Default Western Canadian dealerships contacted; their replies...

I emailed most of the dealerships in the big western Canadian cities (Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver) with a request for pricing. I am 100% serious about buying the car I was talking about, and I'm not tugging their chain. I will post the email I sent them, as well as their responses to me, and you all can judge their customer service, and willingness to deal.

Greetings,

I am interested in purchasing a 370Z within the next month, depending entirely on the price and dealer-buyer relationship that can be established. I am familiar with the reasons that will be thrown at me to keep the car at MRSP, such as:
  • New model
  • High Demand
  • Limited Quantities


In which I could respond with :
  • Economy on the downturn
  • Unemployment is up, job security is down
  • People are more inclined to hold onto their money in uncertain times

So let's cut through the B.S. and work on a deal!

I am interested in financing the following:

370Z 6MT
Hakone White
Sports Package
Navigation Package

(No trade-in, approx 5-10k down, 48mo)

I am aware of this:

M6 Transmission
Base 370z MSRP: $39998
Base 370z Invoice: $36682

Navigation MSRP: $2500
Navigation Invoice: $2292

Sport Pkg MSRP: $4000
Sport Pkg Invoice: $3667



Nissan's 5.9% financing rate is also very displeasing considering the state of the economy.

This big question is this: What is your dealership prepared to do to earn my business? (Price reduction? Better financing rate?) I will mention that I am a member of a Z-Enthusiasts group (several online forums) in which I will be reporting back my experiences in dealing with the various dealerships I contact. This is an opportunity for your dealership to stand out above the others and offer an incentive for other buyers to go through you. I, as well as others in this group are willing to travel to obtain the best deal.

Awaiting your superior customer service!
