I'm starting to get annoyed by all the people asking me how much my car cost. Do people just have no manners these days? I was brought up not to ask questions like that unless the owner opened the subject.

I've had people at gas stations, red lights, work, shopping centers, etc just ask me, a total stanger, how much my car cost. It makes me very uncomfortable, because 1) it is none of their business, and 2) I don't want to sound like I'm boastful about my car. If they're so curious, there are better and more tactful ways to find out...like the internet.

-annoyed

 

just tell them that it is a 90,000 dollar car because it is a special edition

 

Agreed!

 

it bothers me too, I typicly tell them 25000$, just cause that seems so much better than 30, if you tell them that, they get a different attitude. I actually told one guy it had a 4 cyl in it....

Im not wierd about telling people how much it is, I dont car, its not sensitive information that they couldnt get on the internet, but they just act differently.

 

Actually I think people ask for 2 reasons.Curiosity and it really is a compliment.The Z looks expensive.Most people can not believe the car costs from 35k and under.

 

Some guy asked me "How much does that car cost?" at the gas station a week ago. I said around 30,000. He was like I thought it was in the 40,000 range.

 

I just normally say anywhere from $26K-$35K or so, if I answer.

I just find it is kind of a rude thing to ask.

The next question is normally "How fast will it go?", or "How fast have you had that up to?" Both are less rude, if a little pointless

 

I paid msrp: 37k....why does everyone keep saying Z's max out at 35k?

 

Actually, I enjoy it when ppl ask about my car (price, power, spd, etc.).... I usually just tell'em that it starts out at around $26K and watch their jaws drop..... I guess our Z's do LOOK pretty expensive...

 

'cause we ignore the expensive NAV

 

How do you think we feel in Canada? They sell for $45000 here and we get asked the same question all the time , but not too many vehicles sell in that range, it's definitely high end here.

 

:shrug: I don't mind being asked how much it cost.. I think everyone who has asked me anything about the car has also asked that question, so I'm kind of getting used to it. Most people who have asked me also think it's too expensive (WTF?), then I take them for a ride and show them what the car offers and they change their mind.

 

Also...what kind of gas mileage does it get? My answer...who f**#in' cares!

 

Haven't had the gas question yet.

 

i dont usually mind when ppl ask, most of the time it is out of innocent curiousity, which is ok to me.

 

I always say more than 5 less than 50.



They seem to get the point.

 

yeh that really pisses me off!!!!


So how much is the retail 350z run? abot 35,000$

 

I also don't get why people keep saying $35k.

$37,251, every option on a touring 6 speed with NAV. That's my car.

I can't believe the people that say $25k and whatnot. Do you really want every person who doesn't even know what a Z is to run out and buy one, because it "looks cool"? ugh! If someone asks, I say just shy of $40k out the door, for my car.

 

I got my base for under 26K out the door. There is such a wide cost span due to which model you get. When someone asks me, I say 26K.

 

it sure looks like an expensive car, just look at the style of it, the design and of course the performance u could almost be sure that it should be selling over 40k for that car but guess what? it's not!!
