Odometer off the lot

This thread is pointless, do what you want there is probably nothing wrong with either of the cars.

Wonderful! It sounds like I'm not going to get any sleep for a while since I'll be thinking about all the things that might go wrong with my new car!

kenchan · 05-18-2010, 04:41 PM

yah, and imagine getting into an accident on the way home from the dealership.

luv a car but dont luv it to death. hope you get wat you want.

CaptainSlow · 05-19-2010, 02:07 PM

The car is on a ship destined for Canada. I should have it soon I think. I'm not sure the transit time between there and the port and then the port to my dealer. Hopefully mid June!

MeetJoeAsian · 05-19-2010, 02:19 PM

look, when your car has 40,000 miles or km, watever, on it, is 96 miles gonna matter??? If you valet your car, it will be ragged out worse than a dealer trade...if you're so anal about it, then ask them to transport on a flatbed and you would pay more for it...

and if you're that anal and want it right way, then call other dealerships around the country, then go there and pick the car up and drive it back yourself

The 370z doesn't require some kind of special "break in" or anything does it?

I've always been under the impression that most modern cars are broken in from the factory.

When I got my MS3 I didn't do any kind of "break in" and it's still running strong as ever at nearly 50k miles.

Anyways, good luck with your new Z!

I'm seriously considering one my self.

I don't get people who say this. Unless you have an unlimited warranty, there will come a time where YOU have to pay for repairs when things start to fail. 300 miles is probably 7-10 test drives, and I'm sure that at least one of those guys/girls beat the crap out of that thing (probably with the engine cold). I just wouldn't want to take the chance that a few years later there are going to be major issues with the car.

I doubt 60,000 miles down the road they will be able to connect anything to previous test drives 5 years or more earlier. Driving in traffic every day will destroy your engine more than a couple test drives.

100 miles is an a$s-load...

I got my 2005 G w/ 9 miles on it and was mad... got my evo X with 5 miles on it and now the Z w/ about 8 or so miles... All after they filled me up too... Wait for another - there are plenty out there

Mine came off the truck with 8kms (approx. 5 miles). I took delivery with 26kms (approx. 17 miles). Can you say joy-ride? I was a bit miffed.

red6spd · 05-29-2010, 02:58 PM

96 miles isnt that bad, but I would try and get some money off for it. Mine is coming right from the factory to my dealer. And my best friend bro is the one I purchased the car from. He assures me that the only driving there gonna do is to get gas, hopefully this will be the lowest mileage car I ever owned. My Alti had 11 miles on her.

susu · 05-29-2010, 07:23 PM

CaptainSlow, I'm glad you waited. You paid for a new car and would expect something less than 20km and not a demo. Mine was at 18km when it was sent over from Montreal to Toronto and after dealer's prep. Despite what your dealer said, sounds like it had be demoed.
