I'm guessing your car looks like this. Correct?

Yep, there she is, rims and all. (plus spoiler/tint. Awaiting delivery on spoiler) I'll take pictures once it's finished.

+1 with the candor and rep; you can chalk this one up as "life's lessons". Sitting in the car, tired and exhausted - people should not try to make a decision with this much money at stake based on emotions.

Lord only knows how much I've done that in the market. :icon14:

I wasn't bashing on you; just the salesman saying "truck" and the process. Congrats on the purchase, welcome to the forum, and get driving already, eh? :D

This is against the law to have incorrect mileage on it. While the difference is only 231 miles, I'd insist that they correct it. God forbid something happens 200mi past your warranty and they stick it to ya. And knowing this dealer and their sloppy bookkeeping, it wouldn't surprise me.

Good deal?

I paid a lil over 34k for sport pkg, auto, kick pl, spl grds, mats, backupcam/homelink and flat-bedded from houston with 7 miles. I wouldn't call your deal terrible. But you didn't go in knowing everything you needed to know. You are learning after the fact. Its ok though. Live and learn. When dealing for sports cars, you can't go in telling them what you want and what you want to pay without knowing certain facts. Those facts can be found here. People have gotten about $1000 less than me for the same car. But usually, they didn't have the camera and the flatbed shipped car. And they definately don't live in the texas "rape a custy for a Z" region.
If you ever trade or buy a new Z again? You are now a member of this forum and you won't get bamboozled by ahole salesmen again.

I paid about the same as you ($33.5k) for basically the same thing, minus the backup camera. I couldn't negotiate as killer of a deal as I wanted to because they had to flat bed the car about 450 miles for me. I got exactly what I wanted so it's all good.

It's only money... ;)

:iagree:

I was able to get mine for roughly 31.5k after I got my tax money back. Tags/title office said that since I was deployed it was tax free once i submitted supporting documents (deployment orders). other wise it would have been about 33.5 as well.

He acted as if this "in between" style looked kinda like this;

Are these stock rims? Because mine do not look like that.

He also said the car was delivered on a truck and had 12 miles on it. But when I fired it up it had 250 miles on it. My sales receipt also says 19 miles. What the hell is going on here? Did they mix up my Z with somebody elses or something?


********.Regardless of the rims, this is ********. Would not have ever even cranked that car. The factory DOES put miles on the car to test them for rattles, etc. and GM even can do a 10-30 mile or so test-drive in the cars. I don't know about Nissan.

What I DO! know is they do NOT do 250 miles of testing.

RunNgun 09-27-2011 09:49 AM

Some may have missed this, but I actually google mapped directions from my dealership to the dealership of origin, and it came up as 225 miles. This means they actually just drove my car down, and put an extra 25 miles on it between loading it on the truck, driving it around back to get detailed, and taking it to the gas station for a free tank of gas. The only question is why did the salesman lie about it being truck delivered? I'm not too concerned with it. He either wanted to impress me for some reason, or simply made a mistake. I think it's safe to say my car was not a demo unit or any kids redlining it down the freeway for thrills.

Anyway it's a nice little project car for me now. Many planned upgrades, the first of which being an android tablet install where the dashboard storage compartment is. Probably wont be finished until christmas but I'll make sure to post it here since nobody seems to have done this to a Z yet.

Between 5 and 11 miles is common in nissan. Import convert, you still haven't bought a Z? Lol. Did you ever convert?
