wait.....free spoiler thrown in? the sports package COMES with the spoiler.....

with that sticker price. it sounds like you got the base model (cloth interior) with sports package. which is what i got....and that's a decent deal....but the sales guy was definitely pulling your leg on some things.

Sorry but you really sound like you don't know what you bought. Who buys a car without understanding the packages available? Take a picture of your car and we can tell you what it is lol.

Good deal?

No, not a good deal. Congrats on the Z but if you don't even have the common sense to research and actually know what you're buying, best of luck to you. :shakes head:

RunNgun, did the dealer show you that pic above when you were buying the car? Did they the sales guy tell you that's what you were getting?

Plunking down several tens of thou $$$ on a car, I expect the mileage to be low, preferably in the teens.

If more than 50 miles at purchase, I think: dealer's pet car, demo/test car - in any case, someone driving a car that isn't theirs; I know I'm not too gentle with rentals, especially high performance ones... :p

Plus the salesman says this:

Should NOT be 200+ miles if it got delivered on a truck. BS.

Did you bring up the mileage issue when you took delivery?

This is when most people would walk away and not sign the paperwork.

Rone 09-26-2011 06:10 PM

Yeah I immediately noticed the discrepancy, but I had been through so much haggling between 3 different dealers I was exhausted. I was sitting in the car just as I wanted it, everything looked legit about it, so I just broke down and said "**** it" basically. I figured the sales guy made a harmless mistake on assuming the car was truck delivered. Afterall the mileage on it was consistent with it being driven from the other dealership. I also assumed he probably just isnt too familiar with the Z and didnt know what he was talking about when he claimed a certain type of rims came with a stock model. It wouldnt be the first time I knew more about the car than a dealer.

As far as me being an idiot and not knowing what I was buying, well I approached this deal from a different vantage point this time. Rather than browsing the lot and talking about what I wanted, I came in knowing exactly what kind of car I wanted and what I wanted to pay. I basically told them to make it fit however possible. I said I wanted A B C with X Y Z features and nothing else. They gave me what I wanted. I did not expressly request a sports package but I sorta ended up with a quasi version of one since I really wanted the spoiler to compliment the car.

Anyway I'll admit I'm not the most savvy car buyer, but I'm getting better. This is only my 3rd car :) Last time I paid sticker price like a goon with no negotiating lol. Oh well live n' learn. I've already expressed outrage for being manipulated at my last dealer and that I will never shop there again. We'll see how the new one treats me.

I guess it could be worse, I paid less for the same car in M6 and less miles. Good luck with it break it in properly.

Ignore all the posters who lack compassion for your situation and slammed you. They have never made any mistakes themselves so they are justified. If you have the sport package after all, then good job -- even if you did not intend to get it.

Let's see some pictures and welcome.

+1 rep for you for your candor.
