Looked at a couple of 370Zs today

TacoZ · 01-01-2009, 08:45 PM

I stopped by two dealerships today to check out the 370Z.

1st Dealership:
Had only one silver touring model with navigation on the lot. Cool old guy who was very honest with me and told me if I wanted to save money, to buy the 350Z. They were not selling the 370Z below MSRP for a couple of months. The interior is gorgeous. Soft leather around the the center console and it just looks waaaay better than the 350Z. The illuminated kick plate was pretty cool too.

2nd Dealership:
The guy said he only had a yellow base model in the showroom. Again the guy said they were not selling it below MSRP. As I left, he stopped me and told me to wait. After 3 minutes he came back with a golf cart and he took me towards the back. I told him I was looking for a WHITE touring and sport package model.

He took me to two white ones. Now let me say, if I had any doubts about which color to get....I don't anymore. I'm definitely getting a PEARL WHITE 370Z. The sparkling white is awesome in the sun. Also, if I had any debate as to whtether i wanted the spoiler or not...let me just say that the spoiler looks a lot better in person than it does in any picture. I'm keeping my spoiler!! I had the two cars side by side and it does look better with the spoiler. I also noticed the when you open the door, the window rolls down about an inch and when you close it, it rolls up all the way. Nice little feature.

I talked to the guy a bit more and I asked about ordering straight from the factory with the exact specs that I wanted. He said he could and it would take between 6 to 8 weeks. So now I know how long that would take.

Oh yeah and the guy said that the 2010 model will be a HARD TOP convertible. I think he doesn't know what he's saying or talking about because I doubt the Z will ever have a hard top. It's just too much weight. He said yes it would juts like the G37. Oh well, I still think he's bullshiting.

CONCLUSION:
I'm waiting a couple of months for the price to drop. Even wait as long as next year. Also, PEARL WHITE is awesome! Has to be seen in the sun to be appreciated!

Thanks for the note. I would be surprised if you couldn't find the car you wanted locally in a couple months. The 70 doesn't exactly come with a ton of options. Now the new camaro on the other hand has so many options, you practically have to order from the factory to get everything perfect ... assuming they ever get their act together and make it. I'm starting to think it's a myth.

Good info! Pearl White FTW!!!!

zsport1 · 01-01-2009, 10:21 PM

WOW. Good info, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing pics of your 370Z when you finally get it.

My local dealer got a Pearl White 370Z yesterday. Base model with Sport package.

Wow, they're hitting the dealer lots sooner than I expected. I'll go check out the local dealers her in NJ tomorrow, hopefully get some pictures and more if I'm lucky.

Central NJ. Edison to be exact. I'll probably call up Acme first (closest) then DCH in Freehold second.

I hadn't considered white, but it looks really nice. That fender gap is awful though, looks like it's ready to go off roading!

Thx for the observations taco. And man does the white look good.

2010 Camaro coming in next 2 months.
Real smart move on Nissan's part. Would of been smarter to release as 2010 model.

Doesnt really matter if the car needs to be a 2010 model to get buzz then GM needs to rethink there marketing strategy. Well and there business strategy and there paying union workers strategy too!

Monterey Blue is hard to come by, but good luck on the buy

frost · 01-03-2009, 02:54 AM

I think I remember one of the GM bigwigs saying they did that because they wanted them to hold their value better, and releasing them as a 2010 model would do that.

Great.
I am looking forward to see White in person, I am still up to a Platinum Graphite, but digging to feel the Pearl White....
