hm...
i would have to say that you didn't get a good deal at all.

i got mine 05 black/ebony TL w/ navi 3 months ago for 35000 OTD. that's about 32000 + TTL.

i suppose it could be more if you are financing it...but it shouldn't be that much off.

i don't think u can return it...once u drove it out the dealer lot, it's an used car.

good luck.

not in california, law here states that if you pay and leave it... it's yours. you might be able to sell it back, but you'll lose 3000-5000 right off the back so it's not worth it. when I bought my TL, I checked every board I could looking for the best price i could find. I eventually got my WDP/parchment/navi/5AT for 32700 +fees.

Prices vary by location. 4 out 5 dealers in my area let me walk out rather than special order a car for me for $33000.

Don't worry about it. You got it for $2200 off sticker -- that's great!

Congratulations on your new car! All that matters is that you're happy with it. Be sure to post some pictures for us.

I just bought a SSM/Ebony Navi for $31,600 from Santa Monica acura including delivery fees and mud flaps. Unfortunately it is a little late for you to be second guessing. You should have been better prepared and asked these questions before you drove off the lot. Now.... be Zen, be happy...

What is wrong with you man? You shop the price before you buy the car, not afterwards.

NOW, just sit back and enjoy the ride instead off making yourself bad when you cannot change it. Concentrate on the performance and you will forget about the price, it is in the past. Think about the future.

Congratulations on your new ride.

First, welcome to the board, cowyaoman. You may have found us a little late, but at least you did. All you can do is to settle in, learn about your new car from your colleagues here, and enjoy the fact that you got $2200 off MSRP. Don't worry about the deal now that it's done, just enjoy the car.

If it sounds like this is coming from someone who paid MSRP, that's because I did pay MSRP. But I was one of the first to buy the car when it was released, so at the time it was the price of entry.

I think you did OK and you bought a good car. Learn a lesson or two though for next time. If you change new cars every year you are going to lose your ass period. Makes no diference how good a price you get. And somebody somewhere will always tell you that they just got theirs for $100 less no matter what.

Thanks guys... I feel the love...

well I centainly did not get the best deal... but Nissan is going to give me more than $4000 back because I bought the GAP option when I purchased my 04 Nissan... so after the trade in I only spent a little more over $4000 to get the new 05 TL... consider I've driven the Z for 2 years.... so I was very happy....

thanks again guys... you guys are great!
