not by my choice by my gm

he sees it as if you want a deal you deal on what we have on hand....
if you want to get choosy we should get paid for our part of the trouble of getting the car in....and i kinda agree with him
Why is it such a hassle to order cars? There is a holdback anyway, so more cars sold on the lot or not, the better.

I believe manufacturers don't give dealerships the rebates on cars that are ordered. And on cars that are located, the owning dealership I believe gets most, if not all, of the rebates from the manufacturer.

let me tell you something real fast...ive forgotton more about z cars than you will ever learn for one

im willing to bet you didnt even know about a chrome wheel package

when i saw the wheels on the car since they are so knew i was thinking they only came on the performance...i wasnt thinking about color option packages......

you ever made a mistake in your line of work?
yea thought so....

as for my knowledge? well ive got enough to run a multi million dollar a month car dealership

for one pal there isnt a holdback or floorplan assistance or anything for a special order car
....

for 2 why should i sell a car for a deal if i have to order it?
if you order the car and in 90-120 days you change your mind and buy something else....im stuck with your car

now i have a combination that doesnt sell well at my dealership sitting there colecting dust.......and you say how do i know its a combo that doesnt sell well?

well if it was a combo that sold well i would already have it.....

i order the cars that sell well in my region....


you want a deal you buy from my inventory

simple....

if i got to wait for my money im going to charge extra

why would you even question me?im selling cars cheaper than anyone in the country

want a dealer to find a car or order it im the wrong one to deal with.....

i just wont do it....i dont have too...

im not trying to be rude....but the simple fact is if you want a deal you buy what i have on hand....

you dont even know my inventory and you ask why i wont special order?

checkout the gallery forum under colors/ liquid aluminum.... there are few pics there.

The LA option is $1100 more than any other color. I have no idea why, the paint formula doesn't show any high dollar pearls in it, so it doesn't make sense why they charge extra for that color unless it is a limited production color. Maybe Melissa can shed some light on the subject. I would love to know why Nissan charges so much for it. I finally got a chance to compare mine with a CS today. LA is a shade or two lighter if that helps. I personally like the LA better. Is it worth the extra cash, probably not, but i couldn't wait any longer on the Z and thats the only silver touring they had on the lot the day i bought mine.

Hope that helps.

According to the Canadian sales brochure, Liquid Aluminum is available on the Performance and Touring packages, and not on the Track Pack and Roadster packages. Nissan.ca confirms this with their car designer interface. I guess there are some differences between what is offered up here and down there.

I really love these types of posts: "I am not trying ...insert anything here" but then proceed to carry on doing EXACTLY the same thing!!! Go figure.

Judging by the ignorance of proper punctuation, general structure and the tone of your responses it's a wonder that other than a great sale price, people even bother coming back.

Well "Melissa", you're not the first loser to defend themselves with poor excuses and little substance.

Too late, the thread was hijacked. But at least it gets a bump for more liquid pics.

Melissa you should contact an admin to change your name if you dont want people thinking you're a chick

anyway, I was at the dealer yesterday, and saw a liquid aluminum with burnt orange...it looks really close to chrome silver, but lighter...it didnt seem worth the 1.1K. Although it was cloudy so maybe it looks better in sunlight

IVE CONTACTED VICTOR AND HAVENT GOTTON A RESPONSE AS FAR AS CHANGING THE USERNAME....
AS FAR AS THE LIQUID ALUMINUM....I LIKE THE COLOR BETTER THAN THE CHROMED SILVER BUT I CANT SEE PAYING AN EXTRA GRAND FOR THE PAINT....BUT THIS IS COMING FROM A GUY THAT HAS A CAR WITH THE 1660 ADD FOR THE FACTORY CHROMES..LOL...I DONT SEE ANY VALUE IN THEM EITHER BUT IT WAS THE CAR THAT WAS THE CLOSEST TO WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR IN MY INVENTORY.....IF I WANT A DEAL IM NOT GOING TO TRY TO ORDER IT ...I BUY FROM MY INVENTORY JUST LIKE I TOLD A GUY IN HERE......

BUT THE WHEELS ARE OK FOR NOW......I DO WANT TO GET THE PROFESSORS THOUGH.....

Melissa where is your dealership located - can I search the available Zs you have online? I am located in Springfield VA and have gotten the run around from local dealers trying to buy an 04 Touring Coupe. Had problems with getting qualified, have very high salary but was unemployed almost 10 months last year so credit score in the tank, but on the way up. (610 middle score currently).

Let me know, interested in purchasing as soon as I can get the financing squared away.

Meeno it is impossible that you saw a LA with burnt orange leather(you can only get charcoal) unless the dealer replace it...????
