Default Is this a good deal?

So I thought I was just going in to get some prices, but I have been at the dealership for 3 hours and finally got him down to a price. I just need toknow if it is fair.
I am looking at a base model 350Z with the carpeted floormats, trunk mats and cargo package. He argued with me about my number for invoice and ended up showing me the number he had for the invoice since he thought mine was too high. So the car apparently invoiced for $25,898. He has offered me $25,250 to drive off the lot (including tax, tags, and fees), so basically $24,250 for the car. The $24,250 includes the $1000 factory to dealer incentive I had to argue to get.
Is this a fair price? I appreciate any advice I can get! This is my first car buying experience!

Is that an 05 Base or 06 Base? Either way I think that's a good deal.

you can do better!! Go to carsdirect.com and you will see that this car is going for about 23.5K..They have special factory pricing on the 05 Z's now plus $1000 cash back....Try going throught carsdirect, it's no hassle and usually when it's end of year you will get the best price right up front online.....good luck

If your numbers are right, the price quoted is 87 percent of MSRP. That about right. Go for it.

Its been 17 days since my post. Did you pull the trigger on the deal or is the thread a waste of time?
