Joordn Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Hello...! Ive been looking at the 350z and 370z for years and I'm finally in a position to buy one! I want to get a 370z asap now... I went to a Nissan garage today and was only offered a 4% discount off a low mileage 370z...cash buyer.... I was targeting more like 10%... What do you think? Thanks!

Aliensurfer Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Why should being a cash buyer make any difference? Do you normally buy things with magic beans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve916 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Why should being a cash buyer make any difference? Do you normally buy things with magic beans? The days of cash buying for discount, I thought were in the past now. People used to give a big discount for paying with cash, as they wouldn't put it through the books, therefore paying no income tax on it. I wouldn't think a car can be sneakily hidden from the taxman nowadays though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aliensurfer Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 ^ I know As others have said, shop around. There are plenty out there to be had and certainly look for those for sake on here. If the dealer isn't giving you what you want, walk away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I forgot to add, we had a 13 plate GT Edition in the workshop yesterday and the owner got an amazing deal over list price, so deals can be done, we were all stunned by the deal we heard yesterday...

Joordn Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 Thanks for the replies! I'll keep shopping around, seems like there are deals to be had... I need to be patient but I really just want to get one now! Yeah I didn't think cash buyer had any benefit, they get commission from financing I guess.

ioneabee Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 also use one garage against the other ie he's offering this, what can you add to that etc etc (its what i did and managed to get carpets mats and a tank full of fuel as the final clincher) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samsniss350z Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 just try a few more dealers as i'm sure there are a few who are down on their figres and would be happy to offer some sort of discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Hello and Good luck with your search. This may or may not have something to do with the offer (I have never worked in car sales), but you enquired about a deal at the start of a month with 2 bank holidays. I imagine car sales are highest on weekends and public holidays and you also asked at the beginning of the month. Might be worth asking near the end of the month (when monthly sales targets are needing to be met). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliveBoy Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Might be worth asking near the end of the month (when monthly sales targets are needing to be met). Having had a very brief stint in car sales, I can confirm that this is correct, and they also make far more commission off of finance deals. Offering cash isn't an incentive when the dealer has to report to Nissan which cars they have sold and for how much. Good luck and welcome though!
