I'm just so down right now. I was so pumped up all week. The real kick in the pants of the whole thing is they let me take a fully loaded red touring 6sp out to try out the rev match. I LOVE the 370. It is everything I thought it would be.
wow.. that's kinda suck because I was given WAY (alteast $2000+) more for my trade. I say list it on ebay and autotrader. You'll get bite. I have sold plenty of cars on them.

I wonder if this has to do with Nissan announcing 10,000 Z/year. When the Z first came out, in January, there was a shortage and people were paying MSRP. But, in next couple months (all feb and March), Z was available everywhere in large quantities and dealers were taking ANY offers (even below invoice) on them. Then, Nissan announces they will only sell 10,000 Zs a year and bam, I saw an instant price hike on the Z. Dealers were no longer interested in selling at low prices or make any deals. When Me, Musashi and few other forum members bought our cars (around feb/march), dealers were begging us to come and buy the car from them. You can walk in (like Musashi) and get invoice or below invoice deals with generous trade ins. After the announcement, I have def seen a quick shift. Also remember, dealer allocation is reduced by 1/3 on all Nissan dealers since Nissan's target was 30,000 units/year. That's why dealer is probably holding onto every Z they currently have?

Hopefully, you sell your 350Z and join us. Look for other dealers. It's not a bad idea (I personally think it's the best idea) to go outside your state if necessary. Roadtrip in your brand new Z will be almost like a reward.
