motor or is it the 300hp motor from the track version with higher redline?

I'm thinking of either picking up an '05 now at just below invoice or waiting for the '06's. It's like a 3400+ difference if they sell the 06's for just MSRP (more if they go MSRP+). I'm not sure I can justify an extra 3-4k for some new lights, etc. Of course, I could wait until next year to buy an '06 for Invoice. 

Even if you purchase at full list, these changes are more than worth it. However, the interest rate right now will save about $1000 per year. Happy shopping.

I was all set to buy a 2005 enthusiast this week. But I found out from a friend (a coworker whose husband works for nissan) that I can get employee pricing on a 2006.
As much as I want the Z now I guess I can wait.
Anybody know what employee pricing is like on a Z?

I did notice that Richmond, VA is apparently a good "markup" community while I was researching...I had to go up there on business and a Nissan dealer (Pence Nissan?) happened to be within eyeshot of my hotel. I wandered up to their lot to find they have $1500 markup over MSRP on every one on the lot...insane!
don't worry about the standard 18" guys! When they come out there, we can all get 'em as easily as we get the current 18"s on the forum...right? hahaha As long as people aren't asking $1500 for them *snicker*

Just recently I was at the dealership and they wanted to offer $1,500 off the $48,000 MRSP for an 05' 35th.
Can you shed some light on this from a CA dealership perspective?
Thx much

jdg345,
Where are you getting the number $3400? Maybe in Canda on a roadster that sells for $53000, but your generally not going to get a discount like that in CND dollars much less US. I never meant big discount plus interest savings, which is why I said "however". What I meant was this; negotiated price vs. negotiated price, the '06 will be a better buy.

When the 2006's are available, they'll be selling them for MSRP+ ... so there's where the $3k comes from. Add on to the fact that there is great financing on the 2005's now and the savings adds up quickly. I hate paying MSRP in general, much less MSRP+ on something that is going to depreciate 20% as soon as I turn the key. I figure I'll save the money on the 2005 and can 'upgrade' in '08 or '09 when they release something totally new.
