Did you bid on a Touring w/Sports package and u got it all the way down to $34,500 (isn't that way below invoice)? The reason i ask is because i have my heart set in getting a blk ext/blk int. Touring w/sports package Nav 6sp manual, and it's freaking impossible to find. Plus the MSRP is over $40K. The places that you've been bargaining at, is it in nor-cal or so-cal? Any advice or suggestion? I searched all the dealership's inventory around me and I can't even find any Touringw/sports,nav, 6 speed. I most likely will have to special order.

Well the invoice for the touring+sport was $35,216, but I managed to talk them down because of the miles on it to $34,500. That was a crazy good deal, and there is no way a sane dealer would ever go lower then that on a Z.

I am in Texas, and funnily enough the same dealership had the exact car you want (blk/blk, touring+sport+nav+6sp) but they ended up selling it really fast. It may be hard to find the exact car you want, you should go chat to some dealers. They'll know the Z models they are expecting to receive soon, so you might be able to avoid special ordering one which will take months to get. Also one of the dealers I talked to was willing to source my car from another city and cover the cost of the flat bed transfer for me too. Just gotta find a nice dealer!

I ended up buying just a red base+sports model, for $31,500 (inv $31,858).

Which dealer in Texas did you get this price for????

Mossy Nissan in Houston... speak to Kirk for instant invoice pricing.

And the dealers do still make some money selling it at invoice, through factory holdback and other factory to dealer incentives.

Kirk started out at 500 over invoice, but I have walked away currently, though he has been the best overall in Houston I have dealt with. I test drove that blue fully loaded Z (6 speed) for a bit and was so close to buying it.

That's the one I went in to see and it had been sold 3 hours earlier

Are you sure Kirk wasn't just including the destination fee already? Either way he should show you the original billing doc if you ask.

Sounds good, I was going to talk to him again this week probably, want to order at the end of the month. I will say I did not get to really test drive that fully loaded though, drove around the block because it was 5:15 and I-10 rush hour stopped any real driving.
