Official Canadian Pricing Thread
 

Greetings all,

I know I'm new to this forum but I thought I'd start a thread so that us Canucks can list the prices we are getting quoted from dealerships. This way we can see the trends on how agressive dealers are being on pricing. There is another thread in the "Pricing" forum but those are just speculative. I'm looking for actual deals that were negotiated at a dealership.

Take care,

Gordon

Has anyone heard from any of the Canadian dealers yet? I'm assuming we should start hearing once the car hits the Montreal show....

Ya when I take my G in for the HFC and exhaust install I am going to see what the deal is. We should know something.

What HFC and exhaust did you finially settle on?
How much is your install going to cost?
Will the HFC's cause a "check engine light"?

Went with Fast Intentions HFC's and Exhaust. I got the install for free from the dealer it was a negotiating point in the buy.


NOw As for the CEL light.


On my 08 I had Berks and got a cel on the driver side bank.
NOw there are non-foulers out there and they work some of the time. As well some guys have not had an issue at all with CEL's

I will tell you Fast Intentions (Tony) is working on a sure cure that willl fix all HFC related CEL but he is not done yet and asked me to say no more. I will not post his website up here as he is not a sponsor here yet. But google is your friend. I have heard this exhaust on the 350Z in person and it kicks a$$. I whent with the non- polished stainless stell with Carbon fiber exhaust. Total cost shipped to alberta was 2100 CAD.


If you want shot me a PM with your number. A few other G owners and I are getting tiogether at Hudsons after my instlll for some beers and a listen to the new exhaust.



My HFC on the 08 cost 200 for ther install and they are a PITA to get at I would think the same would hold true for the Z as well

someone on here already gave a deposit......ummm....what was his name...lol

anyways...he should chime in soon

I know you have heard the exhaust before because it was my 350Z roadster that had it installed. Figure out who I am yet? :rofl2:

If your interested, I do have a solution for the dreaded catalytic converter CEL

I'm really curious on which place is doing the install for free ...PM me

I installed my own Fast Intention HFC's and I found it to be painless with long 1/2" drive extensions and a long torque wrench. Once the nuts/bolts were loosened, it was impact wrench the rest of the way. The hardest part was the reinstall and keeping the ring gasket centered. Help from a friend made the reinstall easier.

I called the local Nissan dealership to see if there was any info since the Montreal Show is in less than two weeks. Just the usual dealership BS including Nissan won't be selling the 370Z until they get rid of their 350Z stock and a bunch of other sales person BS....

If you get the 370Z you might be able to keep up with me on the highway.:icon17:

LOL ...... let me see G37 VS a heavy assed roadster with a 3.5 HR. I was amazed I caught you at all. You must have slowed down to wait for me? :owned:

I did talk to a local dealership here in Edmonton, and he was willing to allow me to place a deposit for $3000 over MSRP. :rofl2:

The sales person wasn't impressed with my answer. I offered to place a deposit at $100 over invoice and after we both stopped laughing, we agreed that perhaps we both should wait.

Expect the prices to be on line by the end of January.

I wonder if that salesman would have taken you seriously if you said something like $1500 above invoice for a cash purchase.

lol no radar decetor here I had to slow down lol

Unfortunatly (or not???) our economy isn't as cruddy as it is in Ontario, etc so I think the dealerships will try and get above MSRP. They can go get stuffed as far as I'm concerned. I'll just take my money elsewhere.... I have to wait till I'm done building my other house and see where I end up finacially and get the renters in my rental units so I'm probably not going to be able to buy until April/May... I'll be forced to wait till the dust settles :|

Probably could have but why show your hand early in the negotiation game? I'd rather wait till some inventory is in the dealers lot and see how close of a price to invoice, I can get.

I've been looking at 350Zs for a while before I found out the 370Z was coming out. Nothing is selling even here where ppl have $$ no one is buying. I took a look at this car - excellent condition (lots of miles though) at a decent price here in Canada and its been for sale since July....

2003 Nissan 350z Touring Edition. MUST SELL!! West Shore: Langford,Colwood,Metchosin,Highlands, Victoria

So the dealers know nothing is moving the winter is slow anywhere for sports cars - even here in Victoria where it was around 12 C yesterday. So why do they think they can get over MSRP?

Sooo.... the 370Z will be making its debut here in Canada tomorrow.... hopefully we'll get our pricing and availability....

Starting at $39,998! Great price.

Good job Eezee :tup:

looks like it will be better to buy the Z in the states and bring it into canada.

Why? It's not $40,000. It's only $39,998 :icon17:

well what is the cost of a Z in the states the dollar is only 19% less so we need to do the math.

$29,999 USD ≒ $37,327.64 CAD now.. at 1:20 Jan. 16.
prolly there would be missing parts or accessories too..:shakes head:

Nice find Eezzee - that's bang on what I figured (and hoped) pricing would be - basically on par with the Altima. Glad Nissan gave their head a shake and moved away from the $50K 350Z.... people were driving their cars off the lot and basically taking a $20K hit because the US cars were almost 20K cheaper (base line vs GT though... still no where near a justafiable 20K difference)


After our dollar took a 4 cent dive we're at 37K and with the import tax I don't think its gonna be worth it. I don't get the value of the dollar - the economy is pretty strong out here in the West and Canada has huge resources. They say our dollar is heavily influenced by the price of oil so I don't get why gas went up by 15 cents/liter and the dollar went down four cents.... Good for exports I guess....

I'd also like to know availability and what features we're getting that are different. Last I heard we were getting leather seats standard....

Well, we don't know what are the equipment differences between US and Canada, but with current exchange rate, it's not worth it.

My formula for total cost of bringing a US car over goes something like this:
[US$ price * exchange rate * 1.061 (this is 6.1% duty)] + $1000 (estimated import expenses)

Where "import expenses" = $205 (RIV fee) + $300 (estimate for enabling daytime running lights at a dealership) + $500 (travel expenses: airfare to pick up the car and gas+food expenses to drive it back).

So, with current (Jan 16, 2009) exchange rate numbers, the landed cost of a base US-spec 2009 370Z is:
[30,625 * 1.24 * 1.061] + $1000 = $40,292 + $1000 = CAD$41,292

Equivalent Canadian price would be: CAD$39,998 + destination charge of $1,375 (using current 350Z's number) = CAD$41,373

Note: US$ price includes MSRP of US$29,930 and destination charge of US$695 because you have to declare the total value in US$ at the border.

FYI, I bought my 2006 350Z in New Jersey, so I'm pulling these numbers from my experience.

Again, we'll need to wait to hear trim level differences, but if the equipment is the same, it's not worth it at all. Also, chances are we will get at least the same equipment as base US-spec 370Z making Canadian pricing right on the money.

I agree 100%

+ the PITA factor
+ any metric differences, speedo etc.
+ warranty

We're getting the touring only, so definetely cheaper in Canada.

That would be great news!!
Is this dealer info? Do you have any source?

Thanks.

Cheaper in Canada - thats a (pleasant) first :)

Both the globe and Toronto Star articles stated this and also that is what they did the previous years..but I guess we'll have to wait and see to be certain.

$40000! Yesssssss!!!!
No financing for me!!

"The U.S. offers a base cloth upholstery option, but the vastly (if inexplicably) more popular leather has been made standard in Canada."

"Pricing has yet to be announced, but it is expected to start around $40,000. That's a lot less than the current base price for the 350Z of about $49,000, because most of the content in the optional Sport package used to be standard."

"Only one model, called "Touring," will be offered at launch. It will have two options: a Sport package with aerodynamic body kit, 19-inch wheels and Bridgestone Potenza tires and a trick new transmission. The second option is a NAVI package with hard disc-based satellite navigation iPod interface and Nissan's 9.3 gig Music Box digital music storage system."

The dude was spot on.
GJ wheels.ca


btw
"trick new transmission" = SynchroRev Match

btw Russel Oliver is HALARIOUS and everyone go out and buy Fallout 3 FOR PC! (and then play it in your 370Z off the NAV screen that has a composite input!)

Excellent! Thank you.

If Canadian-spec car arrives in US-equivalent Touring trim, Americans will be importing them from Canada. :)
Seriously, US Touring model is US$3,530 more than base, so if we get all that equipment for our base price of $39,998, Nissan would go a long way to please its new customers.

So, let's speculate on the price of the Sport Package. It's US$3000 south of the border, so up here it should arrive around CAD$3,483. I just used 16% higher price since that is the difference between US Touring and our base.

That would put Canadian Touring with Sport Package at $43,481.

Let's see what happens. I can't be much longer before we get official scoop. :)

Did the 370Z even show up to the Montreal show and if anyone saw it was it a Canadian version?

Another mention of models for Canada:

Source::http://www.auto123.com/en/nissan/370...3&artid=103500

starting at $39 998 is the word on the streets from the Montreal Auto Show

Did you go to the show? Any word on equipment/trim/options?

Did see the 370Z last Sunday at the Mtl Auto Show. It was a red one with the Sport package (19" Rays, rear spoiler, etc) but no Nav. The MSRP listed came up to something like 45K or so if I recall correctly and I believe that included a 1K for PDI. Which means the Sport package would be around 4K. The car was locked and Nissan staff at the show did not know more than what's circulating on the Net w/r to the Canadian version. They mentioned Spring/Summer availability.

I did like the 370 from what I saw on the Net so far and I still like it after seeing it in person even though red is not my color. It will make a nice replacement for my 350 in the Spring.
