WHAT!!? Did no one catch this... this is NOT MSRP! Especially not in 09. The base msrp of the 370z in 09 was 29,930. With destination it was $30,650. Add $1300 for the auto and you get to $31,950. Throw in every accessory and you have 32,500.
36,455 is msrp for a 2010 base, sport package, auto with all the accessories with 0 miles. Being that we are 4 months away from 2011 the most I can possibly see him advertising for is invoice. Which is 28k range. If you think that 36455 is a good asking price to work from??? I'm taking 2013 pre orders... gimmie 5 grand now and I will make sure you will have a 2013 Z in 2012. I accept cash only? Lol

Well, it's also a 7AT, which means it's faster than 6MT, and if they're running properly cooled oil, LOOK OUT. Also, I hear there's a translucent Z out there somewhere.

ON topic, i for 1000 dollars more, i got touring/sport/nav 2010! That is actually a comical price they are asking.

I remember when I was going to buy my 2009 back in March '09 when these things were still really new and VERY rare. First number the dealer gave me was $42,900 not including tax and what not. LOL.

I got it down to $37k OTD, which worked out to a few hundred under invoice.

frost · 07-19-2010, 11:55 AM

People post what they pay here all the time, and it's obvious that one should not even pay invoice for this car, because most are paying $500 under.

At the same time, you can generalize that to most automobiles. A dealer can sell at invoice and make a profit in many cases.

Anyone who pays MSRP didn't do their homework.

yeah, just because one pays under invoice doesn't mean they are stealing from the dealer. Your average car buyer negotiates a car deal every few years, whereas the car people do this 10-20 times a day. No one is going to steel from the dealer, they make it back somehow. This is truth 100% of the time, no matter how much they tell you about "how you're robbing them blind" as you sign the paperwork.

Again, do your homework as a consumer. Read up on places like bank websites or automotive magazines about how dealers operate. It's fairly impossible to screw a dealer. If you low-ball them, they'll say no.
