It's like dating hot chicks. Some are going to be more uninhibited (i.e. sluttier/skankier) than others, but since you wanted to hit it, you just have to not think about how many guys she's been with, feed her some more shots of patron and rip that sh*t up.

gbrettin · 01-30-2011, 07:01 PM

Hah! I just picture a couple of guys driving it like Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

At least it's under warrenty right

It's too late now, just enjoy it.

After the break-in period, I'd find a nice long straightaway and top her out. Then I'd go to a big empty parking lot and do some donuts and figure eights.

the only real issue i have with the whole deal is at 700 miles he should have never paid sticker price plus 400.00.

not when you can buy them all day long under msrp... 2 to 3 grand

SPOHN · 01-30-2011, 07:41 PM

^ that's true. But it's to late now.

PapoZalsa · 01-30-2011, 08:48 PM

I got mine with 200 miles because it was driven from another state, none available (color & Sport Pckg) at the end of 2009 in this damn state.

However, 700 miles is way to much!

Milenko2121 · 01-31-2011, 02:26 PM

I got mine with 16 miles on it. I was weird about it having that much.
700... just wow.

But as everyone said, it's too late. Just enjoy her. This Fairlady is meant to be driven, not locked away in a garage.

I won't ever let a dealer transfer a car - i would just go to that dealer and buy it.
I would not of taken deliver, I don't think there is much you can do now.

Enjoy the car

red6spd · 01-31-2011, 02:54 PM

Just get the rear wheels off the ground with some jack stands and run her in reverse untill you got 0 miles. Just be careful where you do it.

kenchan · 01-31-2011, 02:54 PM

it's a done deal. just enjoy the car OP. ask yourself i you love the car. if yes, then forget about it. just dont make the same mistake next time.

kielbasa16 · 01-31-2011, 03:23 PM

I agree that you shouldnt drive yourself crazy with what-ifs. I do however also agree that you might be able to squeeze some free stuff out of your dealer for the trouble. I got my splash guards for free because the dealer failed to mention a scratch that they knew about and tried to buff out.

Baer383 · 01-31-2011, 07:47 PM

As long as everything is in perfect working order and no scratches then the odometer reading is irrelevant.

AlphaSnacks · 01-31-2011, 09:39 PM

You have no one to blame but yourself. When the car arrived with that many miles, you should've walked right there. My dealer found my car in Rochester/Niagra Falls and offered to drive it down here. I said no, I want a truck to deliver it here, it's too much mileage and rock chips. So they covered 60% of the delivery cost (they would've covered 100% if they could find a few more cars they wanted from the dealer up there to transport).

Anyway, your warranty also begins from the mileage the car was first registered at.
