Nissan steps up to the plate:

10 Aug 2010. Nissan sold a 370Z “MY09” to its distributor “Garatge Sport” (sic)
18 Aug 2010 Garatge Sport sold and matriculated it as “manufactured in 2010”
….and rudely rejected two valid warranty claims (VVEL relay and steering lock)… a clue to bigger problems.

10 Jan 2014 Nissan took back the car at the price I paid.
Actually the car had been made in May 2009.

Financially I am satisfied. The years of digging for hidden documents, the disbelief, the lies and attempts to tarnish my name with dealership technobabble were never worth it.
Sample CEO lawyer ******** “The year of manufacture is date of import”.

The “MYxx” (model year 2009 here) code was motor industry usage for 10 years.
The distributor CEO “did not know the age” and “did not know” the engine number either.
The engine number is also on that 10 Aug 2010 invoice # ESPRO12697
The customs import document stated “Euro4”. “Euro4” ended end August 2009 on 370Z!

As a Motor Industry R&D veteran I can suss out potential fraud. Prove it? Legally? The average Joe has no hope.

Nissan has kindly written an apology. Its dealership CEO stonewalls. Apologise? No way.
(But the local trucks/commercial Nissan dealer is AOK!)
