Anyone had any luck getting a Z in FL?

Area markup? I have my paperwork right in front of me for the deposit I put down last saturday that breaks down all the charges--- there is no mention of an area markup. I'm just down I4 in Orlando. Sounds like they are blowing smoke.

The whole reason I stopped talking to Courtesy is because they were being shady in regards to pricing with me. I asked them to clearify where their numbers were coming from and they stopped talking to me.

Did you shop around?

Well I paid 35k for the Track if that helps. It listed at 39k. That was the sticker. The other Nissan dealers didn't have the cars in my area. Plus I wanted the Super Black Track which they had with the Charcoal interior. I am hearing alot of different dealers freaking marking them up like mad. It sucks that Nissan lets the dealer do that. I will dig up my exact info for you later and email it to you. Hopefully it will help you get a better deal.

I hate to break it to you man, but $34k is list on the track---with options and stuff $35k seems about right. I don't know where you got the $39k is what it is listed at--- but take a look at kbb.com or even nissandriven.com.

My contract is written up at $28k for the Enthusiast. Adding options adds a few pennies, but the price on the options is the exact same on kbb and nissan's website.

I think they were trying to make you feel all warm and fuzzy about getting some great deal when all you got was retail. Again, this is the reason why I didn't want to deal with Courtesy.

Well even if I paid retail...it was still worth every penny. I love this car. It is just a blast to drive. I was going to pre-order but I had a lease that I wasn't coming up until next year..then all of a sudden a friend wanted to buy it so I got the Track they just had in. I do know other dealers where marked up even more..which is nuts.

Oh I don't think you overpaid. But I think they misled you into thinking you were getting a better deal than you actually were. Like I said, they tried to tell me what "Sticker" price was. When the price they gave me didn't match any other info listed anywhere else---even Nissan I asked them to explain where they got their figures. When they did and gave me a break down the numbers they gave me STILL total the price they gave me. There was about a $350 discrepancy.

This is the reason I started this thread. There are a number of dealers that are very honest and upfront. And finding the good ones that are offering good prices isn't easy.

I agree with that. Lots of dealers are just being jerks with marking the car up so much. I don't think the markups are as bad as the Honda S2k when it hit the market. Have you driven the car yet ? I know most dealers will not even let you drive it.
