Hi,

New to the board. I love it. I'm in the market for a Z. I got a quote and I wanted to run it by you guys. Let me know if this is a good deal or not.

2004
350Z Touring
Black/Black
Nav.
Automatic
XM Radio
aero package

I live in Chicago, and the lowest quote I got was $33,200

Thanks.

MSRP is $35,170 and Invoice Price is $32,317

$33,200 is to high. I'd pay $32,200 A lot of people on the forum have bought their Z for invoice and some below.

 

For a 2004? I paid MSRP for mine and I think you're going to have a hard time finding anything close to that price this time of year. $33,200.00 seems very reasonable.

By the way, this isn't "Believer in HIT" from another board is it?

 

Wow, I thought $33,200 with nav was a great deal. Good thing I checked with you guys first.

Nope, this is not Believer in HIT......However I am a believer in

you better jump on it.....i wouldnt put to much into what oscarmeyey said........NOBODY is buying under invoice....you could probobly get another 300 from the dealer but that is it

take the deal...it is a very fair deal

 

Yes people are buying at and under invoice. Just look on ebay motors and do a search on VPP (Vehicle Purchase Program)

When buying a car, the asking price is what's referred to as "stupid price." You're not expected to pay that. Know that the salesman has latitude, and he expects to be asked about a lower price.

Do your homework, they want to sell cars.

 

hahaha, stick to roasting weenies before you give out car buying advice to the likes. You're preaching to the choir.

I bet 1% of this forum bought under invoice here, and that was because of a family member being in the car business.

I'm sure I could have haggled MSRP down a couple of hundred, but mine had the exact options and color I wanted. I'm also willing to bet 30-40% of folks on this board paid MSRP for an 2004.

 

i paid msrp on my 04 too.. i consider that price a very good deal for a Z. go for it

 

JFritz you are right I'm the Hotdog, that 1% that bought under invoice and you are the weiner.

 

oscar you are the true weiner
ebay?thats funny..i havent seen any new cars selling under invioce on there i see alot of low numbers with a reserve not met ...on there
do you even know what vpp is buddy?i seriously doubt it....i do since i actually sell the cars....
ill tell you what you tell me what vpp is and how it works and if you are halfway correct ill not say anymore....
but i know you cant do that......
no new zcars are selling at under invioce as a matter of fact 70 percent of them are at or very close to msrp
thats why the residual is so high on them

 

Melissa, read the book "You Can Negotiate Anything" by Herb Cohen. It's an empowering work that I would highly recommend.

Yep I know what the VPP is, if you need info on the program call 1-800-299-4753

You said no new zcars are selling at under invioce, check out this post. Are you calling them liars?

I don't work for Nissan, but I managed to get my VPP discount through a friend of mine who does work for them. Here's the process:

1. Call up friend, ask him for VPP number.
2. Friend fills out online form with Nissan, leaving his name, employee number, and other information, as well as my name, address, and phone number (the person who will be using the VPP number).
3. Once all this information is entered, my friend gets assigned a VPP number right away. He calls me and tells me what it is.
4. I pick up a business card from my friend.
5. Go to dealership, tell the fleet manager you want to buy a car under VPP. Give them the number and business card.

That's it. I didn't need a co-signature and my friend did not need to be present. Nissan already had my friend's name and identifying information on file in their VPP database after he entered it online.

 

that books means what?gtf outta here with that crap.....
you didnt negotiate your car deal ...you walked in and had handed to you what nissan employees get...wow you did real good...and you wanna throw in there all these negotiating tips to make you look good.....so you got your cat about 200 dollars under invoice.....see the car only falls under d plan right now.....
you are the exact kind of idiot my dealership looks for when they sell a car.....i gaurentee i could gross 4 grand from you with your negotiating from books education...
as long as you dont have a vpp hook up....and ill still gross 2k even with it....

buddy you dont know how to buy cars....you have friends that hook you up....

still didnt tell me how vpp works ....just told me what the consumer does.....
you dont know cars and you showed just how much of an idiot you are with the you can negotiate anything book......how about negotiating ***** in your throat

 

Didn't mean to start an arguement. Just wanted some advice if the deal was good or not. Since this car has everyting I want in color, nav, xm..etc, I will buy it. I'll keep you guys posted and thanks for your comments

HIT don't worry just stay away from a sales person like that. The bottom line is if Nissan sells cars to friends and family under invoice and makes money they should sell you a car near the invoice price. You are real close at $33,200 Make and offer and see what they do, you can see what type of people you are up against. Good luck.

 

i can't believe no one made any jokes about the "gooc price" subject. hehe...

I'm glad you got the car. It can really get stressful trying to get a "good deal". Welcome to the club. You're gonna love it!

 

After reading thru this post, it reminded me of a film found under Fanta Shokata....

All for good launghs.

actually the sales manager and not the salesman....
see if you knew how vpp worked you would know the dealership is reimbursed from nissan for taking the loss on the car....the dealership actually makes money doing vpp....thats why i asked if you knew how it worked.....

which you didnt....

i can break down the whole vpp plan for you expaining its advantages to the consumer and the dealership and where the discount comes from and how you get x% off and then charged back x% and what it all works out to be...

you cant make money selling cars under invoice to someone that isnt vpp

as ive stated in another post ill sell any coupe 500 over invioce and any roadster 1000 over invoice all day long (if i have it in stock)
i discount more than any other dealership i know of on the zcar....

im not an ******* but i cant stand for someone that doesnt know alot about how the car bussiness works to say things they "believe to be true"

hit if you have any questions pm me ill give you all the assistance you need to help your experiance easy and let you know what kind of deal your actually getting.... i think you have 200 to 300 more you can get from them just like i said in an earlier post

 

Buy it.

There is always at least one numnuts that will say you can do better. If you said the dealer was giving you the car & paying the license fee, at least one person would respond that they had received a free car AND the dealer threw in a years supply of gas!! LOL!

 

I paid $2,500 under MSRP for an 2004 Track.

Nothing, I'm also in Chicago. Which dealership did you get it from and the salesman name?

Thanks bud
