Well, it's been only 5 days since the car went on sale and only few dealers in the US have the 370Z. My local dealers aren't even bringing the new Z until March/April because they want to sell their 350Zs. Things will slowly go into your favor but right now, dealer can do/say whatever they want because everybody is excited to see the car. They want to test drive it, feel for it, take pictures etc. Someone told me that they had over 8 test drives in one day on a single 370Z. So, also be careful buying demo 370Zs. Give it a few weeks and things will get better.

Yep, $43K and some change. I put $6,500 down and my payment was $645 ouch.
but that is at Nissans crappy 7.5% rate. I talked to my credit union and I'm going to go through them at 5.25%, take a check to Nissan and pay them off, that should bring my payment to about $595

So I'm glad to hear that you were able to get them back to this planet. So congrats! That was my favorite color combo, platinum/orange but I have to admit the blue sure looked hot as well.

All I have at the moment are these crappy cell phone pics taken the day after I purchased it. it was early morning 6am and there is a lot of dew on the car, I plan on doing some better shots this weekend. :-) I just had the windows tinted today, so I'll get some new ones with that, 3M film, medium in front and dark in the back.

Yeah, it was a tough sell, I walked out twice. The second time I acted like I was talking on my cell phone hoping the salesman would come out, and he did It was late at that point, about 10pm, so I think they were tired.
At that point they were down to about $700 over MSRP and he asked whats it going to take to sell you the car. I responded with sell it at MSRP and you got a deal, if you come back with .01 cent over, I'm out of here.
So he came back and said lets do it.

I've found that getting there just before the dealer closes can sometimes be advantages.

One time when I was negotiating on an 03 GTI, they were just about $20 a month away from what I wanted, but wouldn't budge. So I grabbed the guys business card from his desk and wrote my cell number on the back of it. I told him heres my cell phone number, I'm leaving now and driving over to Long Beach VW, they have a black one there. If you decide to sell me this one, call my cell, but once I hit the freeway, I'm not coming back. I walked out, got in my car, got to about the first light, and my phone rang, guess who it was

You got great negotiating skills, minicobra. I have stickied a thread in pricing section for other members to learn more about the dealer process and their games. If one isn't prepared to tackle the dealer, they WILL lose out on thousands of dollars or even pay $48,000 for a 370Z

Car looks great. Feel free to write a detailed review on the 370Z(or specific features) . Again, congratulations!

Walking out is some of the best tools you can use with negotiating. But I think you still can do better than MSRP. But, you're happy with your purchase, CONGRATS!!

There you go! That's the price I see myself as well as others should pay for a base + sport package. That's at invoice or just above. You've done your homework!! Although, your APR is probably a bit on the high end, but you got the car at the right price. Just take care of your payments for a year or so and then refinance for a lower rate. That's what I would do.

If you don't mind me asking, how much was your OTD (purchase price + TTL)?

Question on the splash guards i told them i wanted Splash Guards and they kept telling that it came on the touring which i think they are full of it but it was late and I was tired or arguing with them. But they said the computer would not allow them to put that on as an option. Has anyone else run into that?
