Hey Roger's92accord..Idea!@

hey hey!


I see that you live in houston, and are saving up for a Spec-v... I live in houston too!!

ok before you freak out.. All i'm gonna ask is, when did you plan on buying one? do you wanna buy the cars at the same time?? together?? Cuz i'm betting that we could make a better deal if we bought two at once. That's two sales, and I know how salesmen work sorta. hehe, I bet if we work it right, we could get a decked out Spec-V for base price. What do you think?

What do the rest of you guys think?? Think it's worth a shot? :silly2:

oh.. the Name's Andrew, gimme a holla, AIM is "Fu Man Dru" if you use it. Let's talk!

I think teaming up is a good idea. As long as you can find a dealership that has two or more spec v's. A salesman will certainly try a little harder to earn two sales instead of just one.

As far as prices go... Here is a real world example. The sticker price on mine was $17618. I paid $16700. Invoice on mine is $16142. See autoworld.com for invoice pricing. I am sure others have gotten better deals, but I think I did fine. If I wasn't so picky, I probably could have done better. If you are open to different colors or options, you will be able to get a better price off of the MSRP.

I am sort of an expert on car sales, though I will admit I have not done it myself. I do have friends who have though... If you are interested, here are a couple of things I have learned that may help you get a better price.

1.) Do your research before you shop. Check the internet to see what the Invoice prices are on the vehicle and the optional accesories. For example, the invoice on a spec v is $15543 plus 540 for delivery. I gather the price has increased 200 on the Nissan website though. Invoice on the audio is like $599, and the sunroof is $699. Floor mats are $59, etc...
2.) Always negotiate, and don't shop at a "One Price dealer".
3.) Make an offer at the end of the month. Most salesman are on monthly commission and quota's, and are usually itching at the end of the month to get one or two extra sales to earn that bonus, or meet their quota. They, and their bosses will be a little more likely to give you a better price.
4.) Always pit one dealer against another. Shop around and see how many their are in the region. Then, call a dealership out of town. If they have what you are looking for, tell them that you are interested in a local car, but you think you can get a better price by shopping around the area. Tell them that you found a dealer near you who quoted you a great price. If the Invoice is $17215 (Audio fanatic, sunroof, and floor mats), tell them you got a quote of $17500. Ask them if they can match or beat that price. If they won't do it, then chances are nobody will beat the price. So pick another dealership and start over with a little higher price. Once you find a dealership willing to meet your nice (but so far fictional) price, then have it made. Take down the name of the salesman (first and last), and the name of the dealership. Then stop by your local dealership. Tell them you found a great deal at XYZ Nissan in Corpus Christi, or whatever the name of the dealership is. Tell them you talked to John Smith or whoever. Tell them they told you they would sell you the vehicle for $17500 or whatever the price was, but that you would rather keep your business nearby. If they can beat that price, you will purchase from them. You get the idea... start with a low fictional price and find a dealer out of town that will "match" that price. Then you have a real price to take to another local dealer. Chances are they will go much lower if they think they can steal a sale from a competitor.
4.) When you negotiate, start at the invoice price and negotiate up, don't start at the MSPR and try to negotiate down.
5.) The spec V is a hard to find car, and many dealers are trying to get MSRP on because of that. Don't get discouraged, you may not get the car at invoice, but you definitly won't have to pay full sticker price. also, keep in mind that dealers make a little on the side with something called a holdback.. usually 300 bucks or so, so don't let a dealer tell you that he isn't makeing ANY money on the deal.

Sup fu man dru! I think it's a good idea if we get our cars at the same time. I was thinking of getting one around august. what about U? Where do you live? Im near katy (i-10 & hwy 6). I used to live in alief but recently moved. The only dealer i have gone to is the nissan dealer on I-10 and dairy ashford. I know if we both go, we can get a good ass price, especially at the end of the month. Let me know what's up, my AIM is (RogerAlexH). I was thinking the same thing, except I want a red or blue spec v with nismo wing, kit, rims .I like black too, but my accord is black and i kinda want a color that stands out this time.
