the car was 38k invoice, 42,500 msrp, salesman at reed nissan told me it had sports package... since it was the only 370 sitting there, i couldnt see a sports package in the lot to compare so i didnt know and i was in a hurry, so i tried to negotiate, they said it was a 2009 so they wouldnt come down on the price not even a bit so i said forget it, signed it and drove it off, now that i registered for this forum, i see that i got raped for the sport package part, but ohwell, to save the trouble of going back, im gonna mod it so it dont make a difference

aha .. I see what happened. That's why I always tell people to research before buying a car. Just curious, does it say sports package in the window sticker?

I see your point about modding the car and you're obviously in a position where $3,000 won't break the bank, but not every consumer is in that position. I would atleast call him. You don't have to ruffle any feathers. Just let him know he made a mistake. It's possible it may have been inadvertent. Between rims, a body kit and all that other stuff you will probably be spending about $3,000. Maybe he can make the price adjustment without you being present.

This situation is obviously as important as you feel it is, but you should get what you paid for or pay the correct price for what you got. It's not even about the $3,000. It's about the principle and the trust a consumer should expect from a dealership. Again, even if you are not stressing the money at the very least you can save someone else from going through the same thing if they buy from him.

you have your point, let me go B**** out the salesman one of these days and get them to give me their gt-r for invoice hehe

Regardless of your future plans for mods, you should definately go back and complain and get some money back for a lack of the sport options (or at least from what we can tell from a photo someone at least swapped out the wheels/tires). It's a matter of principal to not do something when a grievous error or con job was performed.

If the better brakes, wheels, and limited slip differential are not important to you then getting a refund may be acceptable, otherwise they need to be finding you a replacement car.

Not sure if you drove the mercedes to to dealer or not, but if you did and you told them the Z was to be your daily beater, then they may have identified you and an easy mark and took advantage of you. Walking away once without purchasing may have softened them up some.

But congrats anyway on your new Z. Have fun!

Yes, boosteeddc, with base you do not have the LSD, lightweight forged wheels, Bigger AKEBONO brakes etc... I would at least call them and see what they say. Keep us posted, man. If they give you hard time, let me know. I can always send an email to Nissan Corporate
