Wow, great advice. Thanks a ton!

My dealership has ZERO Z's on the lot, so they are trying to get me into one.

They are driving it from the other dealership. I don't mind having 150 miles on the car when I get it.... I've had women with more miles on them but they were still new to me!

What do I do if they can't get my Z and want to find me another? Should I politely refuse and go to another dealership that has one in stock, even if it's hours away or let them find me one and try this all over again?
