New 370z Nismo pricing.

twyrick

I found the same thing, just recently, when I made up my mind that what I really wanted was a Nismo Tech 370Z.

I expected to find a number of them to choose from out here in the metro DC area. (There are *always* people with plenty of money to spend on nice cars in areas like Reston, VA and Tysons Corner.)

But surprisingly? Many Nissan dealers didn't seem to have a single 370Z on their lot, much less a Nismo Tech version. The dealer in Rockville, MD and the dealer in Frederick, MD didn't, for example.

I found a dealership out in Manassas, VA that had what seemed like a good price on a new 2017 Sport Tech (non Nismo). But ultimately, it seemed like Priority Nissan out in Chantilly was the only one with several Nismos in inventory.

I bought my slightly used 2016 (14.5K miles on it) from them -- but to be perfectly honest? They kinda screwed me on it. The car is exactly what I was looking for, so it's not that. But all of their advertising listed one price, yet at the end, the salesperson snuck in a line item charge of $1,000 that was absolutely nothing but dealer markup. I didn't catch it until I had already signed most of the paperwork and was going over the extended warranty options in the Finance office. When I questioned it then, the Finance lady went to "check on it" and came back with an attitude, basically shoving the papers back in my face and sternly pointing out that I already signed off, agreeing to it.

And to make it all the more insulting, Priority Nissan already hits you with a supposedly non-negotiable $699 "documentation fee", which I didn't even try to argue over (since my thought was, the original asking price of the car was fair enough and I'd let them make their $700 profit).

Then, I got the car home and had to add brake fluid right away, since it had the brake light randomly flickering on and off, along with the traction light, after I got about half way back. (So much for that big multi-point inspection they bragged about on these Certified used vehicles, I guess?)
