Default Advice please!

I'm a new member, and about to become a z owner...

I signed a purchase order for a 2011 brilliant silver touring 370z w/auto trans...

The cash price was $35,800 which is supposedly at invoice. It also has splash guards and trunk mats...

The dealer showed me the invoice, and it correlates to kbb and edmunds. But I keep reading what others paid for a 2010 and it looks like for even less than what I paid, they're sport/touring/navi???

So, while I still have a chance to cancel the buy order should I try to get a better deal on a 2010?

I sort of compromised on the color. What I really wanted was gunmetal/persimmon auto/touring/nav

Just some opinions on what I should do would be nice

Thanks!

So go haggle harder. Contact one of the vendors on this site and get a quote. If you find out that it's better, then go back to the other place to see if you can get a break.

I got a qoute from one dealer and asked another to beat it. Play 2 dealers off each other. They will do almost anything to sell u a car. I also got free oil changes for life doing this.

nice, how much did you pay for yours?

I'll try that!

Does getting those free oil changes for life work only at that local dealership or at any nissan?

I'd love to have that but I am in the military.

My biggest problem was that no local dealer had the car in inventory, it had to be shipped. The best I could do was invoice. The rest of the story is that I got $1500 over kbb for trade in, so I think it cut into the price some.

I'll let you know! I should take delivery today or tomorrow. I don't think I've ever been this excited about a car.

Looks like Thursday...worse than waiting for x-mas when I was 8 and getting a honda 50...

I can't remember exactly what I paid it was 32000 for base/sport and they paid to have leather put in. I also bought right when the 2010 came out. And I can only get the oil changes at that dealer
