HELP...2010 CPO 370z. PAINT/TOP/LOST CONTRACT ISSUES!!!

Reds370z · 10-25-2013, 07:56 PM

Bought a supposedly CPO 2010 Nissan 370z Touring Convertible w/ Sports package on 9/30/13. I once owned a Nissan Fairlady when I was stationed in Okinawa Japan. Never forgot that car till this day.

Issue#1 Convertible top had to be replaced. Airplane wires were tearing through the top. Top would get stuck midway opening and closing...SUCKED!!! My Nissan Dealer (Hooman) has replaced the top and is waiting on one piece to complete the job. Hooman rocks!

Issue#2 Upon having the car detailed by a friend that owns his own detail/body shop, he informed me that the car had been repainted. The front hood, trunk, and convertible top cover had been repainted. The car is originally red but now I see the distinct difference in color. The repainted area are an orangish red and do not match the rest of the car. The car was parked in the shade when I went to look at it. I took it to a 5 star body shop and they informed me that there are dimples, orange peel effect, and over spray on the unpainted area of the car.

Issue#3 The selling dealership called me last w/e and said that Chase bank lost my contract and that I need to come in and re-sign. I'm no dummy. I work in Law Enforcement.

I called Nissan NA who was no help and refused to answer my question of: "Would this car fit the criteria of Nissan CPO as set be the standards of Nissan Corporation?" All they would say is to call the dealer.

Anyhoo, I emailed the dealer re: my concerns on Tuesday and no response yet. They are a new dealership that took over Miller Nissan that had a "HORRIBLE" reputation esp. on YELP.

Question...have any of you had a similar experience. What would you do??? Thanks for any advice.

you need to find out if any bumper to bumper warranty was left in the car, 3 years 36k miles from the date of the first buyers purchase, dealer can give you that info.. the cpo as far as i know only cover the extension of power train not bumper to bumper and your convertible is part of the bumper to bumper.

you need to find out that if nissan will allow certified car to be painted, some manufactures will not allowed the car to be painted and to be certified.
find out why was it painted?? did it have a bad car fax, was it done by dealer or by previous owner.. it is hard to do anything with that since you already bought the car and you could have checked into all those paint issues..
since you are going back to resign that will be a good opportunity for you to get out of the deal if you really don't want it or maybe compensate you for something.. i will test them and see what they say..

good luck

Shawnski...B2B still in effect... that is paying for the new top. Nothing on CARFAX at all re: accidents/paint etc. Nissan North America WILL NOT answer my question so I know it's BS and would not be allowed. Seems to me like CPO is just a selling gimmick. Thanks for your response.

I still will talk to GM of the dealership about the paint situation and get some answer.. forget about calling Nissan..

CPO is a gimmick, and it covers only the drivetrain. Hire a lawyer

Oh, and CarFax is the biggest gimmick of all

Next time, call me or the friend you have that owns a body shop
