This is why they are going to install the rear storage cover system that doesn't come with the Base interior! I should have asked for the better pedal
covers that come with the Touring interior! :rolleyes:
!!Of course I did get the car 2.5% below invoice before options through employee friends/family
program!! ;)

They did us a favor it was even closer to being broke in. lol

Yeah... I bought mine on Friday the 13th of this month...:stirthepot:

alvinmathew88 04-19-2009 11:13 PM

When we bought our 08 Infiniti M35, it had 45 miles.

frost 04-19-2009 11:49 PM

Picked up my 370 with 8 miles on her.

antennahead 04-19-2009 11:57 PM

Mine had 28, but had just arrived at the dealership. More importantly to me is that it had just arrived. My '06 had sat at the dealership for almost 2 months by my calculations, and outside at that. It had a nasty case of acid rain "etching" on the hood that I was never able to fully buffed out. The 370Z finish was perfect.

I was lucky... I didn't order mine. I walked into a dealership and saw the only yellow 370. It still had the plastic on it. I purchased it that same day with only 7 miles on it. 4 of which were from test driving it.

frost 04-20-2009 12:35 AM

^ I didn't order mine either, I just happened to go to the dealership while they were prepping my beauty in the back. It didnt even hit the showroom floor yet.

gginaz 04-20-2009 01:10 AM

8 miles on mine and ran out of gas on the way to fill up with the salesman

crbn_fbr 04-20-2009 01:13 AM

6 miles when it came off the car hauler

BertVermaas 04-20-2009 05:00 AM

I had exactly 1 mile on it, when I backed it out of the container

tvfreakazoid 04-20-2009 05:02 PM

I agree with you on that one. U know that people that test drives these or even the guys or gals that work there take those cars to close to redline. When i test drove one the guy was practically flooring it. I some what did the same thing.

I dont see how that equals 4 miles or more. I wont be taking delivery of my Z if it has more than 4 miles on it. unreasonable? I dont care. My roommate took his G off the lot with 4 miles.

shabarivas 04-21-2009 01:25 PM

I will probably redline it as soon as im out of the dealer... and then keep the RPMS all over the place for about 1000 miles w/ a single redline run twice a week....(about every 100 miles)...

Justin1686 04-21-2009 08:16 PM

so i went to the dealer today. and the closest dealer with the car i want is approx 350 miles. they will do a dealer swap for me. but the car will be driven back, instead of trucked back. so my car would come with minimal, 350 miles, and i'd assume it'll have close to 400 with the miles already on it. if i were to get it trucked down, it'd cost me approx $350. what's everyones opinion on this?

frost 04-21-2009 08:19 PM

^ i wouldnt pay the $350. I'd let them drive it.

The only problem with that is it will be driven for 350 miles, probably almost all on the interstate at one speed and one RPM....... not too good for a new engine.

frost 04-21-2009 08:37 PM

I would "like" to think that people driving new cars to destinations are somewhat familiar with nissan's break in policies. But maybe I give them too much credit.

Def get it delivered on a flatbed. $350 is nothing considering you're spending $35,000. It's the money you pay for peace of mind. If you let the guy drive it, (also note that "this guy" could be the 17 year kid that loves to do burnout) there will always be that small unsatisfactory feeling about your car. Even if everything is just the way it suppose to be, there will always be a feeling that car has been abused. Also, nothing feels better than driving off a 4 mile (on odometer) Z. I told my dealer either a. car needs to get here on a flatbed (I'm paying for all expense) or b. Nissan car movers (big trucks that bring Zs from port). He was able to do option 2 so I didn't pay a single dime :tup: BTW, this is MY opinion.

frost 04-21-2009 08:44 PM

Actually, I'd just go there and get it. A nice drive back is a perfect way to get acquainted with your new girl.

LOL, I totally agree with you, but the answer is no they don't. My '06 was driven from another dealership 450 miles, and all of it at one speed on I-95 :mad:

i was told, (i've bought a car from the salesman before), that the guys they use to get the cars from other dealers are retiree's, that the only thing they do for nissan is go get other cars. so it's a little piece of mind. going to get the car myself is practically out of the question with the hours i work, on sat and sun. i wish i could get a nissan car mover, but he didn't make it sound like that was an option.

o0javi0o 04-22-2009 12:43 AM

When I picked my 350z, I got it with 16 miles. It was fairly ok with me.

same here.

tvfreakazoid 04-24-2009 02:24 PM

When I pick up mine i hope it will have negative miles:rofl2:. But I think that is some what impossible so I think with in 4 miles would be good.

EditDave 04-25-2009 12:29 AM

I think mine had 12 miles on it -- 4 of those miles were added by me test driving it. No problem.

snotrocket 04-27-2009 11:03 PM

12 miles when i bought it with 2 miles for the test drive.

WShade 05-24-2009 10:04 PM

Mine had 7.

jstevenson 05-25-2009 12:50 AM

My car had about 100-110 miles on it when I bought it --- it was explained to me that for some reason, a group of Zs were driven up from Long Beach to Glendale, and then from Glendale to the dealership, and that was roughly 70 of those miles.

I'm sure the car was probably test driven a few times, and driven hard. But I also figure that even 15-20 test drives isn't really that bad in the long run. It also worked as some leverage to get an extra amount off the car - which helped me get the deal that I did.

GreenJalapeno 05-25-2009 12:54 AM

^ how much did you get off? :O I am interested in getting something like that.

All said and done it was about 1200 under invoice, though the USAA car-buying service got me a bunch of that, and the mileage on the car got me a bit more.

GreenJalapeno 05-25-2009 01:34 AM

wow maybe i should get friends to come in random days of the week to test drive the car i want. More miles=discount :D

GreenJalapeno 05-25-2009 01:37 AM

Mine had 172 on it when I got back home from Indy where my dealer did a "Dealer Trade" to get it. And I didn't have to pay the $350 to have it done.
