Interesting, does Nissan do a friends and family discount?

 

when i talked to the rep at nissan they said that they are going to start selling them the 2nd or 3rd week of jan but that they already have them and the only reason their waitting is because of the economical situation with the motor companies

 

For plan C. Spouse only for plan D.

 

They're not clueless. They're told not to give out dates or to give a date a long way out. They want you to not wait and come buy something today. If they tell you "next month", you'll just wait.

Anyone can buy for within a couple hundred dollars of "C plan" pricing by going through www.carsdirect.com. I bought a new '01 Jeep Cherokee and a new Frontier S/C Crew-Cab through them.

 

That may be true in some cases, but the majority of them are utterly clueless. The churn rate for many salesman at dealerships is unreal, and many of them come and go every few months. Most don't know the first thing about any of the cars they are selling, and that's after the car has been on sale for some time.

I buy and sell cars all the time, it seems the higher end dealers don't have quite the turnover and are trained to a higher standard than say a Ford or Dodge dealer's employees.

 

December 29th, 2008. Straight off Nissan's Marketing Web site.

 

^^ SWEET! I wonder if the Nissan website will be updated to reflect the new car as well? Right now it's still showing the old 350.

 

12/29/2008, 1/2/2009, what's the difference anyway. I just want to test drive it soon. Hope the exhaust sounds good.

thatttttts today! ill be giving them a call in the am

 

Let's see who will be the first to own a 370Z here.

 

Or at least snap a pic of one for sale at a dealership.

 

Going to test drive one this Friday 1-2-09. A white one with auto tranny.

 

Cool, is that the only one they'll have in stock? Is it a base model? Let us know what they are asking for it.

 

Atually I just hung up the phone with another dealer and they said that they would have one on their lot either today or before lunch time tomorrow. The only info he had on it is that it was a base model with the sport package. He didnt know price or color. If it comes in today I am going to leave work and test drive it.

I have called every single dealer in the state of Kentucky and only 3 have any kind of idea when they are getting them on their lots. Bad thing is... Almost every single dealer has said "Well, I dont have a 370Z on the lot but I sure could get you in a nice 350Z." I've got a bad feeling that dealers are going to rape us on 370Z pricing so they can try to move the 350's off their lots.

 

Patience in this situation is not only a virtue, but a way to save a ton of money. It'll take a couple months to clear the 08's I'd venture to guess. I'm in Houston and we aren't as hard hit in the econ/finance crisis, but sales here are slow. A dealer here finally moved a black Nismo after about eight months.

 

True, but here is my situation. I am in a current 350z lease that is up on 1-10-09. So, I kind of need to know right now if I am going to get bent over and poked from behind on the 370Z and have to look for another car... I have to set up my car inspection soon or I am going to have to send in another months payment and wait until February. I have been leasing with Nissan for my business since 1986.

 

I follow. I don't lease. Are you planning on leasing the 370Z? I ask because if you are planning on buying, then you have to consider different things.

 

Actually I am planning on leasing the 370Z. I know a lot of people do not like leasing but for myself it is just better. I do not put many miles on the cars I lease, and I do not do any major mods to the cars. For example, the 350Z that I have now I pay $403.67/month. Not too bad if you ask me...

 

The dealer near me has 9 350z sitting on their lot, and I am telling you, they're not moving.

 

Which dealer?
