I suggested that if he was going to use that negotiating tactic, there are better deals than $1k off msrp to use; although, I doubt that a TX dealer cares if a TN dealer is selling for $1k less than him. It is probably more than $1k worth of hassle to buy in TN, when you live in TX.
You posed the idea that a person in TX would be getting a fair deal by purchasing for $1k less in TN.

My point was that the guy in TX shouldn't travel to TN to save $1k, when he might be able to buy in St. Louis and save $2.6k, as you did 2.5 months ago, or more. That big a saving is probably worth the inconvenience of having the car shipped or flying there and driving it home.
I don't disagree with what you are saying here, though. Part of the way I talked them to $2600 off was being ready to walk because of the deal I could have gotten in MN from the dealer selling at $1000 over invoice at the time.
I'm not arguing with what your intent seems to be. I'm just saying that the $1000 off isn't horrible compared to other dealers HERE.
PS. I concede that TN is a tropical paradise in the winter. However, the dealer in Morristown, TN lists 16 in stock, at this time, on the Nissan.usa website. So, $1k off msrp, which is $2k over invoice and $3k over dealer cost, is not that good a deal, when supply apparently exceeds demand at that dealership at this time.

MannishBoy,
Somehow, I doubt that anything we are arguing about is of any help to 350ez, in Houston.
Oh well. I always enjoy chatting about TN, which is a great place to live.

Hey, walc.
I bet the sheriff's department in Morristown has already spoken for all 16 of the Z's that came in there.
So, then there wouldn't really be an over-supply. Probably Shift_pursuit, you know.
Seriously, I heard that dealer advertising on the radio the other day that they were discounting all Nissan's, even the Z. So you may be right; could be a good deal there for now.
P.S. - tell your wife that I'm gonna take it easy on you today so you don't have to go back to the Holiday Inn Express. lol

It's gonna be 60 degF here Saturday! The last I heard, a big snow storm just hit up that way!
