Have you been reading the whole thread?

That's $200 PLUS the dealer holdback (previously quoted at 2.8% of invoice, approx $775-800), PLUS a "documentation fee" of perhaps $200-500.

And a good salesman will manage to talk the buyer into additional profit makers, like extended warranty, glass etch/theft protection, paint sealant, fabric treatment, etc.

Dealerships do occasionally fail, but it usually isn't because they sell cars too cheap.

I'm pretty sure he didnt have the vpp. He just got lucky and found a great price on one, plus he didnt pay for freight.

I'm guessing this data comes from nnanet? How can a consumer lookup all Z's of a certain package in a given area? The nissanusa website sucks for searches.

The reason I ask is, that while shopping for a Z this month, I seem to get the runaround from the dealer. I tell him I want color A, with options B,C,and D. He shows me something close telling me that it's all thats out there, I say not interested, he magically finds something closer to what I want...etc etc.

Also, I'm looking to lease. How do I know for sure if the dealer is or isn't padding the money factor and residual numbers that the bank gives?

Just got off MSN with John@Victory. This guy went so far above and beyond for me, without even knowing me, and knowing I'm too far away to buy a car from him. I now feel confident enough to go work a deal with my local dealer.

Thanks again, you rock!
