A friend of mine who is a salesman at a dealer here in Florida told me that one of their customers who pre-ordered their Z can't pay for it. He said that due to some personal reason the customer could not complete the deal so the dealer has the car and is going to sell it to someone else. He called me because he knows I want one and offered it to me. He said it is a Touring model and I told him I would wait on a Track model. So I guess anyone anyone can buy it. If you did not get to pre-order go to their website at www.sutherlinnissanmerritisland.com but be sure to ask for George as he is the only cool salesman their.

I have not been able to reach George on the phone, he must be getting a bunch of calls.

Please....
Tell him Dave sent you and you saw it on my350Z.com so I get my $100 referal fee.

Thnx

 

My informants tell me that "someone claiming to be a dealer from New York" called and spoke to a Sales Manager (not the GM as the GM was out of the dealership). As they want the car to be sold to the end user who will actually use and enjoy the car they said the car had been sold, when in fact the car is not sold.

As I am still considering purchasing for myself, I spoke to someone at the dealership today and they said as of 10:00am edt the car was still available. They said they did have numerous call but no one has shown up with the money. They said that they do not hold cars and that whoever gets thier first, in person, with cash, check, or finance gets to drive the car home.

I will let you know when I get back from the dealer right after work today.

...And to that guy in Atlanta...
If you would have called George (not Bill) like I told you to, you might have had a deal.

 

The one they "found" is no mystery. They said the customer that had ordered it could not complete payment due to some personal reasons.

All the dealers I spoke to said they would only sell at MSRP to pre-orders. They said that the demand is so high that any Zs that made it to the dealer would have an addendum just like the Viper or PT Cruiser did when they were in high demand. When the demand is gone in a year or so I'm sure you will be able to get a discount from MSRP. I can't blame them. When the demand for a stock goes up (and the price) I sell mine. Wouldn't you?
