Ordering a new 370Z

Aija · 06-21-2010, 01:40 PM

Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum although I am in other car forums and currently thinking of adding a 370Z to the family.

So as of today, whats the "good deal"?

For 2010 is it at invoice (or below/above invoice $$$)?

I am also searching for 09 leftovers. I am wondering how much below I can get it below invoice..

What I am looking for is:
Base 6 Speed Manual: Invoice: $28,043
Sport Package: Invoice: $2,602
which comes out at 30,645 without Destination Fee.

My budget was at 27.5k so I was thinking of going 09 with Sport Package or '10 completely base.

Any opinions/thoughts would be greatly appreciate!
If you order the 370Z, are dealers usually more flexible in negotiations?

You might be able to swing an '09 base w/ sport for 27.5k.

Don't expect much negotiating on an ordered Z, as dealers are more willing to deal on a car that is sitting on their lot.

I ordered my Z 2 months ago and got it at invoice.

Good luck!

This is a Q of mine as well. The dealer told me he would not be able to disclose a number on an ordered Z unless I put a down payment first. WTF?

That's BS. My dealer went over all the numbers, trade-in, down payment and monthly payments set before they even asked for a down payment. Asking you to put down money on a car without a disclosed price is absolutely ludicrous.

that is a crock. You agree on EVERYTHING (color, options, transmission ETC) THEN you give a down payment so they can order it. Down payment to negotiate? what bs.

I know it was one of the most offensive things I had heard. After not being able to find what I wanted in his lot I inquired about ordering a build. I asked what he would charge for a 2010 Red Touring with Nav, Mats, and kicks.... i asked what kind of number and he said "Oh I cant disclose that number you would have to come in and after going over what you wanted we could get a deposit from you and talk numbers."

I was like WTF! I am by far not an expert negotiator but that sounded so ridiculous. Oh yeah let me agree to put a deposit on a car that costs "X" amount of dollars..thats sounds like a deal, where do I sign. Im about fed up with the BS.

sigh...Maybe its cause I sound young...

It's a typical salesperson maneuver. Just get the person on the lot and wear them down. That's all it is. It's not because you are young.
