Put the joint down, take a nap for a few hours (or as many as you need to be safe ) and go for a drive

Hey LB,

Nissan told me that they have no central database of service done to automobiles, each dealership keeps their own service records. True? I don't know, if anyone knows different tell me please. This was directly from Nissan Corp when I inquired about service records of my used Z, I provided VIN, bill of sale, everything to prove ownership, then they tell me after jumping thru all those hoops they can't help me....

Hey Limey,

My Z was 2009 with 11K on it. When I got it I had a 150 mile/5 day return window, so I took it to our shop and we went over it with a fine tooth comb, didn't find any nuts shiny, paints, nothing had ever been taken off/on the car, even had original tires. Even the paint was pristine, minimum swirls, appeared to have been hand washed it's entire life. I got under it and there was even very little grease spun out from the diff joints. So, it is possible to find a cherry once in a while. The CarFax listed two owners, originally sold in GA and then resold here in FL.
While I don't give Carfax that much credit, it's nice to have an apparently clean bill of health anyway.
The salesman told me a pregnant woman traded it in for a van.....I just looked at him and said oh wow. I don't believe anything a car salesman says.

PS: My wife and I bought a 2007 Santa Fe with 600 miles on it, the salesman told me a woman brought it back for another color....7 years later still no problems with it. Of course we got factory warranty.
