Default I believe I got a hell of a deal.

370Z
Touring pkg.
This is what my wife wanted.

05 Honda CR-V what she had.


I owed $3k on the Honda but had $3k for down money, so pay the car off? Or trade it and let them do the paper work…didn’t matter.


Went to Carmax to find out about my trade…
05 CR-V
60k mi
Good’ish condition
They offered $10k …. Not as much as I wanted but hey, I have a base.

Didn't tell the dealer (Nissan) I went to carmax…first offer was $9,xxx something.
Second offer was $10,750….hummmm….sounds good I’ll take it.



370Z
Touring pkg.
Auto w/paddles
Free 7-year/100000 mile warranty
First oil change for free
Platinum graphite

USAA price at this dealer = $33081.00, plus taxes.


Gwinnett Place Nissan
Duluth, GA


Finance thru Pentagon fed 3.99%

And my insurance is only $20 more for 6 months….

They didn’t have our car on the lot so they gave us a loner (touring / sport pkg) for a week!!!
Understand Duluth is Atlanta and I live in Augusta. I told them I would put 500mi on this car, they told me to just leave some rubber on the tires.

The sport pkg was nice when aggressive driving was the priority, but I do think for a daily driver the 18” wheels of the non sport give the car a little more relaxed feel.
Mind you this car is for the wife. I have a 09 VMAX for my adrenalin needs.

The car is dame fun and I do look forward to my wife’s travel so I can have the Z to myself for a while.


Don’t think I did to bad.
Pleas don’t hate me

Thanks to all of you posting your experiences with this.
This site was a GREAT help figuring out what to do.
