Import, PM me what the combination you want on your Z again? Let me talk to my guy for you real quick and see what he can do. Remember I'm in DFW Tx. So if you're good with that? Lemme know.

They short people and monty blue and black cherry. According to dealerships. There's only 3 colors to sell. Most will either have, black white and silver or black red and gun metallic. Other colors you kind of draw blind luck. Especially in tx and the states all the way around us...
Now let's say you get a blue or black cherry? You will find it lacks a sport package or it doesn't have nav or is a base sport when you want touring. Or it has nav when you don't want one.
Its a nissan money making scheme. That's why in the end I feel the touring isn't worth the money. My advice would be. When and if Mr. Nash jumps back on here with the discount offer around aprilish-may? Jump on it and grab hopefully find your model. Its the 2 months in the year when there are a lot of Z's on lots. Its like its the only time nissan even tries to sell a Z.
I've been noticing this seasonal pattern and I'm beginning to think nissan is actually forcing there cars to be low volume. The things they do truly are in the opposite of trying to sell this car. They truly have a "sell it the way we give it or step attitude." It might be for the reason of selling low numbers?

Maybe. I am almost becoming flexible on color, though. Not options. Base interior is not what I want. I'm trying to have something that is better for road-tripping than my Z06, not worse.

I would take black and consider strongly red or silver. I haven't owned a black car in a year and a half. I will say, though, that white is harder to keep clean than black. Argue all you want.

My dealer has a few black and red cars they have gun and white too. I was by there last week. I will look into it.

Anyway, if one stumbles along in a reasonable color (I don't want another white car, and I am not a fan of Nissan's blue), and I don't want the grey/silver interior because it would stain to hell FAST! I bet, then I will do the deal if I can either drive to get the car, or get my dealer to dealer-trade (my dealer is willing).

*Frustration*.

Oh, and my dealer has confided that they cannot even order a 370Z. They tried twice. No-go.

Anyway, I guess I will have to go sulk and drive my Z06 in the mean-time :driving:

Fontana Nissan has another car just like mine: GM, Touring, Sport, Nav, Manual. Contact Danny there if you are interested. Like I said, took me 9 months total to get my car (fully optioned), but totally worth the wait. I love it.

Where?

Would they do a dealer trade? I'm not driving 2000 miles. Also, it's not listed on their website. They do have a black one and a white one, though, which is why I ask about dealer trade.

You see even less Z-stangs!

Only one in the world, baby. :tup:

i'll be keeping mine for a while... at least 6-7yrs. maybe longer. i donno. it would really depend on how much time i will have to motor this car.

i really like the Z, as much as i like my 8yr old G35C (original owner). :)

USMCASA 01-04-2012 11:26 AM

:eek: I bought a beater because mine is getting close to 25K.

NYBladeZ 01-04-2012 12:09 PM

I think I'll keep mine, then again I tend to get vested in cars so I can see myself building her and keeping her for the long run.

TheGreatOne 01-04-2012 12:56 PM

I am definitely keeping mine as long as a I can. Even with the new baby, still finding ways to keep her lol

I actually got mine with a few K's on it last year...the original owner brought it back to the same dealer because he couldn't afford it (had 3 cars already or something)

Dealer told me thats the main reason they ever got a GTR or Z back...

kenchan 01-04-2012 12:59 PM

thegreatone- you can do it! i have 2 little kids. :p
