Default Need opinion from experienced Z'ers

I am currently shopping for a Z. I am looking for an 04 Silverstone Enthusiast 6-speed. I got a price from a local dealer who said he can get one here. This is the deal:
$29500 for an 04 silverstone enthusiast 6-speed (that is an out-the-door price meaning that includes 6% sales tax and title, registration and other fees. basically i write him a check for 29.5 grand and i walk out with my car)

Is that a good deal. If i counted that right that would be about 350 above invoice?

Let me know what you think of that deal, I have a couple of days to decide.
Thanks for your help peeps

$350 over invoice sounds like a deal... one of the better ones that has been told on the board. Check edmunds.com to see an average estimate of what people in your area are paying. [The estimate is] probably well over $350 over invoice... I'd have no real apprehensions for this purchase.

Shop around and see if the offers get any better...

I think that great deal if its $350 over invoice. I got my 04' Roadster at $200 over invoice but that was with VPP. I had real hard time finding a dealer who would take VPP.

$350 over invoice is GREAT DEAL with out VPP.

I tried shopping around and the other couple of dealerships I talked to told me to jump on the deal, but they're salesmen so I only trust them about 10%. Figured I'd ask you guys. Basically without tax title and registration, the selling price of the car is 27 grand. I think its good. I'm supposed to get a response for an interview I went to sometime this week, if Its a good response new Z for me...if it's a bad response, i'm going to the place I inerned for last year and they'll hire me...in which case its new Z for me anyway...just have to get my employment status at 100% before i write nissan any checks.

Make sure this car is one with the "new Euro suspension" Otherwise, you may have feathering problems. I believe the build date would have to be after November '03 to have the Euro suspension. Alos, if you can wait for the '05,s that would be even better IMO.

Euro suspension? Where is this printed from nissan? I would really like to know. Not trying to sound crass. But if they finally did fix the tire feathering I would like the upgrade.

Check ebay. There's a loaded touring model theft recovery. Only damage is a small scratch. About 130 miles total. Buy it now price of $28k. Brickyard to boot. Great deal and in CT I believe.

I was looking at that today. After I wiped the drool away I had to remind myself that I can't afford two Zs.

Good price, last year on an 03 enthusiast out the door 30,000 with 8% tax so it seems you got the same offer!
