Nissan dealers with and without mark ups

[Vintage]

Wow Congrats! Did you meet Tim Gunter. He and I go back about 15 years wheeling and dealing on nissans I bought 3 GTRs from him and helped him sell about a dozen when he was in NC before he opened up is own dealership up in VA. Enjoy it!

Thanks!
I didn't get a chance to meet the owner. A sales girl and the Nissan manager helped me out. Really nice folks to deal with. They made the purchasong process very pleasant. I would highly recommend the dealership. I'm loving the car, everything I expected from Nissan and more.

Also, has anybody noticed that Nissan's inventory website sometimes shows "Graphite Cloth" for a Performance Spec? I've seen this several times.

I actually just put in a reservation on one such performance spec listed with "Graphite Cloth" on the inventory page. Pictures show graphite (not blue, like the exterior) leather, window sticker says leather

$2k markup; in Dover, Ohio.

Did they charge you the $5K markup or were you able to do some negotiating?

I spoke to a salesman almost 3 weeks ago regarding when the car was coming in and cost; they actually quoted me MSRP then. Shoulda signed the damn paperwork that day.

When the car came in I spoke to them again and they told me $5k. I was starting a trip for a couple weeks and said I'd reserve it at MSRP but not $5k, and would come look at it if it was still there when I got back.

They called me today offering $2k.

Thanks. $2k is a good deal in regards to some of the other markups out there. Enjoy your car & congrats.

 

[Zplz]

$2K is good to hear. With that and the MSRPs, hopefully, things are going in the right direction. Come on, Nissan… need more Z’s, please.

Funny how that works haha. I still laugh thinking about buying mine. Dudes wanted 20k but settled on 2k in a matter of like 2 days. They are just throwing stuff out there.

Things seem to finally be changing one dealership at a time.

Agree, I think the $10k to $20k days are finally over.
Seems like $2k to $5k is the new norm. With a few dealers actually at MSRP ( My hats off to those MSRP dealers)
I Really don't blame dealers for trying to get $2k to $5k over MSRP on a new release that they'll only see a couple cars for the year. I remember a few year ago during COVID with auto shortage, a friend was looking at Toyota and Kia SUV's. The dealers wanted 2k to 5k over. I guess it's all relevant on what the market will bear.
In the last few years I've waited over a year on three ordered vehicles, with constant delays do to parts shortages. I have to admit on my Z purchase it did feel good to walk into the dealship, look over the car and purchase it off the showroom floor.

Some dealers will throw out the big markup and see if they can get someone in who will do and pay anything for a Z. There are certainly cases where they raped a buyer. That's the car business sometimes, but I would guess we all appreciate dealers who will work with us and not by being greedy. They need to make a profit, but not by screwing a customer on one specific deal. As cars sit longer, they will adjust prices to a fair level. It is good to hear what others are experiencing with the looking and buying process.

That was my experience. Dealer wanted 20k over but eventually after a few calls came down to 2k.
