For those ready to buy a 370/other new Nissan or Infiniti Vehicle

AshburnZ · 05-10-2009, 10:06 PM

Just wondering if this is still going on, as I am looking to get one of these within a few weeks. I will send a PM. Thanks in advance if it is!

Robert_Nash · 05-14-2009, 09:58 PM

Yes...still going on; through June 30th.

Robert_Nash · 05-14-2009, 10:02 PM

Folks; I owe someone an apology...my problem is that I don't know who!

Someone (female I believe) emailed me at my personal email address regarding this program and I inadvertently deleted her email before responding...I believe someone familiar with this thread but I'm not sure if she herself has read this thread or not.

I just finished up the requests I had waiting so if anyone is still waiting on a reply from me and hasn't received one yet, please PM or email me again.

If someone here referred someone to me; you might want to check with them to see if they've received a reply from me and if they haven't; please ask them to write again.

Thanks!

Don't know if I missed it posted already but will these apply to the NISMO if it's out in time (and the dealer participates)?

The only Nissan or Infiniti vehicle the VPP program cannot be used for is the GT-R; every other vehicle is in the mix.

However, it is totally voluntary on the Dealer's part...some dealers won't participate at all on any vehicle; some will participate on, say, a Maxima but not on a 370, etc.

However, I believe if you call around, you'll find a dealer who will participate on whatever you want to buy although for anything in high demand; you may have to work a little harder at it to find a dealer who'll work with you.

I was wondering if it was an all-or-nothing type plan. Ford used to have an A plan that was like that. Thanks for the info!

The countdown is now at 168 hours ... (until pickup; pearl white / persimmon / 7AT

Robert's VPP pricing plan saved me a few hundred dollars over the best-possible numbers I was getting from overstock.com. Because of the way the program works, the dealer makes more money and the car doesn't cut into his Z allocation (if there is one).

If you have a salesman who says "no", re-confirm with his manager. Then run a build on overstock.com, and you'll find dealers in your neighborhood who are already committed to some discounting ... and want your business.

Thanks again, Robert!

Hi Robert - what happens after June 30th? Does the program end?

Robert_Nash · 05-15-2009, 06:16 PM

The VPP program always exists but usually I can only issue a handfull of numbers per year (including any I use for myself)

Robert, in this area where, as you know, there's a Nissan dealer in every village, I have yet to find a Nissan dealer who is not willing to take the VPP on a 370Z. One dealer emphasized, though: "Since the 370Z is still a high-volume model, we won't be willing to take any off beyond that."

Last night, I asked the sales guy and he said, "Sure! And if you forget your certificate, I can fix you up with one myself." (He was going for your lottery number!)

By the time we left, his conscience had got the best of him. He brought it up: "Now, if you want to use your friend's certificate, I want to encourage you to do that rather than using mine."

Just wanted to say thanks to Robert -- I picked up my Z last week. I'm loving it!! The program allowed me to get the fully loaded one in the showroom. Thanks again!!

FlashBazbo · 05-16-2009, 07:34 PM

Thanks, Robert! The whole process went very easy and smooth. My Z comes home Monday morning!

That's great! Will you be at ZDayZ this year? http://www.zdayz.com/

Check out the Middle Tennessee Z club as well: http://www.middletennesseezclub.com/

FlashBazbo · 05-16-2009, 09:40 PM

I won't be at ZDayZ. Previous commitments. Looks very cool. Incidentally, at work we had five guys in town from Aruba last week. To my surprise, they all knew about the Tail of the Dragon and they all were disappointed we didn't have time to go.

I will have to look further into the Middle Tennessee Z Club.

Sorry you won't be there but the road is there all year.

There is another group I "hang out" with that are general sports car enthusiasts and we try to organize at least one ride a month...since most of them are in the Knoxville area the Dragon get's a lot of our attention!

You can find the group here: SportsCarFrenzy - Home
