I just bought a black Z from Avenue nissan - paid about $1,400 over invoice. Invoice price is $41,083 before freight/PDI. I negotiated with several dealers including downtown, avenue, sherway. Downtown and Avenue prices were in line, but only avenue could find me a black within a week.

If your willing to make the drive to Barrie apporox. 1 hour. I can assure you will be treated well. I am a sales person there and we have a number of new and used 350Zs.

My name is Chris Caldwell,
www.barrienissan.com for directions.

the pricing I provided was for a performance - assume the touring would be the same and the track a little more. The previous poster from Barrie should be able to confirm these numbers

I was just up in Vancouver and Whistler for the last two weeks (yes, I celebrated Canada Day at Canada Place), I only saw 2 or 3 Zs, I did see quite a few G35's however. Is Nissan not as popular up there. I saw a million Mazdas running around.

There are actually LOTS of Zs in Vancouver, you've gotta go to Richmond to see them all! There can be 5 Zs in the same square there!

I stayed right by Landsdowne Mall and didn't see a whole lot of Zs. Maybe 2 or 3. I also walked a few times down to Richmond Centre and didn't see them. Maybe they have been banned from No. 3 Road.

JKM is right we have performance models and covertables. All 6 Spds. We still have a good amount of 350Zs. Steve Yaerman's Z sold today.

Ouch! A quote like that'd have me taking a trip over the border.

We get cheap prescription meds from you guys; you get cheap Zs from us. Ain't capitalism grand!

yea. i would love to get the american enthusiast model but due to restrictions with day time running lights and the import tax that would be charged it wouldn't be worth it. (i assume so)

be sure to check out Willowdale Nissan Infiniti at Yonge and Steeles. I paid $1100.00 under msrp for a 2004 performance last August. So far they've treated me very well.

Good luck

The Canadian models are different that the US models. We don't have the base, enthousiast, or performance. Our only available models are the same as the US Touring and track. Our version of the touring with a M6 is called the Performance. Our touring is the same model but with A5. We also have the track model. In addition you have to divide our price by 1.35 so the C$41K for a US equivalent touring is US$30K
