Would you buy a new 370z that has been in a minor accident?

Tell them no, and then see what back pedaling they do. At least $2K under invoice.

I would be concerned about hidden damage to the differential, axle, drive-shaft and transmission. Warranty doesn't guarantee coverage because the damage was caused by abuse. Not your abuse, but they don't care!

Good point, also if they did a report up and it never left the dealership then Nissan wouldnt know about it. All parts that are replaced by the dealership under warrenty, has to go to the head office/factory of Nissan to get looked at. That being said, if the report did go to the Nissan head office they would have made a report and therefore will most liking show up on carfax or some other system that the car has been in a accident. Dealerships cant control that whether they say it or not.

So if the dealership said it wont show up on carfax or any other system is bs and also if the dealership made a deal with you that they will replace parts under warrenty if it was caused by the accident that arent coverd under warrenty due to abuse then Nissan office wont accept the warrenty work....either you will have to pay for it or the dealership will have to pay for it.

Not saying this WILL happen but its something to think about.
