New 2014 Nismo. Read and LEARN

[InnerDragon10]

I bought a new 2014 Nismo with Bose system and Nismo floor mats.

Grand total: $43,673.51 (EVERYTHING: tax tag title fees)
MSRP: approx $45,500
Invoice price: $41,536.00
Final offered price (before tax, tag, title, fees): $40,975.00. Below invoice!


Add ons (int./ext. protection including a 7 year paint warranty offered by the dealer):
$999.00 (unfortunately was not an option, already applied to upholstery and exterior paint. it's actually a great deal since where I work I'm prone to paint damage from the environment and can have it restored any time in the next 7 years)

My trade in (2005 Mazda RX8 with 135K miles)
Was offered $1200 (uh low-ball anyone?!)
I showed them my Edmunds.com "true market value" printout from their website which considered mileage and valued it at $2500. I also went to Carmax the day before and got an appraisal value of $2000.
Was then offered $2250 and took it.

-Sales tax in FL 6% so $2514.41
-Transferred my plate to the new car for $83.60
-Dropped $15K for down payment (and did not tell what amount until I sat down with the financial manager; IMPORTANT)
-Used my credit union to finance which offered me 1.74% @ 60 mos. (AWESOME SAUCE, my credit score is 800+)

-Final financed amount for my new toy: $27673.51

Will follow up later with a description of how the interaction with salesman went.
