1st 370Z on Guam

TRU370Z · 04-09-2009, 04:35 AM

What's up all. First joined the forum a few days ago and today I got the 09 370Z 6MT w/ Sport Package in Magnetic Black. A short history on how I got the car. I had a 08 G37 up until two weeks ago when I got in a wreck and car was deemed a total loss. Luckily I was alright and insurance covered the entire cost of vehicle and a little over $2Gs more. Anyway I am active duty USAF and stationed on Guam. Unfortunately there is only one Nissan Dealership on island, so the "I am taking my business to the dealership across town technique" doesn't work at all down here. But I still did my research and priced the car with options showed my salesman my offer which was Invoice plus 5%. He did not beat around the bush, which I appreciated because he did not waste my time going back and forth on an offer, and told me straight up that he could not give me that price because if you purchase a vehicle on Guam the "state" charges 4% of purchase price as tax. However his offer to me was only $800 more than I offered him and is tinting it to Guam's legal limit of 5%(F'N Dark!) for free. Small price for me to pay to be the first person on island to own the 370Z and the only Magnetic Black on island. I pick up the car on Saturday and will post pics. Thanks in advance for all the help I am sure I will receive on this board. Laterz!

P.S. I was able to take of the Eibach Springs and Stillen Gen3 off the G37 before it was taken off to the scrap heap. I am optimistic about them fitting, hopefully they do and I'll let you guys know. And for you guys who are also on myg37.com, my screen name on there was Hawaiian72099, that's why I have not been on there for a long time lol.
