Found the car I want!! Got a question about price

The exent of negotiability is going to depend entirely on that dealer's market and the liklihood that he can sell that short-supply vehicle at the price he's asking. If he believes, based on his experience with his customer base, that he can sell that Nismo at sticker, then why would he sell it to you for less than that? If you were a car salesman, you'd do the same...try to get the most you can for the vehicles you sell without keeping them around so long that you incur counterproductive floor-planning interest charges. If that car is new to his lot, it's certainly reasonable that he'd want to keep it around long enough to gauge customer interest before droppping the price.

Your best bet is to go to another dealership that's having a harder time moving their Nismo inventory, therefore more likely to be flexible in how much they sell them for.

MacCool is spot on. If this car is around in 4 weeks or so, the dealer might be more willing to negotiate at that point.
