Recent Lease Deals? by assangbid

I just got back from a dealership in Southern California and here's their best quotation on a 05 Touring Manual:
MSRP: $34640
Invoice: $31640
Their offered price: $31949
Edmunds Invoice Price: $30700
residual: $15870
Money Factor: 0.00200
36 months/36000 miles
$895 due at signing
Monthly Payment: $399 + tax
They originally offered me $464 + tax monthly.
What do you guys think of this deal? I think it's too much. It's for a Touring Manual with no other options, except it comes with floor mats, splash guards, etc and that's why they explained there is a difference in the invoice pricing from Edmunds. I'm also considering leasing a G35/FX35. Any comments on this deal would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Ok, this is from what I know... take it for what it's worth. I am 25, and married (a little different), but my friend is 26 and not married. From my experience and I have the Z as a third car, my wife and I, the insurance went up $41 a month. I keep fully coverage all year around as well. My friend's insurance went up $125 a month with one ticket (less then a year). Now, it will depend on whether you will have a second, as your main, then this as your "low mileage" car, which in turn will lower the ensurance.
 
         As for paying invoice, I would say that depends on where you live. If you are within a few miles of a major city, your doing good (especially on the East Coast). I live near DC, and I would never buy my vehicle in the city. Now, if you live outside, rural area, I would say try to deal, or at least take the invoice, but ensure that add as many goodies as you can get. Lastly, I would check Carmax for the exact same car, new, and print out the page. Then say, "Can you get me this price?" My best friend, did the exact same thing and got $2600 off his 4X4 Titan Crew Cab, but again, it depends on the dealer. So, that's as much as I can help at this moment, but if you give me your wants and color needs, I can look around the DC area for ya.

purchased new touring Z by ajb3

I have been in need of a new car and wanted something sporty. I decided on the Nissan Z. After lots of research on pricing, options and trips to several dealers, I decided to take advantage of the 2004 leftover rebate
(I think it ends at the end of this month). I bought the coupe touring model. This included almost every option you could put on the car. The sticker price was over 37,000. I was able to get the dealer down to about 30,000 . First of all, the car was everything I would have wanted in a 2005. I was so proud that I was able to achieve this price and on top of it..I love the car.
However, someone I know threw in a zinger and said " not to belittle my negotiating skills" car dealers are giving cars away now.
 I was just wondering if I could have held out for more off the car ?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Thanks

Just curious...why are dealers "giving this car away"? Not sure this is true, but just wanted to ask.

well, isn't that like $3K below invoice? And the incentive on leftovers is $2K? Is that right? So the dealer actually ate $1K on the deal, no? (and please don't mention holdback because an '04 has been sitting around so long that the holdback has been used up and then some)
 
By the way, the rebate does not expire on leftovers, it gets paid out to the dealer.

I just bought an rx8, but I looked extensively at the 350Z as well. A couple of the lots I hit had maybe 1 or 2 leftover 04's (talking 350z here) and I couldn't get a better deal than a $1500 rebate and about another $1000 to $1500 off from the dealer. I was looking at a substantially cheaper car ($28 to $30K) and I really didn't press too hard on a deal because I had started leaning more toward the rx8 (and mainly because they had such good rebates on the leftover 04's). I think you did very well on your deal. All the salesmen I talked with said they don't have to rebate or discount the 350Z very much at all to move them!!
 
I have a friend that can always do better than I did. I could tell him, "They gave me this car!!" He'd say, "Well, I could have gotten them to pay ME to take it!!" Enjoy your car - it's one of the hottest looking rides out there!!

I have to thank the online websites that motivated me into trying to negotiate the way I did..The dealers must hate the internet. I originally saw the car several weeks ago at a large Nissan dealership. I asked the dealer what the price on the car was. He pointed to the invoice price and I responded "but what price are you willing to take" he just shot me a glance. I offered a totally low figure of 28,000 and he said the lowest they could go was 31,000 (after sitting in the chair for 10 minutes). It didn't take too much haggling. I left the dealership to still shop and try negotiation. I found a really nice dealer and although they say the dealer isn't your friend. This guy was a very nice old man. It was a small dealership with maybe 1 leftover and 3 new ones. I sat there for a very long time. I even fell into the the credit card trick. But, he offered me the Blue 2005 at the price I was looking for. I would have done it, but my heart was set on the silverstone. Anyway, I would have thought there was something wrong with the one I purchased. But, I was able to negotiate the same price on the 2005. I then went back to the original guy a week later and offered himj30,000. It makes you wonder the true price of the car. Anyway, he said the rebate was 1,000 not 2,000. The nice dealer said it was 2,000. They do some really weird stuff with the figures. When I signed all the papers, they even wanted me to sign something that would sell my email and home address to some marketing company. I refused that, so, that might be something to look out for.
 
Good luck with your RX8 though !!!
Thanks for responding !!!
