I drove 10 miles
 

I drove over to check them out, saw a red one in base with spoiler package, and bought it two months later

That's hysterical! The Pittsburgh area dealers wouldn't even negotiate with me when I proposed my no trade, cash offer that I figured was more than $1,000 under invoice (OTD) for a new '09 in November '09. But two large dealerships in suburban DC fought over me for that deal and the more accommodating one got my business. I guess it's all in the timing but the outcome is all that matters.

Actually I went to Easton, PA which I just found out is actually pretty far from Pittsburgh :p

I was looking for a used one though so it was more about which dealership had one I wanted for the lowest price. They had it listed at $28k initially and I offered $27k, but they said no. All of a sudden I see on Autotrader they dropped it to $26k so I told them I would be there to pick it up that weekend. It may have had something to do with the big snow storm that weekend :)

:icon17:
Only the complete opposite side of the state. :p

I hope you took a detour and headed to cigars international in Bethlehem on your trek! :tup:

I didn't realize Pittsburgh was on the other side of the state till I looked it up on Google Maps.

Also, new $25k car + first RWD car + snow storm + 150 mile drive = going straight home and no time for detours. I've never heard of that place and I don't smoke so it probably wouldn't have mattered anyway.

I did see the sign for Scranton, PA. I was so surprised that it was an actual town and not just some made up place from The Office. If I made a detour, that would have been it.

Frankly, the monthly car payment and surrendering my beloved project car was quite enough.

Yeah, PA snow is not fun in a Z. Just thought I'd throw the CI thing out there.

Funny re: comments about Scranton. No one from outside the area ever heard of the place until The Office came along. :icon17: Their "on location shots" always have sunshine and palm trees in the background. Proof that they are NOT in Scranton! :rolleyes:

i was driving home from work in my 05 350 when i looked to my right and there
it set an 09 37O MB. talk about an impulse buy.it was 1:30 in the afternoon
at 5 it was sitting in my garage.anyway 25 miles..........

I was lucky that the snow wasn't sticking to the ground or else I would have really been screwed. Also it wasn't snowing in MD, just PA and DE.

I was so tempted to take the Scranton exit and search for the Dunder Mifflin building. :rofl2:

drove a back breaking 25 miles to get my Z. And I didnt drive it myself home. Told my brother to pick it up =)

Picked mine up on the southern coast of South Carolina. I live in Minneapolis. I got a good deal, and I fly for free, so I basically got a nice road trip out of the deal..

I lucked out. I absolutely had to get a Montery Blue 370z with sports package and manual transmission (this was a hard to find combination). I was lucky as I ended up getting it at Riverside, CA (about 20 miles away).

When my dad got his Daytona Blue 350z (also had similar requirements, manual transmission, etc..) we drove all the way up to Northern California (350 miles or so one way) to get his 350Z, heh.
