Please only respond to the poll if you DID NOT have a trade in. To clarify, it should be the amount before tax, license, and destination charge. If you paid an advertising fee, please post a reply saying you did along w/how much you paid.

 

The poll is somewhat misleading because discount on a touring model is giong to be more than discount on a base model.

 

Unfortunately, polls are limited to 10 options. I wanted to have each option with and without trade in for instance.

 

Also, it depends when (in the production year) you bought it. The later in the year, the more discount.

I paid $34,000 for a Silverstone Touring model with all options except NAV. I doubt I got the best deal but I got a car I love.

 

Hey - what dealership did you ge tthe base at for 25.5 ? been looking around for near 2 months now for a lemans enthus, and cant get anyone to go lower than sticker on them.

thanks

 

I just got my car 4 days ago, a Black Enthusiast, for 27,500 MSRP was 29,500. Thats only 700 over invoice. BTW this is the first time ive been on my comp in 4 days...


EDIT: Oh yeah, the dealer also threw in the extened warantee and replaced one of the rims that had a sratch in it.. GREAT people over at North Texas Nissan of Sherman!

 

Touring - loaded

$32,150

 

Who was your salesperson? Looking to pick up a new Enthusiast Z in the DFW area and I wouldn't mind the extra drive if it saves me a few bucks!

 

I am in Atlanta and I bought mine 2 months ago with 4,000 miles on it for $27,000

Its a Silverstone Touring with all of the options including the nav system and side airbags.

 

UGH! Hopefully everyone that responded to the poll was referring to buying a NEW one. Throwing in #s from used ones really throws things off since cars depreciate quite a bit esp. in the 1st 2 years.

 

$1,275 under MSRP...but this car is CHEAP, considering the performance & style, at any price.

The dealer could have rolled me. If he'd said MSRP firm, take it or leave it, I'd still bought it!

IMHO this car is a great value.

 

Arg! Im getting a brain fart right now and cant recall his name(it could aslo be the fact that its 2 in the morning). Ill find out his name by going through the paperwork when i wake up...

Don't forget about the area also. In CA, Its really expensive and because of the demand, Dealers are not willing to negotiate. Most dealers, (especially in So. CA) only have 1-5 car in stock except for Cerritos Nissan(9 in stock) & Universal Nissan.(32 in stock) as of 6-22. They usally are more willing to Negotiate because they have enough inventory.

 

It seems to vary a lot by dealer. One dealer I went to, Burien Nissan in WA kept pushing MSRP and they had 6 on the lot at the end of the month. I spoke to my salesguy for my Maxima at Nissan of Fife (they have "special pricing" for employees of the company I work for) and he said a nickel over invoice. Too bad they have none right now (the low price is probably why).

I guess I'm heading to Fife. I had a good buying experience w/them and wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again.

 

I spoke to the guy at Fife, and they said "a nickel in auto industry" means $500. I dunno if he was changing his story or if he really meant $500 when I first spoke to him... hmmppphh. I bought a Maxima from him before and had a good experience.

I guess it's back to shopping around a bit again to see if it's good price for this area.
