Here you go.

 

Your thread was totally misleading, Nissan wants info on emissions not Roush and it could be a completely different Roush than the one associated with Ford.

 

The power of google.


Give them a call, this is a different roush and not the ford guys.

Really? The "Roush Industries" link at the bottom of the roushperformance.com page leads to these guys. Building 4 on the campus.

 

Normally when I get something weird like this it is from a dealer trying to trick you into trading your car in.

This doesn't look like that type of situation, I would just give them a call and get additional info. $300 is a nice payoff for little effort on your part.

 

GTR loaner perhaps? One could wish. And wish. And then wish some more. 370Z roadster would be cool too. I'll give them a call and let you all know what I find out.

 

Cool. After a quick glance, the letter looks legit to me. Assuming it's legit, I wish my 04 were selected.

 

You're going to rent them your car for two weeks for $300, a loaner, a tank of gas, and a wash job.

The least they could do is throw in a KY lube job, too. I suspect you'll need it.

 

Nissan is a multi-billion dollar corporation that cannot afford to buy 10 350Zs for R&D? Lets get real.

 

If it's legit I would take it

 

Sure, they can afford it but if all they need to do is some emissions tests, then why would they bother? What what they do with them afterward? They'd need to go through the pain of selling them and any potential liability associated with it or finding some other use for them.

Surely the above would be more of a pain, besides being more costly than doing what the letter says...

 

With their extensive dealer network, you'd think they could find ten suitable used trade-ins to borrow from their dealers.

 

Is there a reason why you're not allowed to be there for the dyno testing of your own car? Personally, that would be the deal breaker for me. No one touches my car unless I'm there. Period.

 

if it's legit i assume there are other people on here who received the same letter. they should chime in and confirm.

 

The letter looks pretty legit but, it would not be hard at all to forge this letter. The Nissan logo and Roush information you could get off Google and any Kinkos could create those envelopes.

Think about how easy this scam would be. A couple of guys rent some vehicles, forge a letter, and send it out to a bunch of people to see if anyone bites.

Next thing you know someone is handing you the keys to a rental car that is about to be reported stolen and they just hauled off a $20,000 car. Their letter says it will take “about 1 to 2 weeks. However, occasionally it may extend longer”. So, by the time you realize something is wrong your car is already parted out and the guys long gone. Seems like the perfect plan to me!

Like the person said below, could be legit, but not likely.

 

u hit every point spot on...btw ill be sending out letters next week for some R@D!!! lmao

 

Well, I called Nissan consumer affairs and was not surprised that they knew nothing about this.

I then called Roush (the number on their web site) and after a few words the nice lady knew exactly what I was calling about. She explained that they do this testing for many manufacturers. She also explained that they are required to test vehicles that are actually in normal service. I left a message for Dan (from the letter) for more info.

 

Could one of the mods kindly correct my stupid spelling mistake on the thread title?

 

How did you scan the letters when you previously posted you trashed them? Just curious.

 

With all the commotion going on in here I had to go and dig it out. No dumpster diving just the trash can out in the garage. When I tossed it I wasn't thinking "scam" just that there had to be a catch.

When everyone started talking scam I grew a bit concerned because if it is a scam, someone knows my name, address, vin#. OTOH I suspect these things might be easily obtained these days.

I decided to get to the bottom of it if I could. Maybe it will help someone else here in the future.
