Question about purchasing 370Z
 

Hello everyone I am new to the forum. Name is Manny from Queens NY.

I am interested in purchasing a blue 370Z 6AT.

My questions are as follows:

Can I buy the car outright and show up to the dealership with a bank check and get the car? Or am I required to finance regardless if i have the cash or not?

My next question is, does Nissan offer extended warranty?

Also, does Nissan offer "Lo-Jack service"?

Thank You

You should be able to buy the car right out.
Nissan has an extended warranty, multiple options.
Not sure on the Lo-jack.

:tup:Thanks!

You can definately bring a bank check and purchase the car outright. Financing is available for those who doesn't have all the cash on hand.

Like what theDreamer said..Nissan dealers will have lo jack services and multiple extended warranty plans for you to choose from.

Welcome! Seems like everyone answered your questions already

Just a note you may want a 6mt or a 7at there is no 6at. The Blue is a nice color choice too!

Suggest you check the warranty forum to get extended warranty pricing estimates.

Nissan offered Lo-jack for me when i bought the car. I passed it up though. So Yes they do offer lo-jack.

welcome manny! hope we answered all your questions and you get a great deal on a new Z!

^ a thread with warranty info

Is a bank check different from a personal check?

If your checking acct (or whatever acct the check is linked to) has the correct amount of money in it, they will have no problem taking it.

I actually asked the stealership this question when buying my car. They responded "as long as it doesn't bounce this is just fine."

Bank Check, sometimes referred to as an outside loan.

Most Stealerships will hold your title and paperwork until the check clears.

Oh no...I am planning to go to my bank and have them make a bank check to the dealership for straight cash from my account. No loans or anything for me.


I know they wont be too happy about it since theres "No Loan= No Interest"

So they wont make nothing off of me except the principle payment in one shot.

I do not like the fact that I cannot get the Navigational system in the coupe. I think they should make that optional as well. But I guess i'll just do fine with my TomTom.

I was considering a manual transmission, but remembering the days when I had a manual transmission Sentra....It wasn't too pleasant driving in New York City. Especially during rush hour after work on the expressways.

The stop n go is soo constant that its aggrivating as it is...adding a stick shift could only make me go postal on the idiots that drive in this city.

I'll stick to the paddle shifters when I feel like racing from one green light to the next red light lol

My other concern is that Lo-Jack. I rather play it safe than sorry, even though I will be garaging it. They told me at the dealership that in order to order my car, they need a 10% down payment to order my vehicle. Is this true?

And will that 10% go towards the actualy payment of the vehicle?

Well, every dealer is different on deposits. But yes they will want some kind of commitment to order a car. Typically the deposit goes towards writing down the sale price.

It should be a refundable deposit and 10% seems excessive based on some other threads and discussions here. $500 seems more like it.

My dealer took a personal check for the difference over my trade-in - they just called my bank to verify funds available.

Does anyone know what is the engine break-in period for 2010 370Z? How many miles and how fast can I go? Thank You

The owner's manual was available here but seems to have been moved at Nissan's site.

In any case, here is what it says:

During the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km), follow these recommendations to obtain maximum engine performance and ensure the future reliability and economy of your new vehicle.
Failure to follow these recommendations may result in shortened engine life and reduced engine performance.

- Avoid driving for long periods at constant speed, either fast or slow. Do not run the engine over 4,000 rpm.
- Do not accelerate at full throttle in any gear.
- Avoid quick starts.
- Avoid hard braking as much as possible.

Of course, some engine builders here recommend driving without constant RPMs or idle but not avoiding high RPM early to improve break-in.

So I went to a dealer today to check out information on purchasing a 370z and it appears that I cannot order anything from the factory. I can take what's in the dealer inventories and that's it........this totally sucks!

:confused::confused::confused:

Yeah I am not really sure I am going to be getting this car anymore. I am paying 135 a month in car insurance and the quote Geico gave me states I would be paying 308 a month for the Z. :thumbsdown:

This really really sux

Try nationwide if you can. The insurance agent I talked to told me they are strict about driving records and credit history. He also told me they don't go by what kind of car it is, just how much it will cost to replace it. I got off with $517 every 6 months for full coverage at 25 years old which I thought was pretty darn cheap. My current insurer for my old car and my motorcycle wanted nearly $900 every 6 months. Several other insurance agencies quoted me around the 1200 range.

Yeah I did a little bit of math and re-organized bills. I will be able to afford it, and from what I was hearing, some people pay 300 a month for a normal car and I am complaining about 300 for this car :rofl2:

Shop around. Sometimes the prices quoted online are inflated. Call an agent.

$100 a month for me.
