Guys i am going to the dealer today because rumor has it that they are giving away 2003 sentras when you buy a 2004 nissan. I called them yesterday and they said this is true (while supplies last). Sounds crazy but they even got commercials for this shi$. Wish me luck!!! I was waiting for 2005 model to come out but how can you pass this up. Anyway for you NJ guys the dealer is off of rt46 and its in Totowa (spelling may be wrong). Oh yeah I almost forgot, they have 3 Enthu manual on the lot, black, red, and white.

This is a great deal, just take the sentra and sell it after you get it. It is like a $10K discount on the new car you buy. Iwish I was in the market still.

 

From the article: … a 2003 Nissan Sentra, usually an off-lease or traded-in vehicle. …estimated the value of the second-hand models being given away at about $11,000.

Be prepared to pay FULL MSRP for the Z (and probably a bunch of dealer add-ons). I imagine you will end up about $5,000 over the MSRP. And then you have the hassle of trying to unload a Sentra yourself.

On the other hand, it is a good deal if you don’t have a daily driver. Garage the Z for weekends and good weather driving only (what I do). And use the Sentra as the daily driver. Let it collect the door dings & high mileage.

The more I think about it, I like the ideal.

Good luck. Keep us posted with how it turns out.

 

i saw that. thats a great deal. that would have been my winter driver.

 

Too damn bad I am in TX, thats *sounds* like a good deal.

 

Buy a new Z and get a beater as well... sounds like a fine plan to me

 

holy crap thats awesome... i might have to be taking a drive up to totowa

 

let us know what prices you paid for the z to get the free sentra

 

okay, what bunch of BS. Looks like I will be waiting for a 05 Z. They wanted 39+k for a 2003 used beat up Z with some some scratched up rims. Anwway, I can get a 350Z enthu right now for list but not from them. That place sucks, service sucks also. They did have about 10 Z's there but check this, 8 were Auto and when I asked why they said oh auto is standard, thats when I left. So hopefully you guys will see me soon in a Z.

 

hahaha, there is always a catch

 

it's true though auto on Z's is standard.. 6 speed will cost you more on a sports car!

 

the only model where it will cost you extra to get the Z in manual is the Touring edition, because the Touring was meant to be the luxury model (leather, nav, etc.). Otherwise, the base, enthusiast, performance, and track all come in manual transmission as standard. I wonder if it's even possible to get the Track model in auto.....?

 

that sucks... oh well thanks for saving me the drive!

 

[QUOTE I wonder if it's even possible to get the Track model in auto.....? [/B][/QUOTE]

No, I believe auto can be on the Enth and Touring only. besides who would want to get a Track in auto. I do agree with you on the touring idea was to be the more lux model 350Z of the bunch which is why they have a lot auto Tourings.

 

If you believe that.........Oh, did I ever mention that I was the first man on the moon? Yeah, really, even before Neil Armstong. I'd like to go into the whole story but right now the President is calling me on my cell phone-I guess he needs some more advice.

 

Guys, its been on my mind since I left that stupid dealer so I decided to go bargain today. It looks like I i can get an enthu Z for 29300 out the door. My friend sells them and this is what we discussed today. Now as for putting it on paper he said I have to be ready to sign if I want that to be official and I wasn't ready today because I have been waiting so long on the 05 its like why rush today but he also said that the 05 will be marked up about 3k for 3 months or so. I am tempted to get it now because he also said that the changes for 05 will be minor but Nissan will come out with a faster Z but it won't be now.

 

For what its worth I ordered a touring 2005 Z for ~750 over invoice. Not sure what part of NJ you're from but I dealt w/ Somerset Nissan. I definitely would not get one thats marked up $3000.

 

It was on MSN also, I would not pass this deal up if I was up there. Just think, they're getting on these nationals news companies sites and on tv, if they screw someone over, the news will hear about it, so they are kind of restricted on over charging you.
