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

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)

For all you guys that are participating in this (and the one last spring/summer); if you really want to "pay me back" in some way, just plan to be here in Nashville for ZCON 2010 and the 40th Anniversary celebration of the Z!

As I've mentioned in my specific "ZCON thread" I'm going to try an organize some sort of "get together" for THE370Z.com folks and I'd love to see a lot of you there.

There was a bug in the previous spreadsheet so I've fixed that. I have also added the 40th Anniversary Package for those who want to play with that. I've split into a CalcCoupe and CalcRoadster tab so those of you looking for convertibles can play around also. Its not perfect because you can accidentally choose exclusive options (like 40th Anniv Package and Floor Mats for instance) but if you are careful it will give you a real good idea of where MSRP, Invoice, and VPP price fall out. Enjoy!

Sweeeet this is awesome. Now you need to add tax, title and license for all 50 states... LOL

LinPark, thanks for the zip file. I am going for a roadster touring 6MT. Your file says read only. Was it your intent to have us be able to input our data?? Is there a way for us to convert it to write also? Thanks!

LinPark

I didn't think that I locked anything down on it - what version of Excel do you have? I think I built it in Excel 2007.

Does anyone know how to get in contact with Mr Nash aside from the forum's contact options? I've tried both PM and email and have not gotten a response yet.

I'm trying to finalize a deal tomorrow to officially become a part of the Z community and would like to get a VPP claim number before going to the dealer.

If anyone can personally contact him to respond to my PM/Email, it would be greatly appreciated.

Robert_Nash

Wow...Impatient bunch are we!

I've caught up with everyone that has contacted me up to this moment.

Again, however, I do have a pretty aggressive spam filter on my personal email and I've concerned that some email sent to my home email address may get caught in that filter...SO...if you've emailed me through the forum or otherwise and haven't gotten a response that may be what happened.

Overall, the best way to reach me for this is through the PM system here.

Thanks!!!

His last activity here was 3/3 at 3:19 PM - he should be around soon I would think though if I was him I'd be out in that Roadster he has.
