It seems as though people think a dealership isn't entitled to make money off these things...Uhhh, but they are. They're in business to do business, and if it wasn't so, they'd be out of business.

It's reasonable to pay below sticker, but not below invoice, nor to dig into holdback. I think dealerships are at least entitled to make the half way point between invoice and MSRP. A typical new car dealership spends about $400,000/month to keep its doors open. They're not making killings off you's.

No offense, we have already had one salesman through here, but dealerships are a business and have a right to make money. But, the dealership I bought from is getting Z's for 3% below invoice already from Nissan so selling at invoice is well within the margin of profit, hence why people are shooting for invoice. Now I agree that a dealership & customer should both be fair but as we can see from many threads here, invoice is the current fair-market value price for this car, currently.

Where was that chart found? That way when the dealer asks me I have a clue, lol.

lemans made a word doc chart from the information ak posted on the first page. i just updated it with the new destination charge and uploaded as a pdf. your dealer doesnt need to know where you got it. you and they both know the information is accurate and that's all that matters.

If you start digging the info is out there. Edmunds.com is a quick way to find out invoice pricing on any car. I put together the word document (which is now updated- thanks Jason)....it's from no official source, it just looks way more professional, imo.

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.

edeeZee · 05-21-2009, 12:31 PM

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.

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.

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?)

Rans · 07-06-2009, 12:02 PM

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!!

Can someone add the Nismo invoice in here as well?
