Bad Dealership experience

Zaku · 07-03-2009, 01:43 AM

Thanks alot for the extra help, Yellow. But now you put me in a Red vs Blue. Situation cause man MB is really nice, there was one at the dealer I went to and It really catches my attention. Most of it anyways. I really don't need the sport but, that Silver might be worth it, I hate how you can't haggle at carmax.
I'm going to search for a white one really quick. Give it like a week to get my thoughts together then I'll go buy the right Z. I'm not sure if Im going to jump on it right way. I have somethings that I really hate about the car. Like No Space for anything and how hard it is for me to see out the front and back. SO once i getover these things. Which wont take too long I'll go get one of these cars. Thank you for your help =)

Base with nothing ... no.

Spend time reading threads here. You missed out on the VPP stuff, but there are alternatives almost as good.

Try using overstock.com to locate your car.

I don't like Carmax's no haggle policy either, but you can see that their no haggle price beats the one you haggled for by nearly a thousand bucks.

When you are ready to buy I would stay away from dealers in Rockville, Silver Spring, Bethesda, and Germantown. They think everyone that walks through the door is loaded and they tend to not give the best deals. I have bought many cars through the years, and everytime I shop down that way the prices are always much higher than they are in the Baltimore metro area. You can still get your car serviced at a dealer that is closer to you. Like I said, I bought mine at Tischer which isn't too far from you. Tischer is a dump and it's ghettofabulous, but they have always given me a good price on a car.

I really think (the really is suppose to make the comentary that much more important right ;P) that the white/black/silver really washes the lines of the car out. This car really is jaw dropping - at least in my city there are non-stop comments and complements even getting pedestrians stoping to talk to me at intersections and cross walks. People see the lines of the car and are really blown away.

The other thing is white/black/silver is the colour of every third car on the street. There are some other muted blue/green, etc but not many with the vibrant colours Nissan is using on this car. On of the Chevy dealership owners commented that the Blue looked like a Japanese Anime colour and that most vehicles would have a tough time pulling that colour off but it looked great on the 370Z....

I'd go with the Red even though that is a very common sports car colour it still looks super sharp - that's why its so popular. I doubt red would be any worse than the other colour sitting outside if you take care of it. Yellow is going to be very rare and unique as well since this is the only year with the yellow....

Blue was my first choice, but some "jerk" in my area has a blue one. There's at least one, maybe two blue 370z's in my area...

Platinum was my second choice (no dice w/ options I wanted at price I wanted) Yellow is too "look at me" for my likes...I don't care for red, that leaves silver and black.

Black they had w/ options I wanted, none that I didn't except auto vs manual - after test driving it, I was happy to take the auto.

I talked to my sales and he said he talk to his manager, its his day off so I didn't want to bother him, if they'll beat the price for carmax's blue one then ill happily take the red one. I told them that they had a bout 3 days because I will go to white marsh on my day off to look at that blue one. I think Blue would definitely go well with me more then red anyways. I'm going to try that silver one too but well see, because I'm still searching for that white one I really want, I don't even care if I got to go up to more northrthen state or southern for it if its worth my time its worth it.
