Question Left over year models

Ok i have a question that has plagued me for a while.. What happens to those few z's that never get purchased during their production year.. To be sure that every Z that is made gets sold.. Do they recycle them??

NO they do get sold, at a lower price most of the time just to get them off the lot.

Yeah, my dealership just sends the leftover 07 models to the internet/fleet dept and they post them like crazy on Ebay, autotrader, craigslist, and their own website inventory until they are sold. Of course, if someone walked on the lot and wanted the leftover stock, they'd sell it outright for a discontinued price.

Nissan uses the parts to fix your car.

Some dealers just hold on to them, hoping for someone who will still pay the full price for last year's model -- without knowing any better.

About 2 months ago there was still a couple 06's on the lot at my local dealer. I'll be there tomorrow and see if they still have one or two.
