Whats the best price???

I would do it. I just purchased one today for $400 over invoice. I had many dealers say they wouldn't even match that - which is interesting because they would rather not sell a car and make $0 vs sell a car and make $400.

I hate greedy dealerships like that. And I'm sure they made more than $400 from your sale, there's no way they paid the invoice prices as a dealership.

I'm sure in a day or two, some of those dealerships will give you a call to come in and 'talk things over' again, this is when you can stop by in your 370z and say 'thanks, but no thanks' in person.

At least $400. You buy the warranty, that's at least a grand in their pocket. Buy gap, probably another $500. Paint protection, Lojack, leather conditioning, the list goes on.
Then how about regular service over the life of the vehicle, things like oil/filter changes, brake changes and so on. It may seem like they only make $400, but it's quite more.

Sure but its only 400 for now. Service is another story. I do most of my own work.

Even if a dealer sells at invoice, they're still making a profit.

+1,000,000. They don't buy cars one by one, but in bulks so at invoice, they're still making profit.

The dealership called me and said that there is a $500 charge or yellow, but they said that will honor the original quote. That puts the quote $100 under invoice. I'm pretty stoked. I feel this deal is the one to take. I'll let you know how it goes...

What are the list prices for each of the trims? I cant find it anywhere... I would love to know what the dealers are paying for them before I go in.... I went and looked at one today but it was 42k.... a bit rich for me....

Just in case anyone was wondering about holdback, this a quote from Edmund's on what the Nissan holdback is.

Quote:

Nissan: 2% of the Total Invoice

Dealerships have many ways other than holdback of making money from the producer, so "Invoice" is the only price to pay in this sort of economy.

I'm willing to pay $500 over invoice for a white, persimmon or gray interior, touring, 6-speed and navigation. I'm in the Los Angeles area. Anyone have a suggestion of who may be willing to sell on these terms?

Empire Nissan at ONTARIO CA has one White/Gray 6MT with Nav.

If it is white/Persimmon Leather, 6MT and sport package, I would probably get it already.

I know the dealership in Clovis Ca will do better than that. Ask for Alex at Nissan of Clovis (1-866-673-4091) Tell him that John Brown sent you. He is working me a deal better than the one you want.
Good luck
John
