price of 2007 350z base by wja_eng_001

Hi, I have been quoted a price of $27,400 for a 2007 base model 350z with the following options, carpet floor mats, trunk mat, cargo convenience package. The dealer claims this is approximately $400 above invoice, can anyone verify that? From what I have seen on the internet, the base invoice is around $26095 for the base 2007s.
Bottom line, is this a "fair" price?

According to carsdirect, invoice with those extras comes to $26,881. So he is more like $500 over invoice. Carsdirect also gives me a purchase price of $27,531. So it seems your deal is OK. Not great, just OK. If you like the car, go for it. You may be able to knock of another 1 or 2 or 3 hundred, but only you can decide if it is worth the hassle and legwork to do so.

I just bought an '07 last week. I learned to use a site like Edmunds to get dealer quotes and then work from there. I pitted two dealerships against each other and was happy with the results. I went to the showroom of one dealership, and found they had one of the new Solar Orange ones, base model with kick plates, trunk mat and a couple of other small options, so I just had to have it. They said because it's going to be a rare color, they knew they'd get good money for it and didn't want to budge on the price, and wanted to charge me 29,500 or somewhere around there. I went home and did the quote request and found another dealer that had access to one in the exact same specs. We negotiated online via email, and we worked it for 27,100 and free oil changes. I let the original dealership match it, but they had already lost me. It was a fun experience and I learned to use this valuable tool. My car is amazing, and I couldn't justify stepping up from a base when speed and handling is what's most important to me, and the base provides this. The Solar Orange is an amazing color that people just have to see up close. I highly recommend a Z if you understand that you may have to sacrifice some comfort for performance...lot's of performance. Also, let me tell you this. I was with Allstate Insurance and received a quote on the Z for 375 per month! Found a company called Unitrin Direct and I now pay 117 a month, and that's with a suspension and 3 tix. Before you let insurance price you out of a Z, which mine almost did, do your homework and do an online quote for that too. Hope this helps!

opinions on 07 model by dat2

Can anyone give a rundown of their opinion on the chgs to the new model? How is the extra power and the other revisions? Is it worth upgrading from an 05 model if you get a good trade-in value? I like the chgs such as the extra power and the now 1000 extra revs. At least on paper it all sounds great. Any ideas what the 08 models will be like? Maybe the new 3.7 engine (370Z)?

Is this a good deal? by movistar

I went to a Nissan dealer and was quoted a price of $31,900 for a 350z touring model. The MSRP was $37,000 with an additional markup of $3999 which was what they claim an adjusted market demand for the vehicle. I wouldn't even think of paying that. It has navigation,auto,xm
Does that sound like a good deal?
Also what is the base money factor, and residual value? Thanks!

why would the idiots have additional markup and then discount it so far below msrp? what a crock.
 
anyway, is this a brand new '07 with no miles?
 
according to carsdirect in my area, the msrp is $36,595, invoice is $33,732, and their price is $350 over invoice.
 
So you were quoted nearly $2k below invoice. I'd say that's a screaming deal if it is all on the up and up. Sounds fishy to me, though.

Its crazy! They have the MSRP listed then they have an additional sticker that adds $3999 for adjusted market value and a few other small things. I'm supposed to be getting a family discount, which is why I'm getting this deal. But yes, its a brand new model '07 no miles. I hope this is the same car its the touring with navigation and leather auto. Does anyone know the money factor and residual?

This is the coupe with manual? KBB gives the following figures: $33,325.00 MSRP, Invoice Not Available,
What consumers are really paying for this vehicle,
$32,992.00
 
If you're talking automatic, it's $33,825.00 for MSRP,
Invoice is $31,329.00, What consumers are really paying for this vehicle is $33,487.00.
 
(I suspect the "what consumers are actually paying" is a little high.)
 
This is with no other options at all, and most cars on a dealers lot will have a few options, like cargo nets and aluminum kickplates and so forth. What all is on the car you looked at to bring it up to $37k? Or are you looking at the roadster?
 
So $31,900 sounds like a deal. If it's the automatic, that's $600 over invoice, a very respectable deal. Why they add AMV is to make you *feel* like you're getting a real screamer of a deal, when in fact you're getting just a plain ol' good deal.
 
Edited to add: playing around on the KBB site a little more, if you add virtuall *ALL* the goodies, from floor mats to "convenience package" to DVD-based nav. system to XM or Sirius radio, it adds up to an MSRP of around $37,000. So the car you're looking at better be loaded with all that, if the dealer's claim is true about MSRP there.
 
Otherwise it should be closer to 33,xxx, in which case your deal as described sounds decent.

MSRP is $37,xxx with DVD,NAV and leather. I was given a quote of $31,900. I wanted to find the money factor and residual.
