First off, I want congratulate y'all on a great online community. I've lurked for a little while and have read quite a bit on here and I'm really impressed. There is the occasional bad apple, but for the most part everyone is as helpful as possible. Keep up the good work!

I'm looking to purchase a Z in the next 3-4 weeks or so (as soon as I graduate) and will probably go with the Enthusiast trim level. It seems to be a good fit for the options that I want. Anyway, how willing are dealers to come down on the price or throw in various incentives/options? I know that every dealer is different, but based on your shopping experiences what would be a reasonable amount? I see that right now Nissan is offering a $500 cash discount for recent graduates, so I'll be taking full advantage of that

 

As you just said, it varies by dealer. I bought mine a bit over invoice, no haggling. I heard stories of other dealer's here not discounting at all!
There were some posts here not along about good/bad Nissan dealers in Houston. You might want to post on the Regional board for Texas and ask.
Good luck with the purchase!!

 

Thanks for the help, I'll do that.

 

Here's the link: http://www.nissanusa.com/signature_graduate/index.html

But it says $500 Cash Back on:
2007 Sentra, Frontier, Altima (excluding Hybrid and coupe), Versa or Xterra

I see no Z but anyways good luck shopping

 

New or used?

 

I'd like to go with a new car just for the peace of mind that I'll be the one breaking it in. Hopefully I can play the poor college kid card and get a good deal.

 

When you find the Z that you want, post the MSRP.

 

Same here man i bought it new so in my mind im the one breaking it in.And im the one taking care of it from the get go.I had a 03 touring used with 35,000miles when i bought yea it was nice and i had no tranny problems.But still nothing beats the feeling of having a car brand new and you take care of it the way you want. But anyways good luck on your find i have a enthusiast and love it.

 

Believe me I played the poor college kid. When it comes to the Z there isnt much haggling room. I got my 07 Enthu for around...umm..30k after it was all said and done

 

Oh yeah sounds about right 30k

 

Thanks for the replies, I really appreciate it. So you guys got an enthusiast for 30k including TT&L?

 

I got mine for 31,500 it came with z floor mats,splash guards i had a good trade in though.I had a 03 touring i owed $18,000 and they gave me 19,500 for it remind u i kept it mint and it only had 36,865miles when i traded it.

 

Getting back to the main topic here. When you refer to "Bad Apples" who comes to mind ???
