The couple days before your Z

enkei2k · 12-15-2012, 10:52 AM

I totally forgot about it until I called them on the Friday of the week it was expected to arrive. Turns out it was sitting on the lot since Tuesday or Wednesday. Good thing it was good weather that entire week.

I promptly picked it up that Saturday lol.

4 hours until I pick up the rental to drive to DC.
26.37 hours until I drive the new Z.

Just a reminder about getting a car far from home. Examine the car thoroughly in all respects before you accept delivery. Mine looked perfect the night I got it but when I hand washed it the next day, I discovered a hard-to-see ding. I was already back in PA from DC where I, also, had bought mine. My very good local Nissan dealer correctly determined it was located in a place that would be very difficult to repair. I'd have to tear a brand new car apart, etc. to get to it . To this day, I still have trouble finding it. But it's there. Be thorough and take your time. Had I seen it, I would have demanded and would have received another identical unit in inventory.

Oh man you're gonna be stoked when you get in it for the first time! You should request them to not detail the interior and leave all the plastics on. Idk why but I love removing those things for the first time.

All the finance managers are tricky b*stards!

I hate dealing with finance. That is why 99% of the time I get a pre-approved loan and go with a check ready to go.

The wait is always nail biting

But oh so worth it. Congrats on the purchase.

CDepp · 12-16-2012, 10:42 PM

Thanks all. I'm at 12 hours and counting...

I bought springs, sways and a set of wheels while the car was two weeks out after I bought it. The day before I got it, I powdercoated the wheels. Then on delivery, I drove it home, put it on jack stands and swapped everything out and powdercoated the calipers too.

I don't even remember the days before to be honest, lol. I was so excited.

SkiDoggAC · 12-17-2012, 11:25 AM

I called the dealer every other day for 3 weeks when I was waiting for mine to show up. To be fair it took 4 months to get here...

CDepp · 12-17-2012, 11:50 AM

Picking up now. The owner is having detailed for when I first see it. Exciting times, indeed!!

VDC_OFF · 12-17-2012, 12:01 PM
