Good Price?
 

Went in today to look at a new, white '11 Z. Base w/ Sport for $32,049.

Do you guys think I should bite? Any thoughts or input is appreciated.

good price
 

This looks like invoice.

Not sure where you are, but Ed Martin is the dealer in my area,

so you could compare there.

Its not a terrible deal, but you can definitely do better. If its an automatic, I would go no higher than 31.5k and if it is a manual, I would go no higher than 31k.

It is for a manual. I'm located in Jersey/Delaware. I'll have to see what else I can do.

A sport is like 34,4 34,6. I think you got a really good deal there, the only other thing I see them taking off that pirce is dealer buy back, but they rarely do that. I got my Z brand new for about a grand below invoice but thats because I was good friends with him and the Z was the third brand new car I bought from him.

Well, that's reassuring. We all originally thought it was a good price (a doctor I work with knew the owner) but I wanted to see what people thought on here.

What are you talking about? The sticker (MSRP) might be 34.5k, but that is certainly not near invoice. I don't know what the invoice price is for the 2011's, but here is the invoice for the same 2010 model.

Base w/ Manual: $28,099
Sport Package: $2,602
Total: $30,701

That's not including floor mats and little things like that, so it probably comes out to ~$31k. That's why I said go not higher than $31k because that is invoice. If you find a good dealer you could probably get 500 below invoice.

comparison pricing
 

Don't forget dealer holdback. That 4 or 5 hundred is going to be paid on a new Z.

Invoice is about 31 grand, but once you add the seemingly unavoidable

little options and aforementioned dealer holdback, this is a very good deal.

In the real world the best you can do is shop regionally for the best price.

Nissan has raised there prices on the Z once again for 11, which is what he is looking at. The Z no longer starts under 30k anymore.

^ Didn't know that, so thanks for the info :tup:

I doubt the price went up that much, but it sounds like the OP is getting a pretty fair deal.

Yeah, it sucks. I really want to go for it but the monthly payment might be $40-50 out of my range. I know that's not a big number, but with what I'm making, it adds up.

Just get a new 2010 then. Same car, but will be a good 2-3k cheaper! You should at least consider it :tiphat:

I actually wanted to do that, I honestly don't want an '11 if I don't have to. But, unfortunately, there aren't many around here. My dream was the Touring w/ Nav, but I obviously couldn't afford that (if I couldn't afford Base/Sport) but I found this..

Cars for Sale: 2009 Nissan 370Z in East Brunswick, NJ 08816: Coupe Details - 292594181 - AutoTrader.com

That's in my price range if they give me 13K for my '08 Si. What do you guys think? The only concern is the 1 reported "rear impact accident." I understand you can report even the slightest fender benders but any accident is sketchy. Luckily, nothing that important in the back. Do you think I should be concerned?

here is WA
 

I bought my car in WA.
2011 370z
sports pakage
6 speed maunal trans
splash guard.

tax was 9.6%??? i don't remember exactly but it's about that

OTD price was 34,300,
only car price was 31,000.

dealer's invoice was about 32,214.
i think you should pay for it under 31k.
and include floor mat when you deal.
cause it's very useful!
i bought floor mat after buying the car.. so i paid another 85bucks for it!!!!

Yeah, well, it's looking like used is more in my ballpark right now. It may allow me to get the touring with navi like I truly want, as well.

My guarantee'd price through USAA car buying service is 31,321 for a car in my area (Middle GA). With Taxes (7%) plus a retarded 599 doc few and few others Im looking at roughly 34k OTD. Im just wondering for the daily driver with a few mods is the sports package really worth it.

Not if you want an auto. If you drive stick, I'd say it's a must. The Rev-Match technology is phenomenal. Plus, you get Rays which go for at least 2K for a set. The package itself is about 2K. Well worth it.

I just saw one for sale (it got sold already) 2009 for 29k that included sport/touring w/nav and it had about 30k miles; THINK they were selling it as certified. not bad

I found 2 Black Cherry 2010's, Touring, MT, Sport Package. No Nav, but you can get a nice aftermarket stereo w/ nav and bluetooth for 750 or so.

Anyways, I figure you can probably get them down to ~$31k. If you are interested, give me a PM and I will provide more details.

I appreciate you guys lookin' out for some well priced Z's for me, but I'm (extremely) OCD when it comes to my car. I hate buying used, and would usually refuse to, but in this case I might have to. But, if I do, I want it below 10K miles. I want to know that every chip, scratch, dent, etcetera is from ME and not somebody else. Haha, I'm bad.

I'm going to drive to see what I can get that one I posted (AutoTrader link) to. If I can get 13K for my Si (aftermarket parts killed me) I can afford it.

Also, I'm only into the Pearl White and Mont Blue.

If you are buying used, I can guarantee that the car will have rock chips UNLESS the previous owner clearbra-ed it! But honestly, I think you can have an 09 or even 10 for Touring + Sport for the price range you are looking for! Or you might want to revisit the option of owning a Z, when your finances are in order (I dont know the situation). Id rather be financially stable than buy a car and not be able to pay for the long-run costs. I know the latter seems hard to accept, but its something only an outsider looking in can tell you! Good luck!

No, I actually do understand this. And this isn't anything I'm forcing (I love my Si, I have over 15K in the engine bay) it just seems a little pushy when you're on a Z forum talking about nothing but buying it for the right price.

To me, it's a realistic dream when I'm 21 and have no bills. ****, my parents are even saying buy it since I have no bills (beings that'll all change after school). I've accepted since last August (first time I looked) that I may not be able to get it in "my price range" and that's okay. I'm going to look at that one on Autotrader and if I can't afford it, then I'm done til' my Si is paid off.

new model year
 

1 last thing. The new Z is out next fall. If you can wait, you'll be able to pick.

Well guys, after the extensive amount of mods I've done to my Si, and losing value, I was offered a great price for it when I went and visited that Autotrader Ad Z. I was offered 14K for my Si (still owe 8K) and got the Z for $29,999.

I'm officially a Z owner! :D (as long as the loan goes through, of course)

Got the price to where I wanted (monthly payment wise) and the thing has every option available for the Touring. Cannot wait to get my money back in order and start modding like I did my Si.

Congrats man! Was that a used or new?

Used, but it looks great. I wouldn't have taken it unless it did because I'm so picky. Only 7,3XX miles.

I have to wait for the loan go through (praying) and then I pick it up Saturday. I'll be sure to post pictures (:


Just a question though, the plate is drilled into the bumper (Jersey rules) but I don't use it. What do you think would be cheaper, getting it filled and repainted or (if possible) getting a new bumper, pre painted?

If you want a body kit, don't get a new bumper.

I didn't see a front bumper price (and you might could find used from someone else installing a body kit) but it looks like new comes unpainted so I think that would cost more than filling in the holes.

I don't want a body kit. I just want the holes filled, the right way, not with plugs. Didn't know if anyone had any links to where I could perhaps look at a new bumper or anything.. I'll run through the for sale threads.

I hope I'm wrong, but something seems amiss. Here's to good luck-

I'm in for pics

haha, I understand it sounds sketchy but the guy got rid of it because he had a kid on the way. They had it originally priced at $34K and it didn't sell, so for Presidents Weekend they set it at $29K and still no buyers (it's snowy up here in Jersey) so.. I reaped the benefits. But, thank you! :tiphat:
