Will you pay over sticker to have a new 370Z?

I'm NOT impressed at all with GM interior. Even the Cadi's have crap interior. Plain-Jane crap materials, with the most bogus GPS. Even the Corvette ZR1 which costs over $100,000 has garbage interior. I mean really... They need to get a clue. Also, I'm tired of EVERYTHING falling of the cars. GM quality is like Mon-Fri beer-day at the factories with Sat-Sun off.

For crying out loud, the damn door handles on the Solstice PULLED RIGHT OUT OF THE DOOR!!! BOTH OF THEM!!! The convertible top has been in TWICE for repair, a shock blew out, parts in the interior simply CAME OFF, and the back deck doesn't stay up if a tiny wind blows. The car is a horrid POS!

Done with American cars. Nissan all the way baby! Never had problems with our G35, M35 and for 19 year-old car, my Z is doing quite well!

Are you going to be shopping for the Z as soon as it comes out?

I might pay MSRP, but definitely not a penny over, I'll never pay a mark-up, cars depreciate too quickly for that. I think dealers will be coming down on the price quickly on this car if they do. It's a little different then the GT-R's or Camero and Challengers, those havn't been around for awhile. I know the 370 is all new, but it's not a radical departure from a 2008 350z.

I'd like to pick one up in a few weeks, but if dealers are marking them up, I'll wait til spring or summer when the price goes down. The extra $ I save will go right to mods.

No chance. I'm going to wait until the dealers are at each other's throats in a price war. We've got a LOT of dealers and they're all desperate. I'm going to play the market on this.

Frost, believe me, I laughed when the second one came off.. I nearly cried from laughing so hard. It's really sad when you start to LAUGH when you're brand new car breaks so much.

My dad bought a brand new Chevy 1500 truck and the next day the transmission blew up! After they replaced it, we didn't have any problems for a little while. Then about a year later, the body panels were warping, and for some reason the horn stopped working. About a month after that was all fixed, the gauges stopped working... We sold the truck with 17K miles on it. (We had it for 2 years.)

in this economy?

Guys,
Quick question.
what do you think is the differnece between MSRP and the Invoice price that the dealers pay? One of the Dealers near me here in Calif Bay Area says he'll sell one for $1,500 over the Invoice price.

thanks.
