Nobody takes me seriously when I go into a showroom. Not even at Honda dealerships.  I went to at least 15 Nissan dealerships.
I've been told 1. "Where's mommy and daddy?" 2. "Which bank did you rob to afford this car?" 3. "Sorry, I must have mistaken you for someone important." 4. "I'm sorry, are you lost? This is a Nissan dealership and this is a 370z you're sitting in."
Well, long story short, I bought my 370z from the first and only dealership to even spare me an hour of their precious time.  |
I know exactly what you two mean. I'm 19 and I really have decided on a 370z. A few weekends ago, I went into Victory Nissan in Richmond to test one out for myself. I parked and one of the greeters came out and said hi. The guy seemed new and I asked him if I could take one of the Z's out for a spin, let alone take a look at it. He said he'd get the paper work ready but that he'd have to run it by his manager first. While I filled out my info. and he got a copy of my license, his manager came out and sat in front of me. It was pretty awkward since we both just sat there without saying a word. Finally he asked me what I wanted and I told him I'm looking into buying a 370z so I wanted a test drive. He began by asking me how I would pay for one and how much one costs (it was an odd question to ask me) so I told him around 30k (I know they cost quite a bit more new but I wanted to go on the lower end of the spectrum); I'd pay in cash. He immediately snubbed me out and said they were 35-45k. I told him I wanted to buy one slightly used (maybe with <10k miles). Suddenly, he got up and said that owners don't like having a large amount of miles on Z's and so I couldn't test one out. He left rudely and left me with the novice greeter. I could see that everyone had lost interest in me, the customer. The greeter said I could still take a look if I wanted so we went out to the lot and there were about 5 Z's out there in a row. I opened the first and sat in it while the man went to get the key. He came back after maybe HALF AN HOUR! And he had the wrong key. Finally, he had the right one and he told me I could power the car on. I held the key, pushed the start button....and nothing. The car was dead. I asked if I could try out another, and he said he "had all the time in the world." I get into the next one, the interior lights do not come on, it's dead. All five of their cars were completely drained (and these were all 2010 models). I took a look at each of their rotors and they ALL had buildup. I felt a lot of satisfaction that they weren't selling. In a couple months, I shall purchase a Z from a different dealer and drive it over there to rub it into their faces
Sorry for the long story. Just thought i'd vent.
