Buying an 06 350Z
I am thinking about ordering it online, because I herd that you can get a better deal. Is this true? Also were is a good place to order it from, the model is Enthusiast MT and the color is Le Mans Sunset or Baytona Blue. Any help would be great

Not necessarily true, often the "internet managers" have the best price to offer compared to the floor room salespeople.
Alternatively, you could do what I did and sign up with costcoauto.com
which will probably get you the best price available to mere mortals.

Edmunds has made the new car buying process much easier for the consumer. Well I should say made information more easily available, dealing with the clowns is still lame as ever

Were you able to get them any lower than that once you told them about the costo discount? I heard that it was a no-haggling price.

Your wrong about the car being on the lot being an advantage. As a former car salesman I've seen deals head south because of that. I had a buyer that was ready to purchase but the manager shot it down because he thought he could get an extra 400-500 dollars from someone else. If the car hasn't even been built yet, that's not a problem. He can agree and make a little money or he can disagree and make nothing. You are the only buyer when you order but have to compete with others on the lots.

Do you really think they want to risk having left over models on the lot? I dont think they would pass up on a sale in order to hope to make a few hundred more from someone else. If nothing else, sell you the car for a little less, and still make the sell to the next person.

Most of these lots aren't financing the cars when they buy them from Nissan, and therefore cost them no extra money to keep on the lot. Even the guy who washes the vehicles gets a flat rate.

I was in the industry so I know what I'm talking about. I don't know where you are, but out here most lots own the cars 100%. Most are also self insured.

"Costco" price
My wife and I recently purchased a Nissan. We went to the dealer asking for the "Costco" price, and the salesperson basically would not tell us the price. We wasted time tossing payment numbers around, but never would the salesperson ever reveal the "Costco" price. What BS. The entire point was to avoid haggling, but in the end, we had to put up with a lot of bull****. They also gave us false information, telling us that the Costco program does not apply to leases, but we later learned it does.
