Default Looking to order 2007 Z (dealer recommended)?

Sorry if this has been asked before. I want to order a 2007 Z Enthusiast and
I'm looking for dealer recommendations (with a good sales department) in the Seattle area. Does anyone have a dealer they think I should talk to?
Thanks!!

Wherever you go, don't go to Nissan of the Eastside Bellevue. They tried to rip me off multiple times when I was shopping for Z's.

Go to Costco and buy from Nissan in Fife, my friend just ordered his 07 Z for $100 over invoice through the Costco buying program.

There are a couple bad things about going through Costco. Costco is a middleman and takes a percentage. I think you could get part of that percentage for yourself by openly negotiating with the dealer about it first before Costco gets involved. Use the Costco angle to cut to the chase. Also if ordering, who do you think is most likely to get bumped or who will get special attention?
Nissan of Fife sells a lot of Zs so it's possible they could get your car sooner than others IF it is already built. I haven't heard anything bad about them and shopped there myself. I don't know about their follow-up service which to me is very, very important.
From this site and my experience you should be able to get what you want within a few hundred dollars of invoice if you are willing to be patient and appear so. I scouted every dealer within a 30 mile radius and got mine from Advantage Nissan in Bremerton and can't say enough about the great treatment I got and get from the very knowledgable(a rarity by the way) sales girl Hanna. They also do expert, major mods right there if needed. Good luck.

We had a bad experience trying to buy through the Costco program. There was only one salesman qualified to offer the Costco rate and he was not available. The other guys refused to even tell us the Costco price at all and tried to sell us a lease. In the end we got a good deal but still paid a few hundred more than the Costco price would have been. The Costco price can be good but the dealerships try to steer you away from it.

For a different car I had a pretty good experience at Eastside Nissan, but while shopping we had kind of an unpleasant experience at Auburn Nissan.

Ive talked to quite a few guys from advantage nissan. They are all pretty nice, down to earth guys :-)

I would recommend it. Almost bought a 04 there earlier this year.

i went through costco, got the car last friday for 100 over invoice, i don't really care if they take a percentage from the dealer, i didn't have to pay them anything, and it sure beats sitting there for an hour or more trying to cut through all the bs the sales man is trying to though out at u. its not like u go to costco to buy the car, u just get their dealer list, go to the dealer, and tell them ur buying through the costco program, and they'll show u the costco price list for all of their cars. the only thing i had to do for costco is a survey after i bought the car, and i think that was optional (got it in my email)

as for advantage nissan, they tried to tell me that nobody would sell me an 07 z for less than 30k, i saved $1700 at nissan of fife

so there is abosolutly no problem getting a car through costco

if u don't want to have anything to do with costco, talk to steve perovich at nissan of fife and tell him slavik sent u, he'll prolly give u the same deal he gave me

And if you go to Eastside Nissan , Just bought an 06 Titan from them, they hooked me up well. Ask for Seth, he is one of the coolest salesmen I have worked with, he'll let you demo whatever you want

Dude that guy tried to rip me off on a 2004 PPW AUTOMATIC, claiming that it would outrun manuals. He also tried to sell me that same car for $27,000 when it was listed as $25,000 on their website.

He then tried to sell me Nismo CAI and Exhaust for a ridiculous price after I went to there for some maintanence stuff and was just looking around.

LOL that sux, Seth has always been cool to us, he even hooked us up with some freebies. They threw in a fiberglass tonneau cover for our Titan for cost which was nice :P

Seth likes VW's so I guess he is'nt the best guy to be selling Nissan's
