Unbelievable..Good luck with the rest of your life. You're gonna need it with an attitude like that...
NO NO NO! Damn...I'm terrible at explaining! Asian parents don't care much about me spending anything "extra" to get my hands on the car. It's a deal breaker for them...

Now I'm coming off as a weiner, aren't I?! Sorry about the misunderstanding

Damn. It's a gift for getting into Dental School. Probably shouldn't have mentioned that part, eh?

My parents bought me a college education. So at a time when I was saving money my peers were paying back student loans. Years later I am able to buy a Z. But I will say if I ever got to a place in life were I could afford college for three kids and a great new car for each, I would. It's not you fault your parents are able to do things like this. Just try not to brag

Back in the 80s, one of my friends bought a brand new Toyota Supra. Everyone thought he was rich, but in fact he never had money to spend on lunch or dinner and in the trunk of his Supra was full of Ramen noodles.

Either way I think it's still a small price to pay to get the car you want shipped without having someone else driving it. You'll regret it more if you get a car you don't really want and saved a few bucks. Then again being asian, I understand your dilemma lol

If I were you, I'd make it a road trip and try to drive the car back yourself.

LOL I'm considering. Switched to another dealer in Puyallup. They're so much more friendlier. They offered to drive me, and pick it up. Unfortunately, we discovered that the remaining 2010 MB was in Idaho; will have to ship or wait for another MB coming in May. Thanks all for your thoughts! Greatly appreciated.

C. VPP only works for in-stock

Hope that helps.

In regards to B, I originally thought that was the case but I guess it's up to the dealership to take a chance or maybe depends how their insurance is set up.

After I picked up my car, it was late saturday and they let me take the car home for the weekend and come back on Monday to do the paperwork. It still had untitled vehicle dealer plates. I wonder what they would do if something happened to the car and I refused to buy it. I never actually signed anything and I don't remember them even taking my driver's license lol

I drive dealer trades for our local Nissan Dealer. I am 67 years old and have done this type of spare time work since my retirement 7 years ago. As you can see I currently own a 370 and owned a 350 since August of 02. Myself and several other "Ole Timers" do this type of work and don't expect to make a living doing so. But the Dealers still do pay us. They in turn must recoup their expenses to send us after your car. That includes our salaries, food, gas, tolls (if they apply) and any other expense that may result in obtaining your car for you. We not only drive them back but we also will pull trailers (only those of us that have experience) to get your car. Since traffic tickets can mean the lose of our jobs, we only drive at posted highway speeds. We are held responsible for any damage to your car and are expected to pay the insurance deductible (in our case that's $1000). So you can see that we drive them very safe. We don't take any chances or speed. So its safe to say that having a dealer do a "Dealer Trade" for your new "Z" is a quick and easy way for you to get the car of your choice quickly and safely............

Honestly if something would have happened to the car, it would have been on the dealer not you. Might be a long drawn out law suit , but they would still be the owner of the car.

MS,

Thank you very much for your post. You've set me at ease. I used to work for Acura of Bellevue in high school. Lot attendants were sent to Oregon, etc. to fetch cars and drive them back. Unfortunately, there wasn't a single car that I went to fetch, but I heard stories. What's the dealer to know about something they don't know of? Nissan actually mentioned the "old timers" part, but in all honesty, I just thought they were full of it! Thank you MS.

Eric
