Dealership Scam?

red6spd · 06-03-2010, 08:47 AM

You tell them what you want and they will get it. I'm going on about a month and a half of waiting time because no dealer had my car, it was found on the ship on its way over from Japan.

If that's what she said, then what's so difficult to understand? Go get your money!!! While your there, ask for a quote. Then go to the other dealers and get their quotes. Then decide who you want to deal with.

Ok...so I'll be heading to the dealership to claim my prize. I know for a fact that they will try to sell me one of their inventory Z's. Should I just settle for a 40th Z? I believe they have 2 40th Z on their lot last time I was there. If I can get the price down to 34k...possibly...good price?

Now, I want a Touring + Sport + 6MT
Bofore, the only difference is the Solid Red exterior.

Don't settle for something you don't want. You'll regret it later.

Just go get your money. What are you worried about? Peer pressure? It's not like they're going to try to make you smoke a joint or anything. Lol

If I choose to buy the 40th Z, I can be driving it by the end of today. If I choose the Solid Red, I will not be in a Z until the end of this year. The 40th Z is growing on me. It's not a flashy color, but is really nice in person. How much more am I paying for the 40th package?

stormcrow · 06-03-2010, 11:32 AM

The 40th's color is much nicer than the Solid Red. But, if you prefer the red, then do not "settle" for the 40th. Just hold out to get what you want. Have you checked Autotrader, Cars.com or eBay for a 370 suited exactly as you want it?

I agree. The 40th looks way nice than Solid Red.

I wouldn't settle either, you're in Cali I'm sure theres a dealership somewhere that has a red z.

Contact some of the dealerships that use this forum, I'm sure they will be able to help you.

Expand your search to include the entire country. I am sure you could work in shipping as part of the deal with just about any dealership. Especially one that is hurting right now. Look at dealerships in the obscure areas (rural) of the country.

Yeah...Invoice should be no problem.... A plane ticket and a cool roadtrip and the car you want will be in your garage! BTDT, getting ready to do it again!
