recommend 15k mi service?

There is value in having your Z serviced and entered into the Nissan database by your Nissan Service Department for the potential of warranty determinations in the future.

Not to mention resale value. You can save $20/hour by going to a local shop instead of a dealer for warranty work, but you'll pay dearly when you trade the vehicle or sell it. Those dealer stamps are worth their weight in gold.

I'm sure that is your experience but I've traded in probably 10 cars over the years, including a Cadillac, an Audi, a Saab, a Nissan Altima, a Chrysler Imperial, a Honda Accord, etc., and never, ever once has the new car salesman asked to see my service records. I recall being particularly conscientious with the Audi (at a high cost as Audi service departments are very pricey) and tried to present those complete Audi service department service certifications as a bargaining tool for a larger trade-in allowance for the Audi at the purchase on the new car. The salesman just blew it off and wouldn't even take the time to let me go over them with him. Often, I think, trade-ins are just taken to the auto auction and the dealership doesn't care about seeing service records. Often, also, used car buyers are too unsophisticated and don't inquire about service records certified by the franchise. It may mean a lot, though, if you are selling the car privately, as it provides assurance to the private buyer that the car has been well cared for.

yep, ive been buying new cars every year for over a decade and not one time they asked for the sales record either for the trade.

dealer will tell you to bring your car in for service and try to get you on your toes if you dont maintain it "properly" so that they can make some money off your arse. most dealers make money from servicing cars, not so much selling them. those of you who are anal about taking your cars to the dealer for service is kinda getting tricked. you probably wont even get a ASE certified technician to do your oil change. they will give you a porter or some part-timer that just got off work at jiffylube.
