Default Just Got it!

I can't believe I did it. This morning I traded in my much loved '03 20th AE GTI on a brand new '06 Interlagos Fire Enthusiast coupe model Z. I saw the car sitting in the showroom glistening with Nismo rims and exhaust system and I got weak. One drive and I was hooked. Funny thing, I was set on purchasing a '06 S2000, but once I sat in and drove the Z, the S2000 was crossed off the list. Looking forward to sharing Z car experiences (hopefully positive ones) with forum members. Here are some typical driveway shots. Vic

Purchasing experience at Nissan of Fife was good. No pressure. I have to admit that I did not work my trade in hard enough so I gave up some dollars there. The appeal of this particular Z must have impaired my bargaining skills Discount on the Z was around $3K plus. Vic

as long as your happy. i mean their is a few K's in options on there. i also havent gotten pressured to buy/add anything. and the first quote i got on the car was 2k less than any other dealer in the area. i did absolutly no haggling.

ive only heard, and continue to hear good things about them. so be glad you didnt go anywhere else.

btw, did you see a silverstone there w/ a sold sign?

Was the discount $3000 off of MSRP or what?????

Did they by a slim chance have any 05 New Roadsters still sitting there did they?

I dealt with Russ Meadows and right off the top they knocked off $2500 from the MSRP. With the Nismo stuff, special paint and a few other things, the MSRP was around $35,700.00. I believe they had a roadster? Not sure of the year? Call and ask for Russ, he will let you know what they have. I believe Puyallup Nissan has a couple of roadsters on the lot? Good luck. Vic

Thanks! I love the color. My trade in was a Jazz Blue 20th GTI (only 1K imported into US); I suspect Interlagos Fire will also be just as rare...I guess. No stats to back this up though. Vic
