I'm getting the EXACT same car on Saturday LOL...SS/Burnt Orange/Touring/6sp

Go figure

How much did you pay after tax/tag/title?

How many miles did it have and how are you going to handle the first 2k miles?

Congrats, on the identical purchase. The final numbers worked out like this.

MSRP: 35500
INVOICE: 32250
---------------------------

I PAYED: 32802
+
100 dealer fee
+
1855 TTL
=========

34752 OTD


kbomb - although I had a good experience there, yet I still felt like I was in an old-school car stealership. I don't know if it was my salesguy, or good timing, or them trying to turn over a new leaf or what, but I sure am a satisfied customer.

btw, what part of MD you from? I grew up in Damascus, then my parents moved us out west to Hagerstown.


Later

very nice car indeed, a little question if I may? Does SS have a green sorta tint to it? I saw one at a local dealer, mabey it was the lighting on the lot.

Enjoy your new ride

Could have been the lighting. Sodium throws a more yellow light and mercury vapor throws a greenish light. Metal Halide throws white light.

At night time, under certian lighting conditions, I think there is the slightest hint of green in there. Someone called it a "dolphin" color. Whatever it is, it's a very complex color with a lot of depth, that changes under different lighting conditions.

I love it, and I didn't let those comments about "just another silver" or "one of the most common colors" bother me, I got what I liked best. Other colors, like redline, don't have as much depth, and in my opinion don't do the car justice.

I am sorry to hear of your purchase. Hopefully you won't have the tire feathering problem. But I'm betting you probably will.

mxpx_8,

"I am sorry to hear about your bitterness. Hopefully you wont take your frustrating 350Z experience out on other 350Z owners. But I'm betting you probably will"



If your looking for a parade to **** on, look elsewhere...
