Are You Ready to Buy? If So, We’re Doing It Again!

Plan A/B doesn't include the 5% dealer transport fee from what I can see - since its a Nissan employee offer I guess they skip that part. Not sure about the "trades"/"swap" question. I think the intent of the VPP program is for you to choose a car on the lot - the dealer would prefer to not have to trade/swap with another on a car he's not gonna make a whole lot of money on anyway would be my guess.

Also, keep in the mind the 40th Anniv Edition is just a Touring with an additional package added on - you could get VPP on the Touring piece and then pay regular price for the package add-ons. I'm curious, I heard they are making 1,000 of the special editions - I would wager there are less than a 1,000 fully loaded Black Cherry ones out there for 2010 so which one is more rare?

I've talked to about 4 nearby dealers and they all said they accept VPP on the 40th anniversary. It's all about how much demand there is in your area.

Edit: In fact there's a guy in the new 370 owner section that bought it for VPP.

Balan - If you go to Hackensack Nissan, the guy I dealt with was Justin Pinton and he was pretty cool and relaxed. He is rather new but he isn't the pushy type of salesman and he's young too. Of course you can get anyone you want there but he was pretty good to deal with for me and we negotiated pretty hard with him and the manager If you want to mention my name (I don't get any referral fee), it's Chris Marrone w/ the blue 370Z that was just picked up this past weekend I'm bringing mine in today for the clear bra to be done!

That new guy is me!!! I was able to buy it slightly below VPP price at Buena Park Nissan, but only after I started to leave the negotiating table. They initially stated that VPP was not available on the 40th anniversary. So, go negotiate yourself a good deal.

Thanks for the input. I agree with you a fully loaded Black Cherry for 2010 is rare....as a matter of fact , I can say the same about the 2010 Black on black fully loaded is Also rare because I've had dealership search Nissan USA and they only made 1 so far and it's sold already to somebody and there's none coming in their pipeline....unless, of course I go out there and custom configure one. Which can be done, just like the black cherry one you're referring to. But it's rare because you configure it the way you want it, or the dealership configured it the way they thought customer would want it. But it can be done, but the 40th Anniversary Edition is supposedly limited and you can't go back at the end of 2010 and expect to still be able to order it. Or 2015 and still order it. Maybe not the Cherry Blk because they'd have another limited ext. color again, but then again, the 40th anniversary edition has a lot more than just ext. color.

Now, the other question is DO I think the 40th anniversary is really that great and should be that exclusive to the point where it should be charged MSRP? I don't think so. But I'm just talking about my personal experience with all of the dealerships I've come in contact with here in California (especially the bay area) and most of them are counting on to make big bucks with the 40th anniversary edition models and don't intend to give me or anyone any discount on the 40th...they're asking no less than MSRP. Which is why I am glad to find out there are people (unfortunately from other states) able to use the VPP for it

I also think that the 40th is really nothing more to it being a touring...well, at least that's from our perspective....to Nissan that's a different story....it's their once in a lifetime 40th anniversary for the Z (and it does have limited branding things on it that makes it unique and cannot be custom ordered like the Cherry Blk fully loaded or the blk on blk fully loaded)
