New 2010 Black on Black Fully Loaded Sports + Touring + Nav 370Z

scruffydog

I just picked up my 2010 Black on Black Fully Loaded Sports + Touring + Nav 370Z. It's my first Nissan and I am very impressed with the car. I'm loving every bit of it. I've waited the whole month for this. Too bad today when I picked up the car it rained. =( Other than that. I look forward to meet you all.

Update:
thanks guys for the replies. My deal was pretty crazy...originally i went with Robert's VPP discount for a bargain (multiple dealerships), but as we all know it's pretty much impossible to use that on a car that's not within any dealer's lot. So I actually had to have the dealer to order this car. And because the VPP deal ended March 31st, I knew I wasn't going to make it since I put in the order in the middle of March.

Anyways, this is the crazy part, the original sales guy (let's call him "A") was going to honor me the VPP price even though he knows this car is not going to arrive until middle of April. How? I dunno, but I was like, alrite, let's sign a piece of paper that says you're gonna honor it - that was in March.

Then last week or so, I emailed "A" and no response after 3 emails for an ETA. So I called the dealership to find out this guy no longer works for Nissan anymore. Turns out, "A" and "A"'s manager both no longer works for it anymore. I think they both got fired for handing out deals they weren't suppose to. On the phone, I specifically told "A" that what about if the car comes in later than the VPP deal, then you guys won't be able to offer me the deal. "A" then said, don't worry about what we need to do, we just need to hit the numbers, we can create another VPP # through somewhere else to make back our lost or whatever"

So yesterday, at the dealership a new guy "B" is now taken over the purchase, told me the car actually arrived on March 31st. WTF? But because he was so disconnected with the process and he had no access to "A"'s email, he didn't call me until April 1st that the car came in. WHICH MEANS, I COULD HAVE ACTUALLY APPLIED THE VPP TO MY PURCHASE!!! In the end, after many apologizes on not being able to uphold their end of the deal, the best they could do for me was to take a $500 lost (or shall I say $500 under invoice) instead of $1600 under invoice because of all these empty promises "A" and his "A's" manager made.

BTW, I know the normal ordering process usually takes around 3-4 months easily. The only reason I was able to do it in less than a month is because "A" did a search on Nissan's ordering database and found one that was in the pipeline that was going to another dealership. I think in return, they negotiated some exchange with the other dealership for getting this car transferred to their inventory. They said they could change the minor stuff on the car to match my needs (colors,etc) but the car came with the Nismo Brake Pads (which I didn't wanna pay for). Regardless, I still went forward with this config because I wanted this car to come asap so I could close this deal before "A" backs out on his words (which happened anyways).

Even after such an unfortunate event, I still got a good deal knowing that the dealership took a lost for me when they could easily sold this car for more to somebody else. But they had a reputation they also have to uphold. I'm still shocked 2 guys got fired within the ordering process.

They had another one at the same dealership sometime around December too. I was so bummed out they sold it when I was ready to make the purchase...so I ended up ordering one. You never know though, sometimes they can check what's coming in the pipeline and be able to get it sooner than you think. That's how I got mine. Good luck with getting one if you're still looking.

Yea, the heated mirrors do come in convenient, although I haven't tried it on my Z yet, but it came in handy for my Lexus. I personally waited for the 2010 because of the Nav change. They really UP the resolution on the screen and it can play DVDs. Also they have a USB port for music instead of a flash card drive - this feature is really useful.

I bought mine end of January from Serramonte Nissan. PM me and i'll tell you how much i paid. Actually i paid below invoice. I can refer you the same saleslady at Serramonte that I bought from her.


Haha i see the yellow Z in the background. That was an 09 with 190 miles. I told them too many miles, they said it's typical. haha. I offered $31000, they said $32000. Six months later, the car still sits there on their lot. haha. Good luck to them selling it for $31000 now.

I bought a 2010 Z with only 8 miles from Serramonte Nissan below invoice.

scruffydog

haha, I can't believe I missed that yellow Z last time I went there in December. My eyes must be only looking for a Black On Black. They had another blk/blk sitting in the same spot they parked my Z. I thought they would have gave you a good price considering the guy & his manager who originally helped me got fired for doing some crazy stuff to just hit numbers. (See my first post)
