Trying to buy a new Z

i think it's possible to do better, but it depends on a few other factors, including availability in kansas and the dealer's offer amount on your trade-in.

for example, i got the same package in '10, minus splash guards, for 30,500, but i took a hit on the trade-in value of the car i traded in. plus, at the time, every dealer around me had a good number of 370z's sitting on their lots.

if the dealer is giving you a good trade value, that price could be worth it. i've never once gotten a trade value from a dealer that i really thought was fair, though.

if you're patient, or you can temporarily float the funds, you could end up doing better by grabbing the z at a good price and selling the altima private party..
