:facepalm: let me guess... this guy didn't even know how to drive a manual :shakes head:

Haha most likely, or he REALLY needed to meet his quota. I mean if someone walks into your dealer and wants a 6MT, Sport + Touring + Nav- why would you suggest a base 7AT and proceed to say it's "more fun"...

No joke... with how few manuals are even offered in cars these days, if you find someone walking in specifically looking for one, you know you've got a good chance at a sale. Telling them an AT is better = death to the sale :ugh2:

Called the Nissan Service while my Car was stranded with a broken SLU.



Service Guy: What engine do you have?
Me: Uhm, it's a 370Z.? A 3.7 Litre V6.

Service Guy: Thanks, is it a Diesel or a Petrol Model?
Me: :icon08:

Towards the end of 2011 my Z had an ECU problem. At that point no one knew it was the ECU. To make long story short, they performed a fuel test. Results came back, they were saying "I filled up my gas tank with diesel more than once".
I said "Wow, Nissan is really doing wonders with the engines." "So you are telling me I have been using diesel instead of gasoline?"
They said "yes you have"
I said "No wonder why I'll be getting about 700 miles between fillups"
and the engine was running just fine the whole time. I was getting a CEL for no reason until the ECU got replaced.

Had the sales guy tell me the standard touring model came with the LSD and that Nissan "fixed" the overheating oil issue. He told me what I wanted to hear and that was his mistake. I knew exactly what was on the car just by glancing at it. I just wanted to know how full of $hit this guy was.

I wanted the car so I bullied the crap out of them until they knocked 8.5k off sticker. When the managers start getting pissed, you know you are getting a better than average deal.

A relevant question in Switzerland.

Should've told him its the plug-in electric hybrid model....:tup:

Once I was test driving a Z with sports package. While driving I was like "what is this button?" (referring to the sports button to activate SRM) and the dealer said "It's to activate the sports mode, basically it goes faster, like you press it if you have to pass someone quickly, but it consumes more fuel..". Me :wtf:

Apparently, because our 7AT's share paddles with the GTR, we have the same transmission.

My hometown's Nissan dealership is one of the "special" ones in class.

:bowrofl::roflpuke2::bowrofl:

Me: How much for that silver Nismo (new)?
Sales guy: *crazy price*
Me: Ummmm...(I start looking at a MB SP 370Z there and KBB it with 2700 miles)
Me: How much for this 370Z?
Sales guy: 30k
Me: (I look at my phone and KBB says 34k+ with current condition and miles)
Me: You sure?
Sales guy: yep!
Me: Sold!

"Yes we can add the factory nav to the base 370Z configuration."

"With $20k down and financing $10k your payments are $395/mo for six years. That includes GAP insurance and a waranty to dry clean your seats for you."

"You don't like 22% interest rate? How about 17%? No? How about 9.99%?"

:icon18:


wait so you mean buying my Z on my 29.9% credit card was a bad idea?? :roflpuke2:

They were charging me for pin stripes...:shakes head:
