Sorry it happened to you, but it will feel good when you find the right dealer. Calling Nissan or the GM won't get you any satisfaction, but might get that salesman/manager in trouble. Just get yourself the satisfaction of geeting a good deal at a good dealership!

How does an 18 yro manage that considering your credit doesn't get establish for another 2 yrs? I'm confused...

Possibilities:
1. Rich parent (Very likely)
2. saved all his childhood money for a 370z (I doubt it)
3. Robbed a bank (Huge possibility)
4. A drug dealer (Maybe but I doubt a drug dealer would roll a 370z. Ova here drug dealer roll with huge tires with big shiny rims)

You sound intelligent and articulate, and also appear to be civil and level headed. I assume you have a decent job and can afford the Z or you would not have been there. If that is the case, I would have politely, in an intelligent and articulate manner, REAMED THEM A NEW A$$HOLE :tup:

Something like : "Sir let me explain something to you...... I am 25 years old and work for XXXXXXXXXXX. I am self suffcient, manage my money properly, and can easily afford this automobile. My beacon credit score is excellent. Now if you want to continue to insult me by assuming a 25 year old is incapable of having their act together, I CAN carry my business elsewhere, but I did want to by local and do my part to stimulate the economy in the community I live in...... your call, you wanna work with me here or do I need to go elsewhere?"

I hate it when people make sweeping generalizations about something, instead of looking at the case at hand. Everything about you from your post says you had your act together, it's a shame you were treated this way.
