how much will it cost to purchase a new 350z track (or touring) edition these days?
i currently have a maxima, and i know that at least for maximas, you will never pay full msrp (bought mine for several thousand below invoice)... is this the same case for the z's??? thanks.

i'm new to the forum and this is my first post so be gentle.

Always work invoice up not MSRP down. Leftover 06's can be had for below invoice!

 

so what is a feasible offer i can make when i walk into the dealership? and i'm reading that the newer models have a different engine? what's the deal with that?

sidenote: i see that you're from korea........ i'm korean as well........

 

I'm stationed here as a GI! Do a lot of reading. Try kbb.com to get invoice pricing.

A few things to remember

1. Do not talk about payments, talk about the price of the car not payments!

2. Go in pre-approved from your bank.

3. Do not trade in a vehicle

4. Haggle Haggle Haggle

 

no trade in? i was thinking about trading in my maxima..... i have a few (a lot of?) mods on there, and i would rather not have to deal with selling it private party..... rather just trade it in for a reasonable offer.......

 

You will get raped by the dealer, they give nothing for the trade and mods!

 

Gwinnett Place Nissan.

Art Marbury. You can cut through the BS much faster, and get the deal you want. They are a huge volume dealer, and have the ability to make better deals as a result.

 

Gwinnett Place Nissan... Talk to Scott Kid he is the manager and just print KBB invoice and show him. He will match it and off you go. No bs with the sales team......Mention CJ or Niel from Florida and he should be able to match the KBB invoice price out the door.

 

i'm hearing you can get 350's below invoice now... is this not true?

 

I purchased my z from gwinnett place last week.
I ended up buying one at a reasonable price (about a grand above invoice for drive out) ***I could negotiate more, but I had to save my friend's face )

Here's what I did
1.Go to edmunds and find the invoice price from there.
If you are looking for coupe, they have limited selections at this point.
From that invoice price, add destination charge, dealer fees(about $650).
2.Go to Associated Credit Union in Norcross. I got 4.9%
3.When you go in, tell them you are not sure of buying Z. Say you are considering S2000 or similar models.
4.From the invoice price you got, determine how much you are willing to pay.
Deal on invoice+destination+fees
Don't tell them you got pre-approved --> keep them thinking they can make up on finance.
Don't get stuck on dealer fees -->they will make up on other price.
Don't believe the invoice they're gonna show you as it includes costs for accessories and etc.
5.Don't be afraid to walk out. When get up from that chair, salesman's gonna go talk to manager. This will be iterative process. They stopped me when I tried to drive out.
6.Once you get agreeable price, you will go talk to the finance manager.
Show him your pre-approved loan and
Don't buy any extended warranty and etc.

BTW, when you go to the dealer, find Luke.
He doesn't speak good English but he's really soft. It will be easier for you to negotiate until the desk manager come up.

Good luck and if you have any more question, let me know.
I'll be glad to help you out.

 

thanks for the tip on associated credit union... i originally planned on going with capital one (8.2%) and i thought that was a pretty good rate for buying a used car from a non-dealer (private partY)..... but i checked ACU, and they gave me a 4.9 for used car! that's ridiculous.... that will save me quite a bit of money in the end.
