I went in to the local dealership for a quote on installing my rear diff, and the first words from the service MANAGER's mouth was, " I dont even know if we have the tools or ability to do all that". So i gave him my info and left. Not a good feeling they are compitent Techs's.

First guy I tried to buy a Z from was extremely cocky. Every word that came out of his mouth was crazy fast and you could barely understand or keep up with whatever he was going on about. He was trying to sell a base Z touring for 37.5k and no matter how much I tried to negotiate with him he wouldn't lower "his" price. I did take a test drive though, and the guy was basically tweeting and facebooking the whole time. I got his attention though when I maxed out the volume on the radio station. Guy almost had a heart attack. He wasn't serious about making deal cause I was like 22 I suppose and thought I didn't have the money, so...

I upped and left and found another dealer that gave me a deal with the same package for around 29k which was about the cheapest price for a low mileage Z in south Louisiana. Even got a free paint job to cover up any dents on the car. It's so shiny now you might wanna lick it to see if it taste like candy

When I first started looking at Z's, I went to a local dealer to look at this 350z (This was in 09). It was used and I was 20. I must have gotten the most douchey saleman on the lot. He and another guy was riding around on a golf cart. I asked if I could test drive the car and he said "Well..... are you going to buy it?". I told him that I was seriously looking at purchasing a Z, and that I have never driven one. So it would really depend on the test drive. The guy said "Well if your serious, lets go inside and get some paperwork going. Then, we can drive it." WTF. Im not buying a car that I havent driven...

When I walked in to buy my Z, the manager said I'll never afford the car... 3 hours later I burned rubber in his face as I left the dealership with my shiny new car.

Just this January my wife and I walked into (did not drive into) an out-of-town Chevy dealer and asked to test drive a $73,000 2014 Corvette convertible. The salesman handed us the keys and told us where to take it to "open it up". We came back and then test drove a $78,000 2014 Premier Edition Corvette.
Get this, they only had my name verbally.
Deciding not to drop the coin on a Vette, we went to the home town Nissan dealer (in my wifes 2013 535i BMW) to test drive a 2014 370Z. I had to produce license, proof of insurance, and then my wife couldn't go on the test ride cause the salesman had to go.

That is takes 6 hours to install a new horn unit. Bullshît Nissan

Crushed my oil pan, stupid mistake. Got a new pan and pick up over nighted and the car towed to the dealer. Told the head tech what needed to be done and gave them the box of parts. He took them out, looked and asked what they were. My confidence was pretty low after that

Salesman: ".... we can't dealer locate what you want in Perl White, but we did find one in Nismo White. We can make the deal today!!!"

Me: "Nismo White? You mean a 370Z Nismo in Perl White?? I'm not looking for a Nismo"

Salesman: "No, this is a 370Z in a ~special~ White color"

I purchased from another dealer.

PA nissan dealer - let me drive any Z i wanted but due to that little earthquake they had supply was limited at that time.

saw there were plenty in VA.

VA nissan dealer - my cousin had to tell them he was my manager and i was a famous musican to get a test drive :facepalm:

thank you skinny jeans. :ugh2:

also the chevy delaer by my house got their first 2 new vettes in finally. they almost let me pull them off the truck in a massive snow storm haha

This has probably happened before but...my front o2 sensor was throwing a code so I took it in and the tech blamed it on the j-bends on my hi-flow cat saying that the front and rear sensors work together and the rear was throwing off the front....I knew the tech was wrong but I immediately called Tony (F.I.) just to confirm and he said that was a load of bull****

Funny thing is my warranty would have covered the o2 sensor and everyone would have gotten paid but I guess not? :confused:

My car was in the dealership for 5 days because those incompetent a$$e$ couldn't line up my FI CBE properly. I finally came in and suggested they use a washer on the right muffler bracket. Problem solved.

when you do get a quote for it.. can you PM me how much it cost you?

thanks!

Pm sent

I can believe that, as I've had a similar experience. Porsche is truly a different breed of dealership. I was talking to the salesman about working for Porsche and he explained the training he had to go through. I believe he said there was even a Porsche specific school/course he had to attend? You definitely won't find a run of the mill salesman working at one of those dealers. The Porsche people know their product. And like you had said, there was no pressure at all. When my mom was ordering her new Cayenne, the salesman went as far as explaining what options she didn't need or were a "waste of money" versus ones that would be worth the additional cost. As I'm sure you're well aware, with Porsche, you literally pay for EVERY additional option..the vehicles come with basically nothing! :icon17:
