Can't you get a better price?!?!?! It's almost a 2 year old car. That's what you can pay for a new car (+ taxes of course), which you probably gonna have to pay also. Do yourself a favor and research a little bit. It will save you bunch of money if you care of course.

They offer me a good deal ( I think): $23500, plus my old 93' 240 sx and $1500 cash.

what do you think?

Oh that's much better . 23,500 - 1,500 = 22,000. I am sure you could get more money for you old car if you sold it yourself, which would bring the price down even more. I hope the car has no problems. Bunch of people on the forum had something with '03 wrong, small and big. In any case - good luck and enjoy the car.

For comparison, last week I picked up a NEW 2003 350Z Performance chrome silver with 40 miles and $1500 of extras:

Floor Mats
Trunk Mat
Side Curtain Airbags
Side Impact Airbags
And something else.. I forget

The MSRP was $31,989 and I got it for $26750.

I got a great trade in and b/c it was through a dealer, I got 3.9% APR.

I've been looking to sell a 2003 CS performance. Had it listed at autotrader, but they took it off for some reason. The car is in great condition with 6500 miles. Hopefully, I could match the price of what this guys is offering . E-mail me at Reb1281@hotmail.com if you'd like some pictures.

It's not a bad price, but not a great one, considering your trade-in...

I'm quite sure you can find a NEW performance for 25-26K.
The trick is don't limit yourself to local dealership. You are not buying cars every day. Take your *** of the coach. Go to nissan's website and search inventory around the country. Big cities - Chicago, Boston, NY perhaps. Call and ask for their best price. Mention that you are ready to fly from FL if the price is right. Driving from far is an advantage since you'll do a break-in in one day!

My friend brought a Z from Chicago for a lot under MSRP.
Ask roydiculous's dealer phone and talk to him.

I was going to get a Redline 350Z Enthusiast at the same dealership, but a fellow 350Z member snatched it up the day before I was scheduled to go in and buy it!

He told me MSRP was $29,000 or something like that

He got it for $24,500 - NEW.

That's an amazing price.

He got about $4500 off MSRP and I got approximately $5250.

Just ask yourself if the extra couple of grand (keeping in mind better interest rates on new cars vs. old - and ony changes your monthly payment by like $20 a month) is enough to overcome getting a new car, documenting your own maintenance and service, doing what you want for breakin, and having a "virgin".

Good Luck!

The MSRP on my car was $32,000
The Invoice on my car was about $29500 - this is what the dealer paid, minus kickbacks, etc etc

I got it for $26750 - $2750 under invoice. I perceive this as a good value considering people in my area were paying INVOICE - yes $32,000 for the same car just 10 months ago.

Just my two cents. I know I could have probably got a used 2003 for $24,000 but in my opinion it wasn't worth it. This is my first new car purchase and I plan on keeping it

(You meant, others were paying MSRP.) Anyway, sounds like you got a great deal!

Yeah, that's Chrome Silver. Look how closely the handles and rims match with the paint.
