Reporting the fraudulent advertising to State Department of Consumer Affairs and I have a way to get the complaint noticed.
While I personally believe that the way they advertised it was incorrect and misleading, I do hope you realize that you are not completely without fault here. The dealer should have done its due diligence, but they made a fairly easy mistake and I doubt it was deliberate. I would expect them to offer to help you out in some way if they are a reputable dealer because it was their mistake first, but are you entitled to $4000 or $5000 over this? Probably not.

There is a difference between mislabeling a vehicle and painting the calipers and putting a "Sport" badge on it. I hope you get what you want, but do keep yourself grounded in this battle with the dealer. I see a lot of people throwing numbers around on this thread that are just not going to happen.

Demand MSRP for the wheels and tires. Should be at least a couple grand for your troubles.

Reading the description for the car is just humorous. They practically advertise that the PW paint is so good looking that birds don't even want to $hit on it

Yeah, that part of the description was just downright silly. You've been great today. Thank you!

"This 2015 Nissan 370Z Sport is not like every other 370Z."

With this statement placed on the advertised info. A good lawyer can make use of this statement against them to define. It seems they defined it more than something a base Z.

The only deal breaker for me would be synchro rev match! Everything else can be upgraded (You may be even better off that way if you plan on modding up a bit. Ive not seen anybody retrofit synchro rev match in, but maybe the dealer can do it if pressed.

1 Oem sport VLSD to Quaife LSD (way worth the effort $1500)
2 OEM sport brakes to wilwood or Z1 big brake upgrade (better than stock sport $1500)
3 Synchro Rev Match to.... um... learn to heal toe shift! (free! Yay)
4. Bose to Anything but Bose!!! ($???)
Etc, etc,

Good luck, welcome, and congrats on a very cool new car!

I just did KBB on similar car like yours with and without Sport Pkg. It only adds $1500 to the value so they might try to use that figure as a leverage if they ever decide to settle with you.. They might offer you some service items that they randomly price(outrageously priced of course) in lieu of that $1500 difference. Anyway, demand whatever you think you should and good luck!

Default CarFax Buyback???

I believe the advertising COMPLETELY mislead what you were buying. It matters little or not that you knew it was what they stated it was. It WAS NOT as advertised.
And what's with this CarFax Buyback thing?

Anyway, all that really matters is if you end up where the whole situation doesn't eat you up inside. Get out of them what makes you happy for their 'rip off tactics'. If you aren't satisfied get them to take it back. Walk away with clean hands and concience and find another one.
I can't comment on the deal you got. I am up here in the Great White North and it's tough to compare things with the shape of our dollar and what they want for Zs up here.

Best of luck.

Geez.....up here Sport came with Nav since 2014 and was a $5000 option. If you got Sport, you got Nav, period. 2013 was the last year up here where Nav and Sport were two separate options. But that's up here.
Only $1500? Wow.

It would kill me to know I got burnt. I'd only settle for them taking the car back, but I'm not the OP.

I freaking hate car dealerships.

They can offer service but I will *never* let them touch this car. I have free oil changes there but I will take it elsewhere and pay. We actually own a Hyundai and we're planning on how to get rid of it.

I'm back to an excellent deal for a baseZ that has a rear deck spoiler.

The spoiler was on the car the day I purchased it.

If I factor in new MSRP price, spoiler, trunk/floor mats, destination charge I am at $5845 below sticker for a base Z that was was used for about 2750 miles.
