I took the exact same 2010 invoice prices as you $29,474 + $2,602 = $32,076. Now, the base MSRP has risen about $1,200 for 2011, so less just say the invoice went up $800. That gives you:

$32,850 = invoice (fair deal)
$32,350 = 500 below invoice (good deal)
$31,850 = 1000 below invoice (great deal)

Before you start flaming people maybe you should actually look at what they are writing. I was just trying to do the guy a favor by adding everything up for him.

+1 for you.

The largest nationwide car dealer uses kbb, carmax. And my logic is correct. He is getting a new z for the retail price of a used one.

Your logic is wrong lol. Apply your concept to other vehicles and it doesnt work at all - its all based on depreciation. You cant just say, "Oh yeah, thats a great deal - KBB says my car is worth XXX after X years and X miles, so the deal offered to you is awesome!". It just happens that KBB thinks your car for retail value (AKA, used, from a dealership with 6K miles) is worth 37K. Nobody is going to pay retail value on a used car with 6k miles, unless they're a complete fool and dont know a thing about buying a vehicle.

In your case, you may have bought your car for invoice price (which was...what, 37-38K?) 2 years ago. Then you just threw up a KBB valuation saying your car is worth....37K after 2 years and 6K+ miles. You think you'll sell that thing for 37K right now? And what connection at all does that have with a new Z? You're saying a brand new Z probably WITHOUT all the bells and whistles (not even same options as you) being offered to him for 37K is a GREAT deal cause your car which HAD all the bells and whistles and is 2 years old is supposedly worth 37K!...which is apples to oranges, of course. 2 cars, 2 years apart, different packages.

He's getting a new Z for invoice price (or less), which is cheaper than a new Z at MSRP. Thats a good deal. Saying he's getting a new Z at the same (or less) price as the retail for a used 2 year old, 6K mile Z means absolutely nothing. At all. Period. It just means a website says your Z is worth so much, and he's getting a better price than that.
