New member, hoping to find the "perfect" 370 soon

lemon-fresh · 03-26-2012, 12:22 PM

Hello all,

Long time reader, first time poster. I'm from Calgary and am on the search to find an 09 370 for the right price... And hopefully no more terrible experiences at the dealerships. Can't wait to join the club.

welcome! lots of things to learn on this site!

Thanks, so I've noticed. The dealership that wouldn't even let me test drive the used Z they had is calling me, sigh... I'm hopeful, yet sad I have to deal with them again.

i would kindly let them know that there is no way i would buy a car without test driving it. are they taking you seriously as a buyer? i hve had douchey salesman before, and that was the case. keep looking and let them know how you feel about it bro.

I would stay away from that dealership!

Welcome to the forum. Good luck in finding your perfect Z. Too bad we have to deal with crappy dealers in our searches.

Werd, and yes I did. The salesman was actually pretty understanding, I think the manager was the real problem.

I'm 27 but I look young so I guess people sometimes don't take me seriously, still doesn't forgive the fact that they won't let me test drive a used 370 without an offer lol (it's not a Ferrari guys). Having said that if I can use it to bargain for a good deal I'm all for it (pending a test drive of course).

I guess it's to be expected when shopping for a desirable sports car and not looking over 40 (no offense).

Plus, don't ever ride a sport bike to a car dealership and expect any type of service or test drives....even if your over 40.

I would suggest you contact member 6MT ( http://www.the370z.com/members/6mt.html ) in Edmonton. He has a mint 09 PG with tasteful quality mods for a reasonable price. I can vouch for the car, it is gorgeous!

lemon-fresh · 03-26-2012, 04:04 PM

Heh indeed, I saw the ad for it, very nice. Unfortunately it's a little outside my price range (even factoring in the mods) so unless he's willing to do some hardcore haggling lol...

wheee! · 03-26-2012, 04:17 PM

Nope. It is as good a car as you will find and the price is a steal. The car spends most of its life in the garage and the owner has Terminal OCD.. lol! I know what he paid to get those wheels...

Maybe he will part it out and sell you the base version though.... ask him.

lemon-fresh · 03-26-2012, 05:56 PM

well that was fast, found one for $33150 all in (pending test drive) with 3000km on it.

wheee! · 03-26-2012, 06:30 PM

excellent find! Hope it's been treated well!

lemon-fresh · 03-26-2012, 06:34 PM

Thanks! Here's hoping
