I first seen the Z back in Feb in person, wow, love at first sight, at the time I was home on leave from that shytstorm called Iraq. At the time I didnt have the funds to buy the car outright, so I planned to get one immediately upon my return. Well, when I went back, some friends turned me onto the new Camaro SS, which BTW is a blast to drive. So I went from wanting the Z, to lusting after the Camaro.

So I get back in june, and get to the Chevy stealership expecting to pay MSRP at the most, which was 30k give or take. I had managed to accumulate about 35k in my savings for the 15 mos I was there. Well lo and behold, they decided to tack on a $12,000 "Rarity" fee, taking the car to 44k, f-ing insanity I know.

So I then directed my business elsewhere, only to find this problem city wide. As I was leaving the dealership, a SR 370 zipped by, and I swear i damn near got a fully. So on over to Casa Nissan I went, got the price I wanted and drove off with my new SR 370, paid in full, gotta love deployments!

I also think that this new minimum mpg government restriction they plan to impose will severely limit the number of high hp car production, better get your speedster while they last!

And whats worse is that people still pay! Thats why the prices remain constant, because there are people out there willing to pay 45k for a 30k car, the dealerships are making a killing.

Friend of mine just ordered his new Camaro SS from a dealer here in SoCal (4-5 month wait, WTF???) last weekend - no markup over MSRP (although no discount either).

To answer the OP's question: I bought my 370Z because I'd wanted one since my college roomate bought himself a brand new 280Z as a graduation present to himself years ago. The timing was finally right (my kids have their own vehicles now and I was in the market for a new car), so voila!
