Haha I can't wait to move! So did you buy your car from Briggs in Manhattan? If so who was your dealer, how much did you pay, and were they tough to negotiate with?

Sorry for the bombardment of questions lol, I might be buying from there.

Yes. I bought it from Briggs in Manhattan. I was actually living in Chicago at the time but knew I was going to be moving back to Kansas. I e-mailed several dealerships in northeast Kansas, and the guy who worked in the internet sales at Briggs was an acquaintance from college. The people at Briggs were really nice, they seemed honest, and they seemed straight forward. The internet guy I worked with was moving on and so a guy named CJ, at the dealership, finalized everything when I went to pick it up. He seems pretty cool.

I would also recommend approaching dealers through their internet sales. I've read that those departments typically have different incentives than the people on the sales floor.

I basically bought a yellow manual with every option except the nav system and paid about $1,000 under MSRP. It ended up around $41,000 after tax, title, and fees. I started looking in April of 09 and picked it up in mid-May. I probably didn't get as good a deal as most people but I was more concerned about getting the color and options than the lowest price. I was a little nervous that yellow cars were becoming harder to find by that point in the year. If I'm going to spend this much money, I have no problem spending a little more to get exactly what I want.

Yellow is the hottest color! Get a used one so that you can get yellow!

The 370Z is pure sex! It is hot, loud, and rough!

Considering Chicane yellow has been discontinued since 2010 models, it IS a rare color.
