What is your maximum 'willingness to pay'?

Do you think I over paid?

Although dealer markups are negotiable, they might be less-so for a car that is as high demand as the new Z. I've heard that any charge that is taxable is negotiable so I will personally try to argue for MSRP or bust. What are your thoughts?

Absolutely wouldn't be paying any dealer markups if they were a thing where I am. If it meant waiting a few years or buying a different car I'd go that route.

To late for me how this whole thing played out but I paid 57 for my premium 3.0 Supra so I wasn’t going to pay more than the 51 or whatever it was charging me for paint and mats lol even though I didn’t already like the price

Is the demand really that high here that they can max overcharge us? Everytime I pop into the Nissan lot to check in on the Z, the majority of the staff know nothing about it. 95% of the customers walking in are looking for a Pathfinder or an Altima.

Sometimes I feel like I am the only knucklehead around here that wants a car that is fun to drive. I know there are others out there but I feel like we are the rare customer. My dealership has a list consisting of handful of names they will call once the car arrives, but it's not a massive amount of customers.

Based on what I see on the roads, there aren't so many people wanting a fun to drive car. Or at least, "fun to drive" for them equals a grayscale SUV on pavement.

My sons and I always look for and point out sports cars when driving, and they seem few and far between these days. Mostly on our recent 2000+ mile round trip from Chicago to Colorado, we saw Corvettes. Surprising number of them. One BRZ. A few Miatas.

Other than some new COVID induced parts issues, I think the main thing that will kill Z for customers in terms of price and availability, will be Nissan. Specifically, how many Zs does Nissan plan to make? I've had a bad feeling for a while now, that Nissan plans a smaller number of Zs, which will lead to designed shortages at least the first few years.
