Brand new 2009 Z still at the dealership

TopHatter

I just test drove a 2009 370Z at Sutherlin Nissan in Fort Myers Florida a couple days ago. The salesman said they were desperate to sell it, as they were paying taxes on it.

As much as I would've liked to have stepped inside and talk some numbers, I was not and am not ready to buy and will not be for another year, maybe 2.

The test drive was nice and I finally got to feel what it's like to drive one of these beautiful automobiles...although I had a few doubts here and there.

First, if the dealership has had this car for more than a year (or so), I can only imagine how many people have taken it out and beaten on it. The trip said 600+ miles, if I was reading it correctly and at the time I didnt know how to switch to the odo (I do now, gotta love that owner's manual link!). So I might have been looking at the odo. Doesn't matter, because I'll be damned if I'm going to buy a brand new car with that many miles on it.

On the other hand...what do you folks think the dealership would let that car go for?

wat were the options on the car?

I bought my 2009 last January and it had ~300 miles on it. I had the same concerns as you did and I figured it got it's fair share of test drives. But I got over that pretty quickly and the Z has been great. I got a good deal and you should get an even better deal on a 2009 now... Don't let that stop you from getting one, in fact, that is the only way to go unless you got $ to burn. (I don't)

It was fairly loaded, to believe the salesguy, the only thing missing that I could see was the Nav system, which was just fine by me.
Oh believe you me, if I didnt still owe a goodly amount on my Mitsu Eclipse, I'd be owning that beauty right now

Jamaica

trade it in

Man I was (and am) so damn tempted. Trying to be fiscally responsible though.

Ask him to "Make an offer you can't refuse! I did the same thing for my 2009 Z in 2010...They gave me $10,000 on trade for my 2007 Altima with over 90K miles.

stick to your guns man, i'm in the same boat as you trying to get rid of a POS chevy cobalt that i still owe a little over $10k on, but then again i'm paying a crap load extra to get out from it faster every month just so i can get my Z come next fall. Who knows, if you wait for next year they make some minor revisions to the design like they do every 3 or 4 years to all their models and it may be something you like better than the current Z's design as sexy as it already is
