Almost test drove a 370Z

Devil Z · 01-02-2009, 08:37 PM

I finally got to see the 370z also got to jump in it for a quick look around to see what I loved or not. Honestly the salesmen were pure idiots, I mean this guy tried to tell me a base 370z w/o Navi was the touring and priced at 41k. I took a good look and noticed it was a base with the sports package. Also the little flip box thing that replaces the navi feels a little generic, but it comes down to pay to play. I really wanted to test drive it I even got the offer, but I am not buying it marked up 10k more then it should be. And if I was to test drive it this salesmen would of bugged me for months lol. Without any thing else this car is flawless, I am a huge Z fan and my father is a pure American muscle car lover who agreed and loved the car. From the way things look I should hopefully get this car for my 21st birthday in January of 2010. one more year here I come my Fairlady.

That would be an awesome birthday gift. Congrats (hopefully)!

You should've driven it if they were offering. Go back and do it! If they're honestly marking up 10K, they just want to be taken advantage of like they're trying to shaft their customers.

Haha I'm the opposite way. I always take test drives when I go to a dealer.

Devil Z · 01-03-2009, 02:50 AM

I know I should of test drove it, but I'm not ready to buy so I don't want to get bugged every day by the dealer. And to test drive they take down info lol. Still I would like a monterey blue one, and from what I've seen those are hard to come by. Maybe in Arizona they are.

Test drive it and give the salesman a false phone number. That's what I do when I don't want to be bothered. You won't be the first or the last to do this.

Dude, that would be an awesome way to turn 21!

Man, when I was 21 my birthday present was not so great. I had spent years restoring a 60's Italian car to near-showroom condition (with mods of course) and two idiot teenage girls in a Volkswagen Rabbit rear-ended my car (them, 50mph, me zero) and completely totaled it, plus gave me a nagging back injury. My parents took the $10,000 in insurance money and used it to pay bills, so I got a crushed car and a bad back. My mom called it a "miracle" to my face because it let her pay some bills. I didn't quite see it that way.

And yeah, I started over and built another car that I sold years later for about $10,000.
