I might have to give up my spot. I've had some unforeseen housing issues. So if there is anybody in Massachusetts who wants my spot, contact me and we'll talk. It's been a bad week already and i'm not happy about it possibly having to give up my spot. This is not a con job. So if anyone is serious, you can contact me via e-mail at trancebeatz1@hotmail.com

What if you all take the $5000, and early next year, when the pre-orders are satisfied, and the nissan 350z hit the floors at the dealers, supply and demand law makes the price skyrocket up another $10000. you'd all be in the hole an extra $5000, plus you'd be assed out of riding around in your new z. its just not worth it to me, 10,000 is certainly a double take situation, but im so psyched about my z, i would probably say no to selling my spot. the experience is just worth more than $10000.
....however i'd do it for $15000, so call me at 555-1234 for this limited time offer
.....just kidding.

If he's willing to pay it, I'm willing to wait a few months. After all, it's cash I don't have to pay later. woooo hooooo

I'm going to go out on a limb here and speak my mind. I find it unconscionable that the founder of my350z.com would actually scalp a place in line for a pre-order Z. When scalping took place in the first few months of the E46 M3 order process, people were being burned at the stake for even mentioning trying to sell a place in line, yet over here, it's all cool.
I would hope that the individual you are raping is some rich tool who just wants to jump on the Z bandwagon because they think the car is "neat" and not an honest enthusiast who couldn't make it into the pre-order process.

.Just because he has created a top notch Z website doesn't mean that by selling his pre-order an "unconscionable" act was commited. Who knows, he might actually reinvest the $4,500 into this site. Which is a benefit for you and everyone else here.

Your right. I would call a dealer who is charging $5000 over cost and having to wait until Jan. of '03 raping me. Hell, one dealership i went to in March of '02 did this.
But the fellow Jay is dealing with is getting the car in September. So it's still a great deal for only $4,500.

I take it you did not order the first week in January when a ton of people were SCREAMING about their dealers trying to charge one cent over MSRP. Do you remember those days? I guess it's a Federal crime for a dealer to charge over MSRP, but we'll glady stick each other with a "convenience" charge if the price is right.
Cool.

i often think about this droidekaus...I always think about how cool it would be to put the car in the paper and charge a 5 k premium. I think there is a very good possibility of this being possible.
...but I feel like I was at the forefront of the march against price gouging so I would rather gouge my own eyes out instead of stick it to an enthusiast.
HOWEVER....droidekaus, if the person offering the 5k had a supercar for everyday of the week, and the Z would be for Friday's, then wouldnt you?

I know what the point is here with price gouging, but even though it might not be the most ethical choice Jay'd still have $5k in his pocket and you'd just be some dude on the internet with an opinion.
If I could find somebody who wanted to spend an extra $10k (Im not as cheap) to get the car 6 months sooner, I'd sell it to him too. It's not like the guy Jay is selling to doesn't understand what's going on and that he'd have his chance to negotiate with a dealer for MSRP later, and if having the car that much sooner is worth $5k to him, then by all means make a buck.
Just a matter of priorities. $5000 is a nice chunk of change to get for simply being patient.
