Default At the Dealership Now...

guys im at the dealership right now looking at a 2005 performance with the following options
side airbags
floor mats
splash guards
cargo convenience package
aluminum kick plate
trunk mats

total msrp is 32510 Invoice is: 29995.

they said i could take it for 28500.
I counteroffered 27500 which they havent looked at yet.

If you can. Summer is a hard time to try and get the best deal on a sports car.

Try to get em at 27K even - walk away and see if they call in about an hour - they usually will.

hell of a time and location to register and ask for advise. well, you are getting a 2005 model. YOu should get a hell of a deal on that. I am thinking more like you offering 25k to 26k.

Welcome to the forum. You are supposes to research prices before visiting the dealer.

1) Sounds like you would be better off with a no-haggle price.

2) You can get a fixed price (I got $500+invoice) using costcoauto.com

good luck

What happened, did you buy it?

I also bought a new '05 about 6 weeks ago, got it for 7,000 less than MSRP. This was for a roadster in a good color with options I wanted. I'd think for a coupe should be about the same diff. from original price, i.e., offer around $25,000 - 26,000 or so.

Dealers are getting money from Nissan corporate to move their left-over '05s, don't listen to the dealers wailing they're not making any money off you. They are, for sure.

hey guys i had done a lot of research on prices, just not on the 05 trims too much. the car actually had 250 miles on it and they wouldnt budge from 28. so i decided an 06 would make more sense.... I drove the snot out of the 05 then took an 06 base they had on the lot for 26k i think i did ok. i love this thing!


btw...it had 8 miles when i drove it off the lot
