from the sales manager "the sport package comes with a front air spoiler, not the front aero deflector"(they are the same frickin part) when trying to explain why mine did not have it on. needless to say they got me one and put it on no charge.

When I was interested in a 370z (eventually purchased) the salesman wasn't sure if the car had the sport package (or what it was)..and had no idea what rev match button was for. . This was at a NISSAN dealer where they had several new 370z's in stock..

A good salesman can sell you something that he knows nothing about and that what you didn't want.

For Z or any other low volume car isn't want the sales people are focused on. They could probably talk for hours about an altima or quest pointing out all the different features.

I don't expect the salesperson to know every detail about every car they sell. "I don't know but I'll find out real quick" is an acceptable answer. A bullsh!t answer, on the other hand, is totally unacceptable.

i disagree, they should know! its there job. hell when i sold kitchen appliances and home goods during my retail days i learned about every product we sold. we even had classes before work to learn the products.

if a guy cant learn the differences between 12 dif cars they suck.

Last October I stopped by a Nissan dealer to see if they had any Z's. There was one Roadster 7AT. I was looking for a Coupe 6MT, but the salesman had to push me towards it, so I said "Sure, lets go check it out."

So we open the doors and get in and fire it up to "listen to the engine." As it was cold the RPMs were high at about 1400 as it warmed up.

I asked him what the idle is and he looked at the tach and said "It idles at 1400 RPM."

I said "Thanks' and left him in the lot asking for my name and number.

Exactly. My room mate works for Toyota and he'll rattle off all the BS stuff that comes in the Camry and Corolla, and the IS/GS350 but can't tell you anything about the Lexus LFA

When I bought my car, at a Nissan dealer, I made a comment that I was glad it warmed up alittle and there wasn't any snow because of the summer tires. I had a 3hr drive back home. Car only had 3k miles and stock tires. He says he is pretty sure they are all season tires, leans over and points at the size and says "Yep, 275s, they are all season."

Stopped into my dealer to get a copy of my last maint for my binder and started talking to a new tech. So I asked him if he has seen any Z's come in for CSC failure. His reply and I quote, "a couple but they only go bad from too much pushes on the clutch pedal". WTF???? So, how in the hell am I suposed to shift if I can't "push" on the clutch? I seriously hope he was messing with me......

perhaps not the best choice of words, but they do seem to go bad by repetitive abrupt clutch-ins/outs, i thinks...
