1. 2012 Base - $31,693+TTL
2. 2012 Base w/sport package - $34,821+TTL
3. 2012 Touring - 35,562+TTL

I am leaning more towards the 2nd option. Can I do better? Should I choose a different option?

Yup, base + sport will make you a happy Z owner! I picked up Sport + Touring and I'm super happy with it!

I bought my 2011 base w/sport package that stickered around the same for 30,904. I think you can do better than that on pricing. Sounds like you are paying sticker? If so get a better price or different dealership. Most likely since it is Feb of 2012 this dealership is less likely to work on a better price. Be prepaired to walk and look around some more.

You can do much better in pricing. Back in 2009 when the 370z was brand spanking new I ordered my touring/sport yellow manual for 34300+TTL. At the end of 2010 when searching for a replacement of my now totaled 370z. I bough my 2010 Nismo for 35500+TTL (they had the car stickered at 45k due to tint, window etching, etc). You need to search around and be patient.

As long as you don't live in Tx,La,Ok,NM,Tn you can get good deals easily. In these states you need to fight,hustle, talk to 5 different dealerships and make them fight for your sale. 3 will reject you cuz they will think that they can get the next sucker... and the last 2 remaining will make it a murderous process and stress you out till you finally come to terms on a fairly good deal. The rest of the country gives Z's away. Lol.

Why would you pay more in those states? Just curious as I live in TN.

They low stock on Z's on purpose to make you order one from the factory and upsell the fact that they are going out of there way. Also, the low stock is there to make you think they are low on models cuz of high Z demand and make you pay more. Nissan Z's are a hard buy down here. Most of us that bought new down here have complicated purchase stories.

Disagree. 370Z's litter the dealership lots, except none like the one I want (loaded).

Well we can add Kansas City, KS & MO to the list of hard to getting good deal locally. I tried for 2.5 weeks and just walked away. I finally gave up and bought my car in Chicago area. To be exact Lagrange, IL. An hour and ten minute flight one way and signed papers and drove home.
