even better. use the extra $30 you save and put gas in the car lol

The $695 destination fee IS NOT arbitrary. It costs money to ship a car via cargo ship from Japan to Long Beach, CA. It's not like a stork with a sling around its beak carrying your 370 is dropping it off one at a time from dealership to dealership. And if a new car is built here in the U.S., Canada or Mexico, it takes an 18-wheeler to deliver it. You know, an 18-wheeler requires fuel, goes through wear and tear, maintenance and costs money to subcontract a company to deliver vehicles for Nissan.

Dealerships always fill your tank up when you purchase a new car i.e. one that's never been RS'd as it's called, "registration of sale."

Things don't happen out of thin air.

I beg to differ on that one, good dealership do, the others you've got to brow beat into doing it. We will see as tomorrow I am going to take the numbers in and see what happens.

I'll let y'all know.

Former 260Z owner, getting back in.

UPDATE :

Deal as planned purchased 2009 Monterrey Blue 370Z Touring/Sport, w/ Nav, splash guards, lighted kick panels, and all the mats at INVOICE, they didn't even bat an eyelash....and i big ol full TANK O GAS when I left w/o even asking for it. I'll post up in the new Z section when I get some pics. Thanks again to the members who helped in this purchase!!!!!

Good stuff. Since you mentioned "former 260 owner," I guess in those days a full tank of gas wasn't included? Well, glad to see you got what you wanted. :tup:

Silver Base+sport MT? if so need price.

Thanks

Thanks! Hoping this will help me! Now to find the exact car I want!

i've never had an auto loan before. do most auto loans have a pre-payment penalty? (can i pay off the loan early without incuring any fees?)

Typically no, auto loans don't have a pre-payment penalty, but you should really read the fine print to be sure.

BTW, I reworked the document a little, so here's yet another version offered with respect and appreciation for the original:

Thanks Rans!

Hey guys first time posting and first time looking into the Z's. The wife has given me the green light on a Z and Im looking at the 370Z Nismo. I know the just hit the States last month and are probably hard to get a hold of, but I'm willing to wait. The question that I'm looking for is, does anyone know the Invoice and MSRP on the Nismo S-tune performance package?

Thanks for the help!!

Some cars have sat on lots long enough to have been transported for $695. If the destination fee went up to $750 tomorrow, the dealers wouldn't go outside and change stickers on all the cars they had on their lot.

Can someone add the Nismo invoice in here as well?


Znism

Invoice MSRP

BASE - $36,551 $39,130

FL3 - $89 $115
CARPETED FLOOR MA

IKP - $148 $200
ILLUMINATED KICK

TMA - $65 $95
CARPETED TRUNK MA

50S - $0 $0
50 STATE EMISSION

Freight Charge - $720 $720



i know its not in a formal document but those are the prices. =]

Z
 

The Nismo Z is priced just under $40,000, and is a limited production model, which means you'll probably have to wait until the 2010 is out before you find a dealer willing to discount the Nismo. Most dealerships get 1 or 2 per year.
My dealership is selling the 370z for $1000.00 over cost which I think is fair. Nissan will probably put out a $500.00 rebate around December, usually the Z series doesn't have much more offered from the factory. If you work for a qualifying partner of Nissan, "Union Pacific Railroad", for example, you can qualify for a V.P.P. deal which is Invoice minus 2% (which Nissan reimburses the dealership for).
My dealership has 2 New 2008 Automatic Grand Touring hard tops, marked down to $31,000.00, blue and silver - If anyone is interested.

I visited the dealer tonight and having read this thread I felt so much more prepared and confident about what I was doing. I definitely had leverage. I didn't take a print out with me, but I was dropping the invoice knowledge like crazy. I scared the finance guy off because he felt me out by saying the 370 with sport pkg. was $40000. I laughed at him and he left me with the salesman. It definitely sucks having to prove myself walking in because I'm a female. Cut out a lot of B.S. fast. Still shopping around. Thanks for this thread!
