370Zsteve: I definitely know what you mean. I would like to part everything out first and see what I can get for a base. Thanks for the advice!

Looks great, if that includes tax,title,licnese and dealer fees.

[QUOTE=370Zsteve;239598]But it is a pain in the ***! And you have to deal with people that jerk you around.

:iagree:

The only thing that can happen if you offer 30.5k is you'll piss them off
so screw it why not. I dont think that would work with the 2010 models simply because they are new and they have more time to sell those before depreciation affects them. Plus there is nothing coming out for a while after that. But on an 09 that should be your target.

Here in Wichita, KS they have them discounted to $30,250 at the moment. Base+Sport+Trunk mat+window tint

I wish I was prepared to take that red one home I test drove.

You should never wax new paint. Just an FYI

As long as you don't jerk people around I've got no problem trading in to you, either that or should I look into Carmax?

:tup:

I just paid 28,975 + TTL for my Silver Base 6MT w/ Sports package (splash guards, floor mats, trunk mat). I was also able to get 3.49% financing for 60mos! (had to buy the maintanence package to get the lower rate)

If it wasn't for the crazy 9.25% tax rate here in San Jose, the deal could've been better!

I made the deal this morning and will be picking up the car later this evening. Can't wait!!

Nice congrats. Which dealership did you purchase your Z from?

Premier Nissan at the Capital Automall. They advertised the "5k off MSRP" special over the weekend in the Mercury News.

Nice, that is where I bought my Z too.

What is the maintenance package?

I did the 7yr/70k miles extended warranty and 2 years free maintenance (oil changes/tire rotations/etc). Since this is a "weekend" car, I didn't need any more than 70k miles coverage but the 7yrs is nice.

Total cost was pretty high (~1895) but the reduction from 3.9% to 3.49% made the price low enough (under 1500) for me to get suckered into the extended warranty/maintenance. :icon14:

BTW - I picked up the car last night and I can't stop looking at her! It was parked in my driveway last night and I had to go outside to sneak a peek every 30mins! Coming into the office this morning, I had to look at the car for a couple of minutes before walking into the building. I think I'm stalking my car....
