They are probably hoping you'll settle for a leftover 2007 at invoice!!

Online inventories can be terribly out of date, so I don't know if I would base my "scientific study" on those .
 
Just run by and count the cars or something, I guess, would be more accurate.
 
Some folks are saying they are getting near invoice for the coupes and I know VPP is now available for coupes and that gets you within $300 of invoice.
 
Often dealers will decide something is a hot seller (in their minds) and will not deal until they later wake up and realize that if they don't deal we will not buy.

I have a VPP number, so what does that mean for the bottom line of the car? Is it really that great of a savings? Let me know...

Which plan do you have? A, B, C, or D?
 
On a G35 or G37 C or D VPP is $275 to just over $300 over invoice (depends on the invoice of the car you choose). You do also have to pay the dealer's normal doc or prep fees, if any. You also have to pay for any dealer installed accessories. Plans A and B (employees and there immediate families) is less.
 
So the key is finding the car you want at a dealer that accepts VPP and has little or no doc fee.
 
Some folks are reporting getting invoice or under for G sedans and coupes now, these may or may not include the dealer fees. I think it depends on where you live, how many dealers are in the area, and how well the model you are looking at is selling. The VPP gets you a nice price with no hassles or haggling, but you may be able to get a little better deal but probably not by a lot.

Just curious, when you guys say "invoice" are you using the Monroney sticker?

What is printed on the sticker is MSRP (manufacturer's suggested retail price). Invoice is the number printed on the dealer's invoice for the car - in other words what the dealer is invoiced for the car. Technically, the invoice amount is just for the car and factory options and does not include the destination charge. The destination charge is also on the MSRP sticker with no markup and is part of the price of the car. So when we say "invoice" we mean the invoice price for the car plus the destination charge. The total of the two (plus any ad fees on the invoice) is what the dealer is invoiced for the car.
 
Dealers get hold back, incentives, etc to make extra money so the invoice price is not really what the dealer will have to pay for the car in most cases.
 
For our purposes, we take the published invoice including destination (as shown on Edmunds, KBB, Carsdirect.com, etc) and subtract any known dealer incentives and we have "dealer cost" (under most circumstances the dealer will not deal down into hold back). Any deal under this cost is a super deal, anything at cost or a little over is a great deal, more over cost is not as good a deal.

Same here. Makes you wonder how much more room there is.
