A&Q about 350Z
Q:
I was just looking at this roadster convertible at Mid City Nissan in Chicago. 2004 silverstone, blk leather. tiptronic, 17'' wheels, with 18k miles, re-painted fron bumper! going for a whooping $38990 !!...guy comes up to me, i just nodded, and said, are you guys ****ing crazy!?...he goes...well, a new one goes for over 45K...i'm like..have a good day!
The 350 roadsters are going around here for 30-33K with less than 5k miles. just my two cents.

Mirage, you are looking at their website, while I, was in person at the dealership, and they have the car advertised for $38990 with the sticker on the windshield. So, be a bit more smart about making your OWN assumptions.

When you get past kicking the tires, driving the car, and yakking out on the lot, the sales guy usually invites you in to show you the numbers. Typically, these include:
MSRP (Interesting number, but only for reference)
Destination charge (You should confirm this on the internet.)
Market Adjustment (Be sure to say, "I'm not paying that.")
Paint sealant or other foofarah (Be sure to say, "I don't want it and won't pay for it.")
Dealer prep (not always).
Take these numbers. Do not even begin to negotiate other than the statements above. If you're seriously gonna try to buy, tell him that. Then, get off the premises. Do not make an offer on the spot. Tell them that you are not prepared to make an offer and that you will definitely provide your best and final in a day or two. Do your research on dealer cost, dealer incentives, etc. Put together an offer that you think represents a reasonable profit for the dealer based on his cost and represents your "yes" number. Bring that offer on paper (unsigned, of course) to the salesperson and tell him to call you with their yes or no. Period. Do not ever split the difference. Be prepared to walk if they won't meet your number. Then, do it. Once you've left the offer, do not call. Wait for their call. If you walk, the odds are about fifty-fifty you'll get a call. Again, do not haggle price on their premises. Do be sure to do your research. If you come up with an offer that is not credible, they'll figure you're not serious.

280fan, you are right on the money!...the dealer i bought my 350z from, wouldn't even let me drive the z i bought, instead, they let me drive a "demo" 350z. Then after my credit was approved, i was able to drive the Z that i end up buying

Our dealers in California let me test drive the one on the showroom floor.
I didn't let them know it was the one I wanted .... but it was perfect.
I gave them my price and told them to beat it. They came back with a offer $200 cheaper. I really didn't expect that since I gave them a below invoice figure. I went through the fleet group and had already set a price at invoice minus $300 at another dealer.
