I just bought my Z three weeks ago for $1000 over invoice....why?...because it is a 35th Anniversary Edition and it was the second one to arrive in the state of WA. The first one was an auto tranny....I wanted a 6 speed. I stated with the internet and then confronted the dealer face to face. Dealers aren't working those below invoice deals on these anniversary editions. In fact, when I bought mine, another guy was looking at the same car and the dealership was working him over with the second sticker trick....ADM (additional dealer markup)....that was $4000!!! If I didn't get this rare edition, I had another deal lined up for $200 over invoice on a touring model....glad I went with the 35th Anniv Edition...cost me more, but well worth it. This car is great!!!

I am a proud father of an 18 year old kid that just got a free ride to ASU. I have a 2004 Base 350Z with NISMO parts. My son (turned 18 this March) had saved $13K at his part time job. I helped him negotiate an awesome deal at Pinnacle Nissan in Scottsdale. My son bought the new 2005 Base Z for $24,995 plus fees ($27,750 out the door) on a five year loan at 6% interest, with a payment of $291 a month. The loan is in my son's name only (I did not co-sign). I know he could not have got financing on the internet, given that his credit file was literally, empty. They offered him a job. He starts there as a part time salesman next month when High School is out! This story has not been embellished...

Oh, forgot to mention..previously mentioned dealer is installing NISMO Cams, NISMO Headers and UR Undercut Crank Pulley as we speak, I mean, write. Hopefully it will be a good result.

I want to trade my 03 DB Performance Z for an '05 Super Black Base Z. I want a Black '05 and I don't care about the options it doesn't have. I didn't mod my '03, so I'm prolly going to go aftermarket anyways. Avg trade-in for my Z with 13,700 miles is around 24K, dealers say 22k. Anyhow, I want 25,600 which is nowhere near avg trade-in, but STILL over 2K under retail. So it's not like the dealer is going to lose money (they never do. pfft.) So since I want so much for my Z, I offered $500 over invoice. What do you guys think?

Uh, tell me again why you are trading it in? It doesn't make sense to me.

Noticed a trend of depreciation towards the base model price over the past 2 years. In other words the price of a base model and performance model with the same mileage have been closer together this year compared to last. So why not just start right out with a base 05 Z, and possibly sell it in a year? I'll actually be slowing down the depreciation I think it's a valid strategy.

Do you think it's because the base version comes w/ cruise control now? That's what I saw in the '05 brochure. It makes sense, if a car doesn't have a/c or power anything, it'll certainly drop faster than it's upgraded version. (ie. civic dx and lx). But the base version of any car usually used for marketting purpose and bought the least, but in the Z's case, it's actually opposite. According to Carsdirect.Com, the base is the most bought version of all.
