More wiggle-room over winter?

The internet sales manger is a fool akwardturtle, a fool!
Now is actually one of the best times to buy a car.
Do what I did - go to 3-4 dealerships get printouts, bring them to other dealerships, and let them price match.

I brought over a quote for base+sport and I ended up getting base+sport+TOURING for close to the same price

Yup, bringing in a written/printed quote always helps, thats what I did as well.

As far as what the dealer is saying, he may just be seeing if you are serious. Or maybe he figured out that you are not serious, and doesn't want to prolong the conversation, so he ups the price to put you off. Going in and talking in person is the best negotiation process. If that is what you are doing, and he still has the same response then move to another dealer, you will probably end up wasting each others time.

People are more worried about getting xmas presents rather than buy a car during the winter times. I call

You guys make assumptions that are not universally true.

"Go to three or four dealerships"? In many places, like here, there is one dealership. The next nearest Nissan dealers are each 100 miles away. In opposite directions.

"Order fewer cars in winter"? In this local Nissan dealership they rarely even have a Z on the floor. Even in summer. They'll order a Z for you anytime you want, but they don't have a bunch of Z's sitting around that they're motivated to move at fire sale prices.
