I paid 25 flat with no fee's for my Base 2007 350z with cargo convenience package, aluminum kick plate, floor mats, trunk mat. i think thats about all the options it had. (im going to add stuff I want myself :P)

the paper said I paid under 25 grand then they added fees and it evened out at 25 grand flat tho. US dollars.

 

That’s what I figured.

 

Thank you for educating me on my profession. You have been sold/bought into end of year hype by some great salesmen. I hope you have your Nissan Y2k8 survival kit and tin foil hat.

Let me help out: Most 07 350Zs in ground stock are late production, and have been floored for less time than many pieces 08 stock. The only real reason to close on an 07 is if you want a solar orange or daytona blue. If spending minimum $$ is the only goal and resale over the next 2-7 years is not important, rebates are typically introduced on the second.

 

I think his mom is buying it for him

 

oh yea this is correct also.
I paid 25 flat for my 07 but I got the 07 because mainly, it was daytona blue. I love that color.

 

I falready igured out you work for a dealership (typical pushy type to urge one to buy a car). That being said, did not know the colors are a factor. However, I got 2 quotes for an 08 (not Daytona Blue or Solar Orange, Monaco Blue and Silver) for mid $26K's. When you can ****** a '08 for less than the price you "claim" good for an '07, what would be reasons for one to go for an '07???? And why not to try to beat up a dealership? Oh, I forgot, because you work for a car dealership.

Yeah, right, you guys (dealers) really take this into consideration when you try to rip off your customer on a trade-in... NOT.

 

im not a dealer but where do you get your info from?
A Company makes 2007 models.
Then they stop and make 2008 models and ship them to dealers.
then wait and ship 2007 models later on?

doesnt make sense to me, correct me if I am wrong.

but you can still get a good deal on a 2008. a 2007 will be about 2 grand cheaper for about the same stuff. Just have to fight hard and dont give into dealership tricks and crap. Worry about trade in value at the end and make sure you get a good deal on that also.

Dealerships ALWAYS make money one way or another so dont feel like your taking away their dinner at home.

 

Don't you love it when someone tries to tell you exactly how your job works?

 

If I'm not mistaken, I'm urging the OP not to buy a car...because there is no (financial) reason to buy an 07! Nothing personal, you seem to be lacking in the reading comprehension department.


To clear up the late production comment...new 07s were showing up on dealer lots well into november. For the most part, these are the ones still on sale. 2008 Nissans, such as titans, have been available for over half a calendar year. These cars represent more of an inventory liability than a 40 day 350Z, esp. in a place like Florida.

 

No offense taken, to con people has become your second nature. YOu cannot stop conning people to make a dealer's problem a buy'ers problem even it is not your sell and does not do anything good. Admit that, $26,900 for an '07 is not a good buy when you can ****** an '08 for mid $26K's and you tried to convince this guy it is a "good buy" at the beginning.

 

"Let me help out: Most 07 350Zs in ground stock are late production, and have been floored for less time than many pieces 08 stock."

This is just classic and down right HILARIOUS. I can visualize your doing this BS to innocent customers visiting your dealership. There is another thread about '07 vs. '08 and I strongly urge you to go there and do the same spiel to get laughed at. If your customer is say with an IQ of 50 or so he/she may fall that. I just cannot stop laughing you thought (seriously) that I would fall for this BS. A 5 yo kid would not fall for that.

 

Stop flinging mud; you've already proven you know little to nothing about the car business and 350Z. Personal attacks don't give you credibility. The purpose of this comment is if the OP had already happily driven home in his new car and sees my advice against the purchase.

I'm going to save my Hyundai Tiburon jokes, please see your way out.

 

I do not know enough about car business and I do not want to. While you think selling car is the coolest job in the world, trust me, it is not. All I know is I got two quotes of an 08 with my first email to my local dealers that are better than the price of 07 you claim "good" to the innocent guy who started the thread. I think you are probably not a bad guy and also understand it is very difficult in your business to maintain integrity. You con people without realizing you are con'ning them. It is down right hilarious when you try to convince people 07 is actually BETTER than 08 while there will be a decisive difference of the resale values. Let's say you buy a new 07 and a new 08 for an identical color and options. You turn it around and sell to say CarMax, a local used car dealer, or to that matter, your own dealer. Trust me, there will be a lot bigger price differece than the $80 of the original MSRP difference tomorrow, a year from now, two years from now, 5 years from now or 7 years from now. This only gets better when you start talking about "resale value" two sentences later in your OWN post. I know you are a good guy, mr. cool car sales man, so no hard feeling?

 

Am I the only one who thinks this guy is dense? My experience with people like this is their frustration arises not from the car business, but from barely being able to squeak into a base ______ at a bank favor approved lease after begging the worst stores in town for their last penny, and bad deals they bit off on in the past.

 

I see maturity in seth's posts and immaturity in crystalboy's posts to the point that I can't side with crystalboy even if I wanted too.

 

I fully understand you are so proud of being a CAR DEALERSHIP SALES MANAGER and that is absolutely the best job your education could offer you. When you said "it is not bad" it is the same thing with "it is good". I am not repeating what you said, you said on one hand trying to sell your BS that 07 is better than 08 forgetting about resale value and on the other hand beating down orange and daytona blue for resale value. Come on buddy, do not play dumb (or maybe you are really dumb that cannot realise how there is no integrity in what you say), you are a darn good con artist... oops sorry, a car sales man. Oh, and I did not know that you are not allowed to be in a pricing thread if you are not in the car business. I guess you need a license to get into this thread? And I think you are just too busy conning people that you do not know anything about financials. I do not know the specifics about car business, but what I said about inventory is a COMMON SENSE. There is something called "shelf life" (remember this for the next time when you try to sound intelligent). The length of shelf life varies by commodity. For groceries, it is a few days to a week. For consumer goods (such as clothes and electronics), it is a few months to a year, they get outdated even though they do not get rotten. For a car, let's say it is a year. Yes, a car fucntions perfectly even if it does not get sold within the model year, but the value goes down significantly (generally speaking) and it is not difficult to imagine dealers try to get rid of them before getting rid of new model year's inventory. It is also a fact that if everything else is exactly the same (hypothetically speaking) a higher model year car gets higher resale value than a lower model year car. Inventory, as definition, is a current asset. What it means is if it is not moving, it is not allowed to be classified as current asset. You need to put a reserve. Plus, all kinds of inventory cost gets incurred (insurance, maintenance, tax, etc), hello, are you really even a sales manager? Oh, and you probably should look around the market and what other dealers are doing to stay competitive (talking about the worst store in town). Just by doing a basic search on autotrader (2008 new) I can find quite a few low $27K's and $26K's (just as advertised, meaning, you can negotiate further down). You do not have to worry about my credit or history of con'ned by dealers. I have never had a car payment and I have not been to your dealership.

 

One more thing. The 07 another local dealer is so desparate to sell for an unbelievable price happens to be one of the colors you mentioned. I give that to you. But, I did not have a chance to negotiate other colors such as black, white or silver, I have no other way to know better. Let's just say, the price advertised on newspaper was under $25K and we went WAY down from the starting point. Again, since I am not a car business expert I do not know the specifics such, and I am making comments based on FACTs.

 

damm lol

Im going to talk to the guy on saturday about it some more and bring my car so he can give me an estimate on trade in value.

Luckily for me the last base 07 model they have is a daytona blue...so this is a good thing right?? I want to get the car for just under 25K, if i can ill buy it, however i want to see what they'll give me for trade in value
