I just got home from Hilltop Nissan in Richmond CA. There, sitting on the floor all alone and available, is VIN 000158. This formerly pre-sold Z arrived yesterday with no owner. The original purchaser moved out of state. This was my first in-person experience with a Chrome Silver Z. I was not disappointed.

If you live in the Bay area and thought you missed your chance to own a Z this year, you may be disappointed though. The dealer mark-up is $7K (almost $41K plus tt&l for a loaded Performance model).

 

OUCH!!!!

 

I have a good relationship with my nissan dealer and was told I could have a car that they pre-ordered for the dealership at MSRP. I will personally be embarassed for anyone who pays over MSRP. Both of the dealerships I drive by in my daily travels have cars available.

 

And you know in the Bay Area someone is going to buy it at that mark up!!

Pointfive..when's your car coming in?

 

My official date is 9/13 but if you read this letter my dealer sent today, it appears Nissan is padding the numbers a bit!
