You're really blowing this out of proportion.

Do you know how the free market works? Do you ever invest in the stock market? (I sure hope not) I don't understand why you are so worried about resale value. Do you plan on selling your car tomorrow? That's the risk you take buying new and something you have to learn to stomach.

While I commend you for trying (never hurts right?), I don't think you'll get very far. They don't NEED to do anything. YOU agreed to buy the car for that price. When you buy a TV and a few months later it goes on sale, do you call up the manufacturer and store and demand some compensation because you paid a higher price? A bit ridiculous don't you think? As far as the Mfg to dealer incentives- the dealer doesn't have to pass this along to the customer. It's a business after all and if they can sell for a higher price and profit, why not?

I just ate a $3k sh*t sandwich, this will be last Nissan I purchase and I will steer other buyers away the best I can. If that's the only satisfaction I get than so be it.

DI*K MOVE NISSAN

You should sell your Z right away as well. Show Nissan who's boss

Yeah it sucks, and I can sympathize with the consumer. But these irrational comments lack a real understanding of basic business concepts

Infidel

I'm not trying to show anyone who's boss. It's my reaction to a DI*K MOVE by a manufacturer. If YOU bought a new car and the next day it was $3k less you would be pissed at some level and maybe to the point of swearing off the brand forever....nothing irrational about it. It's just a manufacturer that decided to say 'to hell' to a few customers in hopes of making it up with more new customers. If Nissan were to do this year after year they would go out of business, there's a "real understanding of basic business concepts" for ya!

b15

Yes, I would be upset. No, I wouldn't swear them off because I buy what I like for what I think is a good price at that exact moment in time. No one can predict the future.

And no, they wouldn't go out of business. Sounds like you need this

Infidel

I'll forward this to Nissan for you, they need it way more than I do.

It's not ridiculous, as for the tv comment. That's why most stores have price match. If it goes on sale or a competitor sells it for less they reimburse you the difference. As for do I plan to sell the car. Yes I never keep cars long. I'm always buying and selling them. So resale value is important. I planned on keeping this z till the next version came out then buy that. By them dropping the price the way they did it puts anyone who bought their car this year in a huge hole. A hole that was not there when they made the purchase. If u ask most people would you buy this car at that same price knowing that its gonna loose that much value most people would not buy. I understand depreciation and how it works this z is my 36th car. Basicly they changed all the factors of the cars pricing and what it's worth and for those of us who have done a recent purchase took the loss. Which I'm not ok with. So I will do what I can to recoupe what I have lost. As I said before it was a cooperate decision to change the price. Would you go buy a z for $37000 right now? Of course not nobody would. If u had my car for a year or more then I prob wouldn't be as mad. But it's been a few months and I'm not ok with it. U dont have to agree with me on it. But it's how I feel and I will do my best to get what I think is right. I would o into more detail but I'm doing this from my phone at work and its a pain to try n type long responses

Oh, for ***** sake. Price matching? On a car?

And if you're concerned about losing money while trading cars every two years, you should lease.

I didn't say price match on a car. He brought up the tv thing so I brought up price match on a tv. Don't twist my words.

Here's my take on this and I'm done after this:

If you buy and resell, why are you buying new and taking the depreciation hit? 36 cars or not, that's not a very good business model. Secondly, yesterday, $37,000 for a Z may have been a good deal. Obviously it isn't today. That's the risk you take. I would be upset too, but you take things to a ridiculous level. Do you sit and second guess every dollar you spend like this?

I don't think you understand this concept either. Price matching is at the time of purchase or very shortly thereafter. Are you telling me you call up a store months later, after the TV has been in use, and demand price matching if it goes on sale?

Chuck33079

This. You've pissed away far more than the difference in resale you "lost" on your 2013.

Exactly. The second you signed those papers, your 2013 (or any new car) lost thousands in value. You could drive it down the street and trade it in 5mins later and not get back what you just agreed to buy it for.

italy3541

I don't buy and resell. I buy what I like then if something else come along I will go and get that. Knowing I am this way I always search for the best deal. Going back and forth to different dealers getting them to beat eachother price till I get to a pint where they won't go any further. By doing this I minimize the loss when I go for the next car. So I take Into account depreciation when I'm making my deals. Yes I do loose money sometimes. Not a ton. It all depends on how bad the dealer wants to sell the car. This current z I bought I spent a month going back and forth to may dealerships to get the deal I wanted. I was pleased with my buy. Now I'm not because they changed the factors.

As for the tv thing. Certain stores will price match up to a year after purchase. I don't wanna talk about tv's I was just responding to a comment made by someone else.

Yes I watch every dollar I spend. And yes I go nuts looking over my purchases. I flip houses as a side business and you have to watch every penny and make up every cent you can wherever you can. I'm not rich and spending large amounts of money on things isn't something I just do for fun. Like most of us I have to finance my cars. So I have to get the best deal possible. I wouldn't care about the price change if they did changes to the car. The fact is they changes nothing they just made it cheaper which now screwed us who just bought.
