Need advice on buying a 2013 370z Nismo

HELLO Everyone,

My wife and I went to Trophy Nissan out of Dallas yesterday. I had read all comments and reviews on this dealer the night before, so I was well prepared for any curve balls. Trophy had some bad reviews but they were from quite awhile back. Reviews from 2011 and 2012 were pretty good, so I had something to be optimistic about. Anyways, got there an hour early, drove around the parking lot to look for the car we had negiotiated. I didn't want to play the "bait and switch" game. The 2013 370z nismo was there matching the same VIN. For sure they can't say "its sold, but we have others you can look at."
We had negiotiated a price over the phone, I didn't want to pay anything over that price. No surprises. Some dealers might charge junk fees...etc processing, document fee, you name it fees.
We went inside meet with the salesman I talked over the phone Erin Sanders. He was very polite and cordial. I also meet his superior Charles Traylor. Very nice also. Erin showed me the vehicle and then we went inside to do the paperwork.
The entire process went very smooth. The numbers were all correct just like what we had discussed. To my surprise there was no surprises. Everything negative from the prior reviews was not practiced here today. The finance manager was a liitle pushy trying to sell the extended warranty. But hey, that was his job. There was some waiting here and there, but the whole process took about 3 hours.

CONCLUSION: I got the nismo a few hundreds below invoice. I drove home last night didnt fall asleep at all because the thrill of driving that vehilce. Lots of bugs on the bumper though, I will have to wash it before I post some pics.
To me that was a great deal and I didn't have to twist any arms. If anyone need a 370z, I recommend to go see Erin Sanders and Charles Traylor at Trophy Nissan in Mesquite, TX.

Thanks again everyone on this forum for your inputs.
