I stumbled upon my Z by pure luck... hadn't been looking for at least a few months. Basically, the RMV messed up on the title and registration for my 2013 Murano (they marked it down as a Rogue
) and was heading back to the dealership to have them investigate it since we didn't know if the RMV messed up or the RMV runner had. Once I pulled into the dealership, the pearl white Nismo was parked in the first spot in front of the dealership. It caught my eye and I just had to look. After feeling the paint was smooth, the interior was pristine, and the tires had about 6-7k worth of wear (which matched the mileage - so it wasn't beat on) I decided to take down the VIN and run it. Perfectly clean, 1 owner from Poughkeepsie, NY who drove to New Hampshire to trade it for a C7 'Vette. One of the guys at my local dealership knew someone up there and that's how it ended up down here in Massachusetts. Apparently they had just gotten it in that day.
A few days later I decided I at least wanted to test drive it to see if I liked how it drove. After that, it was a done deal. Bought the Z, sold my Murano to my parents, and sold my 02 Xterra on Craigslist just to be able to call it my own.
