I tried digging around for a post on this but most are not updated and back from 2010-2012. I'm still a bit new here and never posted intro so this is my story. Fail or Win, you decide.
While no car, I had to borrow my girlfriend's rsx to drive to work.
My parents wanted to buy me a 370z and so I've been looking around California San Jose area for one. I wanted Magnetic Black. I'm more of a night person, and nothing beats a Magnetic Black 370z at night, especially on a rainy day (orgasm).
My mom flew over from kansas (School in Cali, don't live with parents) to take me car shopping. We had the idea of 2014 Base 7AT.
(My friends who let me drift their honda civic stick says im gifted at driving stick since i just flew by first time driving after watching some instruction videos. Thing is, I can't bare living next couple years in traffic with a stick. God bless 7AT.) @ $29000. Capitol Nissan started it off at 32,000 and told us the lowest they could do was 31,000 which they would have to order since they didn't have black. They kept trying to sell me a 2012 touring model for $34000.
I got convinced and my mom and I decided we can do $32000 for the touring but the dealer wouldn't budge. (Probably still sitting in parking lot rotting.)
We left. Went to stevens creek dealer. They said they can do $29,800. We got excited. Back and forth between the two I let them auction for my buy. I told them other dealer is offering 29,500. Ended with Capitol Nissan standing at 29,200. Steven Creek at $29,000. I tried to get Capitol at $29,000 but they wouldn't and in addition insulted me for calling me lowball ect also mentioned if I can get the 370z for 29k, he'll personally sell me the gtr which he was pointing at, for 40k.
Fast forward. I went to stevens to get the $29,000 deal. Turns out the guy who made a deal with me for 29000 "Is on vacation now" and called off the deal.
I was left with no car, no deal for couple months.
Fast forward again couple months. July now, couple days till my birthday.
Was a work, got a phonecall from my dad and told me to take the remaining day off and go home to receive a package.
I came home, and there it is. 2014 Magnetic Black 370z so shiny, it blinded me. I took the keys from the deliver guy, signed off paper then looked around the car... a spoiler? wtf? Called my mom I told her i wanted Base with no add ons (I didn't want additional stuff because I didn't want to pay too much. I'm happy with just a base model).
She explains she ordered and got a deal with a Kansas dealer for $29000 but they had to place an order. After the car came it turns out that the dealer made a mistake and ordered a sports model instead. My mom refused the car and they would have to pay fees to ship it back so they gave the car to my mom, a sports packaged z, for $29000.
And that is how I ended up with a sports package.
Then couple months later, I got into a hit and run. (I have a post on this somewhere on the forums).
