Louise Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Hello, I have been invited to a "VIP showroom event" at Toomey Nissan. The invite says that all new cars will be sold to us at factory price, they clearly say "you pay exactly what we [nissan] pay". Does anyone know roughly how much Nissan dealers pay for a standard, GT or Nismo 370z? thank you Quote
Will370z Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 I wouldn't believe a word of it, I went to a similar invite only event and prices were still way too high. It's all a pr exercise 1 Quote
Louise Posted June 19, 2014 Author Posted June 19, 2014 I wouldn't believe a word of it, I went to a similar invite only event and prices were still way too high. It's all a pr exercise I knew they wouldn't ever let anyone have one for trade price. I wanted an idea so I knew how much they were trying it on. I knew someone on here would had been invited to one in the past. I'm intrigued though, so I am going to go this Friday. I promised myself I wouldn't walk out of there with one, but I full in love with a Z too easily. Would be nice to upgrade from my 350z. Quote
Will370z Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 No harm going to see but these special invites are just a way to get people into the showroom, increased footfall = increased opportunity to sell. Take one out for a test drive and have some fun though. 1 Quote

ioneabee Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 at Nissan factory pricing - they will be in excess of £40k I'd wait for a normal day and get the dealer discount Quote
sipar69 Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 If you're interested in the a Nismo it's worth checking out Auto Trader for ex-demonstrator deals. Quote
Louise Posted June 20, 2014 Author Posted June 20, 2014 Factory price wouldn't be in excess of £40k, retail price would be. I will keep an eye out for ex demos! Quote
AliveBoy Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Factory price wouldn't be in excess of £40k, retail price would be. I will keep an eye out for ex demos! Just be careful with an ex demo, some companies will lower the warranty to the same as a used car. I also wouldn't mind betting that they will have had a hard life, so make sure you're compensated nicely in the price and with some decent servicing options. 1 Quote

370Ad Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) Pov spec is just shy of 27k normally. Edited June 20, 2014 by 370Ad 1 Quote
Louise Posted June 20, 2014 Author Posted June 20, 2014 Sorry if i came across sarcastic, I'm really not. Cheeky maybe I think I might go for a new one, all depending on the "trade price". At least then I know there isn't any history to worry about. I'm hoping I won't be disappointed when I test drive one, the thing I dislike most on the 350 is the clunky clutch. Quote

Weird what different people like about the same car, I love the fact that the clutch and gearbox feel very mechanical Quote

ioneabee Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 it is a heavy clutch and if you're stop/start - its particularly hard work 1 Quote
AliveBoy Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 I only noticed it properly after I'd spent a week driving a hire car. I can't imagine how it wheel feel when I fix it this time after a month off from driving it! Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk Quote

In terms of the gear change and clutch being clunky the 370 and 350 are very similar, better but similar. The biggest issue though is the exhaust. I had a brand new 370 for 2 weeks as a courtesy car and the lack of noise really put me off the car, in fact i loved my 350 even more when i got back in it. Keep that in mind, but with a aftermarket exhaust i was smiling my head off and the world was well again Quote
Ebized Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 it is a heavy clutch and if you're stop/start - its particularly hard work Must be because of the block you added to the pedal to reach it? Quote

Its a shame really as people are paying £40k for a performance car and it doesn't even sound like one. The sound is part of the experience! But as you said, an aftermarket exhaust is an option. Quote

Does anyone know roughly how much Nissan dealers pay for a standard, GT or Nismo 370z? thank you I got a new 370Z GT for £26,000 three months ago, discounted from £32,000. Friend of mine works for Nissan and he can supply one car a year at employee rates. Not sure if it helps but perhaps a guide. Quote
