Car Edge shows around 1250 new/intransit Zs, still some new 2023s unsold. This is almost double what Car Edge was showing a few months ago so it just shows the Z's (along with many other brand's vehicles) are stacking up and will be lot-rotting until drastic full-spectrum economic factors...
Best price I've seen advertised on Autotrader so far for a CPO (7yr/100Kmiles warranty) Z. $46,499 for a Silver (one of the more expensive paint colors) Performance Auto with only 1,846 miles on the ODO. $699 doc fee in their fine print on the website. Dealer is Gunter Nissan of Martinsville...
IMO not enough Sports, too many NISMOs, way too many autos produced--seems like 75% autos to 25% 6MT. Diehard Z enthusiasts already have their car, now market correcting down (pre-owned 2023s will sit all year until resellers accept big losses). For 2024 and beyond dealers will have to learn...
Nissan dealerships still have 52,000 2023 Rogues sitting on their lots, slowly bleeding them in floorplan financing costs. It looks like some of the Florida Nissan dealers with huge amounts of Rogues are discounting some trims around 25% below MSRP to compete for any sales. Desperation setting...
Car Edge is showing 695 new Zs at dealers now or intransit. The Nissan Vehicle Locator is showing the intransit dates out through mid Feb...so will we reach 1,000+ Zs sitting unsold/in transit around mid 2024???
Yeah it seems some of the sales teams & managers maybe only consist of newer employees that just started their careers during pandemic and all they know is price gauging strategies during crisis and shortages, now they have a whole new game on their hands how to move product when oversupplied...
The market is still correcting downward and the dealerships are flooded with vehicles they can't sell, we are on our way back to the standard deal being done below MSRP. I hope Nissan builds as many Zs as they can in 2024 so we have a huge stockpile to choose from around this time next year...
On Autotrader, Giles Nissan of Opelousas, LA is advertising a new 2024 black, auto Performance at $50,939 showing a $3576 dealer discount off the MSRP of $54,515. Stock#: TH58966 VIN: JN1BZ4BH7RM361355. Dealer's website says this car is intransit but lists it at MSRP without this discount.
It'll be interesting to see if Nissan reduces Z production throughout 2024 based off their dealership network's inability to sell in this depressed car market. Nissan not offering incentives on Zs, leaving it up to Dealers to figure a way out with Dealer discounts instead. Wonder if some...
One of the last new 2023 Performance manuals, Rosewood--Frank Fletcher Nissan, Joplin MO. Listed on Autotrader 12/1 at MSRP $53,205; 12/13 at $52,205 and now today the discount is $2000 down to $51,205. Maybe ask them to throw in free delivery from MO to your front door. D24889 VIN...

$45,900 Used. 2023 Perf trim, white with red interior, auto, 12K miles being sold by Childre Nissan in GA listed at $45,900.
This dealer has recognized they can't sell it as Certified because that would push the price closer to $49K and it won't sell at that price in this downward market now...

Stealth 2024 Nissan Z RWD 9-Speed Automatic 3.0L V6.
I really do feel like the tide has finally turned and leverage is on the buyer's side now to get the Z deal we want. Dealerships still listing ADMs and trying to play hardball with "we can't sell for below MSRP" pricing are just delusional at this point. Ofcourse some dealers don't want the...
Recent observations and opinion from random potential Z buyer:
-Z market pricing is finally correcting downward, still some dealers not coming to grips with the reality of the market and their Z inventory will continue to collect dust until discounts are applied--pandemic mentality of MSRP being...
