I gotta bead on a 2010 with 10500 miles on it at a dealership. KBB lists it at 37k, but they've got up for 34.9. Should I haggle with them and expect to get it lower or does this seem like an honest price and just figure they won't budge? I'll have the wife haggle with them regardless, (I'm still A'stan, so she'll have to do the purchasing). I'm coming home soon and this is my gift to myself. I'm just wondering if anyone else has gotten one for less?

Dealerships will always get their cars at invoice. I would go a bit lower considering it's a 2010. The 13's have an oil cooler standard so you won't run into any possible oil temp issues driving. Thanks for serving our country and happy memorial day!

I think 32k is totally fair, albeit + tax only.

Start at 30k and act totally disinterested.

35k is super rich.

Thanks Kcee, out here we remember our fallen, but for the most part its another day at work.

I believe my wife is on her way to the dealership to look at it. I'll send her a message to offer 30, and see if we can get it for 32k + tax as mentioned. That would make an awesome price and definitely a nice gift for myself when I come home in a few months.

Make sure she keeps it short and sweet.

Tell her to walk out after the first 20-30 min of bs.

Nukizor, even if you weren’t out of the country, sending your wife in to negotiate is smart. Dealers need to work hard to get any margin at all on something like a Murano or an Altima. There is any number of similar vehicles out there in the same price range with the same features. There are very few true sports cars with the 370Z's features in its price ballpark.

People buy sports cars because they really, really want them. Any seller can see the lust in your eye even if you have a great poker face. Your wife can walk n with a scowl on her face and declare that “my husband wants a stupid sports car and I’m against it”. “Please quote me a high price so I can stomp out of here”. The poor hapless salesman has lost all the usual advantage he holds in selling a Z for a premium price. The more she says things like “WTF where are the back seats” the more the guy will have to sharpen his pencil to make the sale. I’m betting your wife is smart enough to effectively ‘play dumb’ if necessary.

Way too much!

28-30k

The numbering isn't special on those Nismos. I would seriously talk you into Nismo 350Z. There is a couple on here which I'm sure you seen. I can rant on and on....


Either way lowball

wait a few weeks and place an order for a '13 370z.. it won't have the ghey fangs and you'll save yourself from buying the dissapointing nismo 370z

Looks like theyre refusing to budge.

Singh, I doubt I'd be disappointed. My last one was an 04, so I'd bed this one would suit me fine. Besides, every review I've read of the 2010 Nismo was rather glowing. Feel free to share with me a different opinion.

i'm talking specifically about the nismo 370z

I remember reading negative reviews about it being hardly any faster than a regular 370z.. but hard to blame Nissan though b/c it is hard to improve on an already great sports car like the 370z

Tell them you lookin at the 5.0 Mustang or the Nismo. Seeing which you can get better deal on is what you'll buy. Give them something to fight for, not just you dead set on a Nismo and they can play you out.

Also I'm assuming the Nismo is used since you stated it had 10k miles already. Dealers won't sell the car at a loss, so it all depends how much they acquired the vehicle for. If someone traded it in for 29k, the dealer won't go below 29k+cost to make it sell-able / look new. I think last time I looked at an 09 Nismo for fun, they were listed at like 32k with ~ 24k miles (2011 summer, checked out 09 Nismo) and that was their sticker price.

I've seen a few trade at $31-32k, increase your geographic
Area and wait till winter. The cars should lose 5% gross value
By then consider the used market is more overheated than
A 335i after a 1/4 mile run
