When I decided to buy the Z instead of the M1 coupe... I went toa total of 4 Stealerships and they said they can not and will not let me test drive a Z,
( Click to show/hide )
even if they had one on the lot. They made up so many excuses such as: "We can't let you cause we can't put too many kms on a new car" "You got to order one from Japan first." "You have to put down a down payment." "we can't let you test drive that one cause it's the manager's car" BLAAH BLAAH BLAHH.....

I was like... Seriously?! "No problem i can put down a down payment of how much you want" "So you expect me to buy the car without a test drive or seeing it?" "man its just a nissan." wtf??

Last stealership(at this point I was about to reconsider) I went to was the one in burnaby where I met a sales associate who was pretty chill and talked to the manager for a while and i got a test drive in a black auto Z.

Everyone treated me like if i was some punk *** kid who just wana joyride... Slapped a bank draft down and ordered/bought a brand new 2012 pw sport pkg/navi.

Sorry about the rant. I'm pretty sure if you're in my shoes u would be pissed.
When I was shopping for the 370z last year I got no test drive either, it's not because they don't let me, it's because they don't have any..!!

Some they do have one in the lot but it was an ordered thus it was sold.

Yup, no test drive, I still order mine cos I like the Z, I was driving a 350 at that time and I was happy thus I believe the 370 is better thus I go for it.


As for loaner, in Toronto, they don't have a loaner or rental unless you bought the extended-warranty, then they give you a rental when the car needs a 3 hours job.

The business manager told me they claim all those expanses from Nissan Canada thus they'll get the money back, but they have to follow the policy from the HQ.

BMW Canada...??? I used to drive a BMW and the BMW dealer in here is like a slaughter... charge you arm&leg and provide shitty service, they always say they have loaner and you can reserve one, but there were so many time I have reserved one and eventually they told me they don't have any... WTF

My friend's mom has a X1 and one of the tires got a puncture not long ago... she brought it to the BMW dealer and got charged $700+ to change JUST ONE tire, yup, just ONE TIRE

The dealer claimed because it costs the most for them to order just one tire, and it is run-flat, blah blah blah... blah blah blah....

And the worst part is my friend's mom fall into that... yup, $700+ for one single tire.... from a BMW dealership in Toronto....

I got similar attitude from BMW dealer before thus I am not going back to those BMW-slaughter-house anymore.
