Why did you buy your 370?
I realize there have been threads like this one posted before, but I wanted to open a fresh one for all the new people to the site that didnt get a chance to read them.
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! |
Total impulse buy. Yes...I repeat...a 35k impulse buy haha...
I saw a 370z in a magazine and was like...I need that car. Two days later...I had that car. And I love every minute in it. Its like a mini-vacation every time I sit in it. |
I find myself looking at mine lustfully each and every time I walk away from it, my gf gets pissed!
|
Read the impressive reviews.....Tired of my Ponderous '08 corvette. Sold the vette, traded my in my CooperS for the Z and have been happy as a clam..
|
you really didnt like the 08 vette? why?
|
I think it's like the whole country they are all marking up the new Camaro, I lurk the camaro5 forums i haven't seen one that got their camaro below MRSP.

I think it was a superbowl ad (I'm pretty sure)
I wasn't really in the market for a car until then, but after that, I was done. |

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! |
I saw the GT-R online......wanted one.....then saw the price. At that point I decided "Hey, I have a 2004 Tiburon and it's paid for....I don't need a new car."
Then, I saw the GT-R's little brother and I was sold! Somewhat of an impulse buy, I suppose but it was too nice of a car to pass up and just wait. Want was greater than Need in my case. :p |
seems the preordered ones are the only ones free of markup, but with a wait that long, sure as hell shouldnt be. Mr. Fusz, im curious, can a dealer charge a "rarity" fee?

i was in hollywood at the time around feb, i was at the mall on sunset blvd at the walk of fame and right there were two nissan 370z's on display, i then thought to myself maybe its a sign......hangin out on sunset blvd all day, i must of ran into probably 20 advertisments of the new 370z either it be on the billboards or on tv....i thought to myself yeah it is a sign. when the day was done i was exiting the hollywood area to go home then i saw the mothership of all advertisments of the 370z....scaling alongside a (out of estimation) a 20 story building!....then i said to myself, yeah thats the car im gonna get!! it was one of those things where u just see signs all over the place to help with your decision!! :tup:
