Thats awesome price! Is that OTD or before TTL?

Dealer buy and trade cars at auctions often. Most likely it was traded in an area where a sports car like 370 would be hard to sell, so they put it on auction for other dealers to pick it up if they think they have a market for it.

Greeting's Ssmoked the final price was before taxes and license plates....

If the car was traded in and didn't sell then it would go to auction especially a unique buyer market car like a nismo.
I was going to trade my 2013 in with 4509 miles to the dealer I bought it from as they were going to give me 1000 less then I had it listed for and they said if it didn't sell in 2 or 3 months it would go to auction and they may lose money.

This was of course because I earned a good relationship with the sales manager and I told him I would buy a 2016 Z when they come out

Was it a difficult negotiation or did they give the car away since it didn't sell? There are 4 2013 Nismos within 100 miles of my zip code. hmmmmm

Wrong. You can only get a single body in there without resorting to butchery, which ruins the interior. Trust me.

Never under estimate incompetence. Especially by a dealer is unfamiliar with the car's make and model. I've seen non-Nissan dealers claim a Z is a Nismo, when it's not. So it wouldn't surprise me if the dealer priced the car based on a standard Z model, without appreciating a Nismo's mark up.

Pro tip: Never use a chain saw on a clothed body.

Or so I've been told by someone with hands-on experience.

Greeting's Ssmoked, not a problem. Seems many 2013 370Z Nismo editions
are here in Northern, California...

Equipment needed.
1. Chain saw.
2. Chipper/shreader.
3. Rotortiller.

Just what I have been told by a few in the know.
