Hey guys..

I have so far the price of

$30,500 OTD for an 05 Nissan 350z ENTHUSIAST Automatic, no side curtain, no side impact, with the typical small accessories.

I have a feeling I can do better, anyone agree?

or should I say screw it and go with this offer?

 

do better

 

btw, I have done my research

AVERAGE INVOICE I FOUND: 27236

DEALER PROFIT OVER INVOICE : (GIVE THEM 700 profit over invoice): 27936

ADD TAX TITLE ETC: 27936 plus 2304 (TAX CA 8.25%)

=30240 ..


I pushed it to that number through the FLEET DEALER... he said that 30,600 OTD was pushing it and said he needed to talk to the owner of the dealership since going lower would cut into the dealer holdback..

is this true? I mean , I worked with the fleet manager thinking that he had the final say..but obviously...

what to do..bump tips?

 

Your pretty much right on your numbers, but some have done under invoice on the price of just the car. You can too, play dealers against eachother. Easy to do over emails to there internet sales people.

Doesn't hurt to try, you don't want to regret it later. Also don't let them sell you all that extra crap you don't need, well maybe take the GAP insurance.

Also why the Auto?

 

which part of california you from? I'm looking to buy an enthus model too.

 

Just paid $30,064 OTD for a 6MT enthusiast today. I think it s a good price considering Zs are still kinda rare in CT.

 

I paid about the same amount as pj550v12 when I bought mine.

BTW, congrats on the purchase pj550v12!

 

I have a manual car right now and Im sick of it. I want to talk on the phone and eat a burger while I drive. I commute to school and work in Los Angeles...gas clutch brake, gas clutch brake, brake clutch shift, shift clutch gas brake honk honk honk,

Im looking to pay no more than 30,000 so yea

bump anymore tips? im from So Cal btw

 

Manual all the way!

See, you drive with your knees, and eat with one hand and be on the phone with the other... lol ( I know, I know, not smart )

No, I'm kidding, although that has happend once or twice. Even so I seem to drive better then most other people around me on the road while doing all of this!

 

It all depends on whether you want to squeeze the last drop out of a nickle or drive your new Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I'd go for the drive given you are getting a good deal. You can always do better.

 

mlam002,

Thats a really good price.

When I first bought the car in March of this year, I wanted to get the automatic Enth model so my wife can drive too. Perf. Nissan wouldn't give it to me at $30,500 OTD.

The next few days, I changed my mind and got the Base for 28,400. In cal, the price is usually higher than most part of the country.

What dealer gave you that price?

Thanks . . . now I just have to play the waiting game, but it should arive in time for the nice weather which is perfect!

 

I got mine from Cerritos Nissan. Bought the base model since I couldnt afford the Enthusiast. My sticker price was 27,440. Got an OTD price of 27,800.
A LOT of dealerships told me msrp out the door was impossible and quoted me outrageous prices like 29500.
I just called cerritos and told the first guy who picked up the phone - look i'll pay 28,000 out the door, if u can do that deal i'll come down in half an hr to pick it up. he said he had to ok with his manager. told him to call me back. called me back in 5 minutes, said ok. when they crunched final numbers it ended up being a little less.

 

BazingerZ,

Thats a good deal. What month did you buy it and what year of the car?



Tony

 

A big factor on the deal you can get is where you live . . . for example, Portland is not a 'sports car city.' As a result no dealer I went to had more than 2 or 3 Zs on their lot.

They were much less willing to deal given there are not many around and I was even working the internet managers. I left two different dealerships with "when you decide you can meet my offer call me."

Geography can be key to your deal.

 

I live in so cal.. so you can assume that they have a lot of Z's in Nissan's so cal branches

well bump.. anymore advice..

btw, edit, I have another dealership offering $30100 OTD now!

 

invoice price already includes dealer profit (of course, they will never tell you that). You can do better.

 

yea Im trying on getting a better offer than 30,100 out the door

bump anymore advice

 

i sold one just like that for 30k(a few months ago 2004 my though) otd with 6.5% sales tax here. Its a pretty good deal. you are so close to your number, I would just go with the guy that has put the most effort in for you, he deserves it and he will treat you the best if you ever need him...at least thats what i try to do.

 

I got it Nov 21st, and its a 2005. All the dealerships told me since its a 2005 that i couldnt get that price, but i did. Remember you can always do better, but once you've found a price your willing to pay for the Z, go ahead and get it.
