Call from the dealership

ejrives · 06-21-2009, 11:51 PM

Yesterday the GM of finance called me, from the dealership where I purchased. He wants to buy my car back no matter the payoff and give me $7,000 factory to dealer incentives on a new nissan, honda or VW. ( interesting that all 3 have factory to dealer cash now ) All he could really say is that I have to schedule an appointment to talk and make a new purchase by the 30th. No word if I coluld get another Z or not. Seems kinda strange to me. Thoughts, suggestion or similar stories?

I wonder if Ent-Z got the same call, since we both bought at the same dealership.

Hmm WTF? keep this updated ... sounds un-normal

Indeed, update us. This sounds interesting at the LEAST. This may be the turn of a factory recall (fat chance).

so basicly sell your z. get 100% money back then get 7k?

SOme how my brain is thinking maybe you have some special proto type 370z that was not supposed to be shipped to a dealer and sold to you hahah.

The other part of my brain is saying maybe theres something really wrong with your Z and it was never suppoesd to fall into your hands.

I would show up in a unmarked car not the z he wants of course and figure out whats going on for sh@ts and giggles.

oh yeah on a side note, you have fell very sentimentaly in love with your Z and parting with it for 7k extra still may not sever the emotional bond you have with it haha wink wink

Just a hypothetical

The dealership might have gotten a cash offer above the sale price you got it for as long as they can acquire the car by the 1st of July. They buy the Z back and give you incentives which are not a big deal to them and rake in a cash above asking price sale on the Z. Two sales for them.

Just check the back hatch and make sure you didn't overlook the duffle bag full of cash sitting back there...

All I can say is don't be too

Good luck brother!

There is a Retro incentive going on right now and if you hit the number you reviece some cash, but Z don't count. $7,000.00 Factory Incentive, they must be owned my NISSAN..lol. Cause I have never heard of such a thing

Interesting! fwiw , Im in STL and it's one of your competition dealers in Hazelwood....still kinda kicking myself in the pants for going through them

ejrives · 06-22-2009, 03:16 PM

Anyways, I've scheduled an appointment later this week. I'll keep everyone posted. They weren't allowed to talk about it on the phone at all , which makes it more of a gimmick in my mind. I'm thinking their marketing company screwed up because "sales" like this are generally the dealership hunting for two year old cars.

Sorry Semtex no hidden oil coolers

When you get there, remember to keep the mouth closed so the hook doesn't go all the way down the throat. Trust me he will be using 10k pound test line and a net to land a big one like you.

The whole thing is

oh, I'm fully aware. Luckily , my job involves lots of numbers. Those F&I guys don't scare me at all. I actually caught a "mistake" in their favor for $500 when I purchased initially.

Anyways, this is more of a reputation test than anything. I'd like to at lest be able to say don't buy from these shitbags to the other members on here.

I don't plan on buying anything unless it's some insane, crazy deal and even then it's like a 2% chance. I <3 my Z!
