Default Buying a 350z Roadster

Hi Guys,
I am new to this forum and I am needing help from you guys

I am looking at a 350z roadster right now and I am not sure which dealer should I go to. The closet one to me is the Willowdale Nissan, but I've heard so many bad things about this dealer, even my friend, who got a G35 coupe from them couple years back said he got the worst experience from them.

I am living in the GTA area, don't mind to drive a little bit as far as I can get a good price and service.

Thanks!!!!

^ hey man,

I have heard some good things about Oakville Nissan, Dixie Nissan and barrie Nissan.

There is a member on this forum "Clemlover15", he is in sales at St.Catherines Nissan. He is a good guy and I am sure he would be more then happy to help you out, pm him and see if he can hook you up.

Actually, I will pm him for you with a link to your post

Good luck with your search

I got my Z from Village Nissan, Kenndy / Hwy 7 in Markham.

The experience was good.

I don't know what you will consider as a "Good Price". But I know for sure you can get at least 4% of the MSRP (brand new Z) when you buy from a Nissan dealer.

Village Nissan for the purchase. I worked through Steve Gogas. I would seriously reconsider service there though...simply my opinion. Best of luck in your search.

I can't comment on the service at Village Nissan because I don't get my Z serviced there. It's a bit far from where I live.

However, if you have body kits or lowered suspension, I don't recommend going to Village Nissan for service (I am not saying they are bad or anything). If you have been there, you will know what I mean. The drive way to get up there is quite steep. My worries is that when those Tech. take your car out for a test drive (as part of the service), they might scrape the front if they don't know how to get up/down the drive way at an angle.

Hi guys,
thank you for those responses, they are very helpful. Village Nissan is a bit closer to where I live, but I don't mind to go a bit further for a purchase,since it's only for one time... heehee

I am also concern about servicing too.

BTW, clemlover15, couple years back I saw a 350Z in the carshow and it had the very nice purple color on it, it changes color, I heard they don't do that kind of paint anymore, is it true or can I custom order it???

thank you very much!!!!

You must be talking about Interlago Fire. That was a special color for 06. They have a special one almost every year. 05 was Ultra Yellow and this year 07 is San Marino Blue.

Do not get your Z serviced at Willowdale. I've had some bad experiences there.

Default Brampton North Nissan....

i have to be honest i have a high opinion for the service i have received at brampton north nissan...i didnt not purchase the car at the dealership but had moved to that area, they took my car in and have done an incredible job on all the dealer installed mods i have done. they have worked with me for over year and swaped out trannies for me clutch's all kinds of stuff, but never once did they shy away from any problems that had ever encountered and worked on my car until i was happy with it. the sevice manager there is named Richard and the service rep i like to deal with is Brian... they treat me great. i have gone in there for little things they dont even charge me sometimes.. and i do know this for a fact because i was thinking of trading my 03 track in for it but there is a fully loaded 04 roadster there super black with the two tone black and orange leather seats + navi with i think 22kms on it i think they were asking 39 for it...hope this helps i am not in any way adffiliated with nissan dotn work there none of my friends work there just my honest opinion....i am truely happy with Brampton North Nissan
