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

Pushing_Tin · 12-25-2008, 01:40 AM

Just wondering how many of you are willing to pay over sticker for a new Z? I have no idea what the demand for the car will be, but surely even with the crap economy there will be more people wanting the car, than are available.

I for one won't pay over sticker for any car, and I'm comfortable waiting for a while until some good deals are available.

What say you?

Nope. Won't pay more than MSRP. I'm tired of that. These dealerships are going to lose my business if they mark up. I expect a 1-2K markup, but I've seen some CRAZY mark-ups before... When we bought our Solstice GXP, the dealships wanted 20K over sticker! And the I've already seen a 40K markup on the Challenger SRT8.

If I see the dealerships mark-up the Zs like I've been seeing others do to their cars, I won't be buying a Z right away. I'll wait until the price drops to MSRP. I'm patient, not stupid.

I wouldnt pay more than MSRP. Anything over it would just be plain and stupid.

nogoodname · 12-25-2008, 11:41 AM

Our local dealer was charging $8k over sticker for the SRT8 a few months ago, but now they are already $2k off of sticker. That didn't take long. I drove both an R/T and SRT8 last week and wasn't very impressed.

I'm going to wait for a second year production Z anyways. Markups won't be problem. Either way I wouldn't pay over MSRP.

Yeah... I'm not impressed with a lot of cars these days... Lots of money for little material. That's another thing about the new Z that is exciting me so much. I figured they dealerships would eventually remember that we're in a serious recession and drop the price like a brick in water. They're so stupid for marking up at a time like this. LOL

nogoodname · 12-25-2008, 03:47 PM

^^ I will bet that dealerships would not mark-up a Z like the GT-R's has been

just the other day, i got an ad from my dealership that are selling there GT-R's at MSRP !!!!

shumby · 12-25-2008, 03:52 PM

nogoodname · 12-25-2008, 03:58 PM

shumby · 12-25-2008, 03:58 PM

Mythos219 · 12-25-2008, 08:54 PM

I'd never pay over MSRP for a car. If I can't get it at MSRP I'll wait it out. Unless its a Ferrari the price will drop.

frost · 12-25-2008, 10:43 PM

Everyone here who is saying that they would pay over sticker, just know what you're the ones messing it up for everyone. These a-hole dealers couldn't charge over sticker if you people would refuse to pay it.

Are you kidding? In this market they will be lucky to get me to pay invoice for a new car.

Bring on the redtag, 0% financing please.
