which trim is the most reasonable priced and most bargainable at the selling table touring, enthusiast or track. I think touring and track are the hoit sellers so probably the bare enthusiast version would be the best buy....what do you guys think.

 

I agree about the enthusiast. Especially if you are planning to mod your car. The enthuz comes with enough options stock to give you some time to really start modding, but at the same time you are not paying for parts that you plan to replace eventually anyway. It's also about the way you bargain. If you come in there and as for a car and are timid, they will not budge. When I went in to a dealership this is exactly what i said to the guy:

"Ok i'm looking for a silverstone 350z enthusiast model with a 6-speed. I would like for you to give me your best possible price. After you give me your best possible price I'm going to take it to about 5 other dealerships and I'm going to have them try to beat your price. If they beat your price I will come back here and have you try to beat other dealers' prices. I'm going to be doing this until I have one dealership left with the lowest possible price, and then I'm going to buy the car."

After saying all that the guy basically totalled the price of the car based on his cost and then asked me to tell him how much money I think he should make on top of that price. The price we left off on was about 280 above invoice. Which came out to 29.5k out of the door, including tax, title, registration, and plates.

 

I think the sales people are selling a 350Z. They probably don't distinguish between the different trim levels when it comes to how much they're willing to haggle with you about price.

My personal opinion is that you should buy the car based on what you want out of it. If you like leather and heated seats and a *cough* premiun sound system, get the touring. If you want a car that's more ready to hit the race course, get a Track (but plan on new brake pads first). If you're the kind of person who's determined to replace brakes, wheels, seats, etc. etc. etc., then get the cheaper car. You're going to be replacing everything that's variable through the trim-levels anyway, so why buy the more expensive trim levels.

 

Yea what he said. It's more about the bargaining than about which model you are picking. So pick the one you want for whatever reasons you want it, and then bargain with the guy for it. Don't forget that there are other dealerships out there, even if they are far away. They can all trade with eachother for cars. So if the dealership doesn't have it on the lot they can ALL get it, even if they have to ship one from across the country. Which means go to as many dealerships as necessary before you get what you want. Remember it's your money and you earned it, and you're not gonna give it away unless you have to
