Buy under MSRP
I was reading in Consumer Reports Car Buyer's Guide 2003 about the Z. With every car it listed the Dealer Invoice, in other words, what the dealer paid for the car. It had it at a little over 30K for the track. I'm wondering if anyone has been about to negotiate a sale for closer to the dealer invoice? On the other hand, I test drove an Audi TT and they offered 2K below MSRP.

right here
I paid MSRP. If anyone wants a black Enthusiast with kick plates & aero..... MSRP + all taxes, etc minus $100 (nothing big, but it is below MSRP). It is my order that I need to get rid of.
Other than this, I don't think many dealers will go below anytime soon.

Dealer invoice is not what the dealer pays for a car. As a matter of fact, for mass production regular cars like camry, taurus..., if you pay more than dealer invoice, you actually get ripped off.
There are couple pricings for a vehicle:
Manufacturer cost, which is actual cost to build the car, for 350z, I think it's about $14K-$18K.. then there's dealer cost, which is the price at what the manufacturer sells the car to the dealer. MSRP is you know what..

Right now, and for the near future, I'd say if you are stopping by a Nissan dealer and driving off the lot with a new 350Z for less than MSRP you have made a great deal. In my area I have recently seen dealers with Z's in stock asking 8-10K ABOVE MSRP, and the few places I visited that were charging only MSRP were for orders that will take 2-4 months to fill.
I am just starting to see Thunderbirds advertised below MSRP, and they were price gouging on those just a year ago, but I think it's too early to see this on the Z.

Here in the Chicago area at Star Nissan, they were offering to give me a lower price and all I told them was that i was just looking at the 350Z not that I was really interested. I'm thinking when the time comes for me to buy it they might go under MSRP.

Good Deal Below MSRP
I live in Alberta, Canada and got a awesome deal on my Touring Z. First off I got $250 below MSRP and am paying no docs fees which most dealers charge close to $500 incuding the administration. So I saved $750 on my new Z that is being built and will get in the first or second week of Januaury.

Those should go through the standard definitions, and give you a list of what the dealer holdback is for each brand. I think infiniti is 2% off total MSRP.
