Default Is my offer too much of a low ball?

My local Nissan dealer has a red base '08 350z in the show room floor asking 25.5k...I will go in to offer 21k for it. Is that too much low balling?

$21k is really low-balling it.

Considering the car is an '08 new (floor model but still new).

If anything try to negotiate $25k OTD?

I think you should be out the door at $21k + ttt,
so roughly 23,750 otd... that's a crazy DEAL if you
can land it. glglgl

That's not a crazy deal. That's a decent deal. USAA non-negotiation price is 22k. I would pay more than $23500 OTD for a base model.

^ Considering all details... that is a pretty solid deal. I am
not sure what a non-negotiation price is exactly. Does this
incl. TTT? I am an ebay psycho, and frankly the vehicles
just don't come in quite this low (w sim mileage) once you've
paid Uncle Samuel.

Even Savv seems to think I am on target for CRAzY Town

If you ask nicely they might give it to you for free. You never know.

I'm going to low ball the dealership anyways because they got like 10 350z on the lot that is not moving at all. Plus the salesman said that they are getting a few 370z's arriving early in Feb. I know they are dying to get rid of their 350's.

You should try, the dealership here is trying hard to get rid of an 08 for around that much.
