Default What's the employee discount?

My girlfriend's work is associated with Nissan (she didn't specify whether it was a dealership, or a corporate office), and one of the employees at nissan told my girlfriend that she'd be able to give her the employee discount on an 07 Z.

Any employees at nissan know what this is? Is the discount off MSRP, or invoice price?

*edit: my girlfriend only talked to this Nissan employee for a little bit, and she was told that she'd be called back about the details...but I was just wondering if anyone here knows.

My guess would be a few hundred over wholesale, or possible wholesale itself.

Hm, possibly because it was a rare(-er) Z? I'm looking for an 07 Enthusiast probably, if the price is good...Maybe touring if the price is amazing

and if the deal sucks, well, back to 03/04s I go.

I do not know for sure but I would think it would be at invoice minus the normal 599 - 650 dealer fee that is tacked on to all cars.

Default Sounds like a ploy to me.

A Nissan employee refers a customer. The customer buys a car, and the salesperson gives the employee $100 for the referral.

Well I know that it's 10% off Something, not a bad deal if it's off MSRP, but if it's off invoice..

I got my Z through an employee VPP discount back in 2003. I believe the discount was 1.5% or 2% below invoice and was fixed (non-negotiable).
