Default almost made a huge mistake

Ok hope this fits here. Went by local dealership for transmission service on my 05 350z 6mt.So anyway while they were working on my car i walked over to the showroom and there was a red 09 370z touring model listed at 39,995 but marked down to 33,000.Well one thing led to another and before i knew it they had me approved and ready to sign the papers! Boy was the sales guy pissed when i backed out on the deal.I just couldn't bring myself to do it.There's just something about the 350 i can't let go.You guys understand.Didn't mean to ramble.

No not under warranty. Couldn't do it myself not anyone else in my area i trust to do it.
Though it did cost 125.00. But cheaper than a new transmission.

I wouldn't say i wasted his time that's his job,he just didn't close the deal.
The whole point of the thread was being torn between two very good sports cars and for now choosing one over the other.

Nevermind these *** hats. I for one am glad you didn't downgrade to that nasty abortion of a car. Davidv is just pissy because well he always is, but in addition because you rejected his abomination of a z car
