How much should I expect to pay for a base model?

 

Id say with good haggling, depending on dealer, inventory, location, and past with that dealer(if youve bought from him before) you might see 25000. thats without destination or any options, and then there tax. but at 25000 your about 1200 under MSRP, not so unreasonable I dont think. but often bases are actaully kinda rare, so the dealer might not be so much looking to push it out the door.

 

i paid msrp for mine back in the preorder days 27,118 toal withou tax or tag i added splashguards and mats and kickplates plus some charge for lead acid or something was under 10 bucks then of course you have to add tax perc depending where you live

 

btw ares its 26200, + 540 dest charge

 

How much should I expect to pay for a base model?

 

Base model with no floor mats, no trunk mat, no brushed aluminum door seals, and well, nothing extra at all should be $26k and some change.

 

I've posted this a couple times, but anyway...

I got mine for $26,500. It came with aero, splash guards, trunk mat, floor mats, and kickplates.
Great deal...

 

Wow you did get a good deal. I wish I would of gotten the aero kit and splash guards with mine.

 

You won't find it for less then 26k. They are rare, there is no markup on them. So you will pay 26,200k (msrp) maybe you might get 300-500 lower.

And you will have to wait for it. Since it will have to be ordered.

 

The ones Ive seen go for close to 28,000. They all had some sort of extras such as floor mats or spoiler. The dealer told me you get what they give you and most will come with something extra.

 

Yeah me just add to my previous post. I have a base but I actually ordered mine and paid 26,200 and was given the trunk mat for free.

But I was given a chance to get a base a week prior to my delivery date and it was a brickyard with everything including the side airbags aero kit etc. Which was running 28 base price.

 

I can tell you that Earnhardt Nissan in AZ marked the Track up to $40k on the lot. That was the price of my TT 14 years ago. Who do these dealers think they are??

My base model was $25,150 ($1900 off sticker). It came with front and rear mats and splashguards.

 

I had a deal for a base at $28K out the door. That's all taxes, tags, fees etc.

Ended up getting enthusiast model for $29,500 out the door. IMHO enthusiast is the better deal since you get:

Xenon headlights - about $1000 aftermarket
Traction Control
Cruise Control
aluminum pedals
and a few other niceties.

I think its $1500 well spent.

my $.02

Aluminum pedals not a big deal $19.99 the z version is pretty cheaply made too.

But you are right Enthusiast is good for 2 things you LSD and HIDs. TCS for some people. And worth the 2k extra.

As far as crusie control well only on AT so forget that. I know how to drive a stick.

If there was a way to completely customize each z from ground up I would include LSD and HIDs on my base. Rest of the stuff doesn't interest me and I rather get after market S-tune Nismo stuff.

 

this is my first day to be on this website and i find it very informative. i have a few questions about my new daytona blue z and i hope someone has the answers because im having a difficult time finding information about my car. first, since i have the base model i want to order the piaa xenon headlight bulbs for my z, i have been able to locate the part number but i really need the bulb numbers. does ayone know what the numbers are on the bulbs. second, what quality mods are available at the moment for our car such as intake, exhaust heads or whatever. im going to by a k and n filter real soon, does it make any difference at all as far as performance just putting the filter in. is anyone aware of any 350z clubs in the houston area? if you could reply back or preferably email me back at steveta777@aol.com i would appreciate it because this is my first night on this site and im not sure how to read a reply on here. thank you, swc

 

Steve, I was just thinking about the Xenon Lightbulbs yesterday myself. I have a Base model myself and have already purchased the aluminum pedals which were very cheap and I am really suprised Nissan did not include these on the Base model. I would also like to upgrade to the Xenon headlights. I am even willing to just get the "hyperblue" bulbs, which in my opinion is all the xenon headlights are anyways. If you get the information your looking for to purchase these bulbs, pm me or im me on aol. My e-mail is same as my name on here (maximumpwr@aol.com). Oh and are you by any chance in the Clear Lake area. I keep seeing a daytona blue on Hwy 3 on the weekends. I was just wondering if that is you. The only daytona blue I have seen on the road in Houston is in Clear Lake.

 

The Enthusiast is a better deal but money is money and you buy what you want. BTW, I think all trim levels, except the Base, have cruise control on 6MTs, too.

 

Yes, trim levels, enthusiast and up, come with cruise control. I am not sure why Trix said that. I have a base and the only reason I was trying to get an enthusiast is for the limited slip rear end. I have had cars with the traction control systems and I always turned the off upon starting the car. I would rather rely on my personal drive skill.

 

I wasn't thinking that is why I said that.
