Default If you're buying an 2004 Z...

Hey guys, I am just wondering what type of deals are people getting for their 2004 Z's? I ordered mine.. should bome around august or september and I am getting it for around 39k out the door a touring SB/burnt orange fully loaded with nav. Anyone else getting a better price? I am using this information so i could maybe negotiate with my dealer for a better price. thanks guys!

MSRP man, you can try to get under, but I wouldnt expect too much there, but if your over MSRP your overpaying. Im not sure if your number is MSRP, could be depending on your taxes and what not. just make sure you dont pay markups.

Ordered my '04 touring fully loaded including NAV for $34,500....with taxes and charges came to a little over $37,000.
I went to about 10 different dealerships to get this price. If you are willing to do the leg work you do not have to settle for paying MSRP.....or above it which is insane.

I cant speak for the 2004 models, but I got a 2003 Touring 6 speed with all options including Nav for roughly 39 out the door. The MSRP with options came out to be $37251 and then you had to tack on taxes and licensing fees, so I figured I got mine for close to 1000 under MSRP with the options. Seems like your not getting a bad deal considering your car with options runs over $37 grand without taxes and licensing fees. Also, since you are getting a 2004 model, it aint a bad deal at all. Now if you were paying $39K for a lower model like performance or enthusiast, then you would be getting ripped off. But for the Touring 6SPD with all options you seem to be getting a fair price. No matter what anyone says though, do the leg work, call around, go see different dealers (fleet/internet depts. only) and call some brokers to see what the best price is they can get you. But this all takes some time, so just be patient.

Default do your homework!

Do your homework! I got mine for $ 2k under MSRP! I could give all of you the dealer with this great offer if you msg me!

BTW, I'm in South Florida (Miami to be exact)

But if you do your HW, you shouldn't have to pay more than 2K under MSRP anywhere at this point!

Good luck anyways!

How are you able to swing $700 BELOW invoice for an 04 enthusiast? From my rough calculation, you've almost eaten into all of the dealer holdback $.

Who cares if you save a grand or not!!! To most people financing the car, that means a measily $18/month!!! It's not worth the hassle. It never amazes me the ammount of time and energy people waste to save so little. If you make any kind of money, you are much better off using that time to make more money.

I make enough $, but I don't like to pay too much to greedy dealers. If it means nothing to you, feel free to send me $1000 or $18/month. $1000 can buy me a lot of games, an alarm + clear bra w/money to spare, a decent receiver or more than 3 spare bulbs for my projector.

FYI, here in Kentucky, I have visited dealers looking at their 2003 Touring Zs. Their offer to me for a fully loaded Touring model (minus the Nav. system) has been $32,000 plus tax (about $1900). Note I said "offer," I think you could get $500 to $1000 less.

I just note this for some perspective.

Good luck.
