Silverstone 350Z Enthusiast available NOW in So Cal...
OMG I HATE LIFE for this... but just trying to be a nice guy and inform you all of this opportunity.
It's the same exact order as my pre-order, so why don't I just get it myself??? I WOULD, but my F*CKING car is going in the body shop tomorrow to get the repair done by that DRUNK DRIVER HOMO... DAMN!
Well, you can go get it. It's at MY DEALERSHIP, Douglas Nissan of Orange. 714-875-2803.
Silverstone with only the floormats and kickplates as options (to my knowledge). I'm going to go see it later today after work... but if you're interested and buy it, PLEASE let me sit in it at least for telling you.
BOOO HOOO!!!

No way are they selling it at MSRP from Douglas Nissan of Orange. They were already selling PRE-ORDERS at $2,000 over sticker. I should know, I initially pre-ordered from there in Feb 2002, but canceled a few days later when I found another dealer in SoCal that would PRE-ORDER at MSRP.

Well, maybe you didn't negotiate very well...
I got MSRP with $500 refundable deposit from Douglas Nissan.
However, I must admit that the person who called me about the car available now didn't seem like he wanted to sell at MSRP.

I drive by that dealership every day on my way home.
I don't stop there now, and I won't ever, even after I have my Z.

One good thing I can say about Douglas Nissan, is that $2K over is better than the $10K over the crooks at Garden Grove Nissan want.

Went to check it out
BullishZ, long time no talk. Thanks for the heads up on Douglas Nissan! I work in Orange, so I went to see the car. Finally got the chance to see what my Silverstone will look like. Great color, I couldn't be happier.
I met with Younis just so I could check out the car and try to convince him to allow a little test drive.
He tried to get me in the car right then and there... until I asked him to go grab the keys. He came back to say "Sorry, we just sold it." Fine by me, no worries. I didn't want an auto Enthusiast without NAV anyway. I'll gladly wait for my Performance.
The car was marked up $4,995. I think for people coming in with pre-orders elswhere they would "cut a deal" for only $2K over MSRP. Screw that! Oh those sneaky Nissan dealers. I still don't think they realize that all of us here know our Zs and this entire process inside and out...

I just called them, and they confirmed that it was sold. I didn't know it was AUTO with NAV!!! SCREW THAT! Well, it's not supposed to be delivered to the buyer until "later" so maybe I'll drive by there around 4pm and see if I can get a look at her...

The pic is of the salesman who shook hands on a "pretend" deal with Pointfivezero...
Remember, I am a my350z.com freak and one of the old timers... I read almost every thread!

VERY VERY NICE...
First time seeing the car, and I must admit I am very impressed. The 17inch wheels look more than decent... Although 18inchers would be awesome. The paint was very nice as well.... lots of sparkling specks of metallic stuff.
Now I can't wait until OCTOBER... SHIET!

I stopped by the Douglas Nissan dealership in Las Vegas today. I saw that they had three silver Z's in stock, and although my pre-order is due soon (from another out-of-state dealer), I wanted to check out the cars in person.
They had one that was "available" now for $10,000 over sticker, and they actually sold it while I was there for $8000 over, to an old couple who seemed pretty clueless (the car was an automatic). I asked them why they paid so much, and the husband responded, almost proudly, "That's what you've gotta pay if you wan't one." The wife looked at him admiringly, as if her husband had just scammed a great deal for them. I didn't have the heart to tell them I paid MSRP. Of course, they have their car a few weeks earlier than me. Yeah....that's worth $8000.
Just to see what he'd say, I asked the sales manager what it would cost if I wanted one in maybe six or eight months. He replied, "$10,000 over. The whole first year production is sold out, and they're only building 12,000 cars. It'll be years before you can get one at MSRP." Now I know most salesman are pretty damn stupid, but either this guy gets the prize for being Nissan's most uninformed sales manager of the month, or he's as slimey as they come. I did hear him tell someone else who was looking at the Z's that next year Nissan was raising the price of the 2004 by $10,000, and that the base price of $27,000 was an introductory deal for the first year only.
These are the most repelling bunch of sales geeks I've ever seen in my life. This was the first time I was ever in one of Douglas' dealerships, and it will be my last.
