i'm surprised that there are quite a few pp that can get their z with msrp. I haven't looked that far and congrats for your effort that paid off great for you.
edit: in norCal, it's impossible to have msrp, every dealer has markup, the one in hayward has 35k markup it's insane, others are ~10K. FL dealers seems to have ~10K + some dubious package add on, total ~12K markup but they are more amenable to negotiation than those in norCal, soCal is even worse with the ones that i tried, cerritos listed something like 88K for z performance.
As I mentioned, every dealer I contacted had huge markup. Just be persistent and you may get them down. Worst they can say is no.

I'd been looking for one on the Nissan website for a few weeks. My criteria were 6MT and red/gunmetal/gray/rosewood. I saw a dealer on the website about 1.5 hrs away who was supposed to be getting a Perf Rosewood w/ 6MT the following week. I called up the sales manager and asked if the car was a pre-order or otherwise spoken for, and he said no and that a deposit of $1500 would hold the car for me at MSRP. I promptly gave him my credit car info and picked up the car when it arrived at the dealer's the next week. It was their first, and to my knowledge, only Z. My advice is to search all the dealers out in the boondocks, where sports car buyers aren't a dime a dozen. My understanding is that dealers are allocated cars based on their sales figures, even if they sell mostly trucks and SUV's, and your Z-buying competition will be less.

@KCZ damn, this advice to call boondocks dealers are really fruitful. I've got a seemingly solid lead with msrp, albeit 1000 miles away but it's definitely worth it. Thank You!
Mine was Globe AZ, "Truck Country", 500 miles away from San Diego. Go for it!

I have the opportunity to get a Black Diamond Nismo Z next week. Dealer that I work with wants $9500 over MSRP. Are these cars Collectible and rare enough to Justify the ADM? Does anyone have one yet to post a review compared to the Proto or performance Z?

Walk away! There's already been multiple members showing listings at msrp so I wouldnt pay that much over. @MCN1SMO maybe you can help?

There are over 400 NISMOs inbound (with that number rising ) with over 150 being black so even though comparatively that is a very small amount it's a bit more than what I would consider collectable or even rare as it's a very niche car at that price point. so yes not many cars but also not many buyers. I see MSRP advertisements for these weekly on the big facebook pages ( but I also see ubsurd mark ups too depending on dealer and location)

I wouldn't pay the 9500 over. mine is supposed to arrive on 11/13 and we have another member that has one due in next week. yes there are already a few owners ive seen post on facebook and a bunch of reviews from journalists and youtubers( if that means anything)
