Default New 2007 350Z Grand Touring Owner

I'm a new Z owner in the SF Bay Area. Just got my new ride 2 days ago. Been looking for one since my join date. It's a thrill to drive! Here's some quick pics.
But it came with curbed front right rim... How much does it usually cost to repair it? 100-200?

Usually around $100. Ask one of the dealers about rim repairs, they usually have a contact that is mobile.

Make sure that they have a good match for the stock wheel color.

Did you buy it from a dealer? Could you hit them up for the repair. As long as it's only curbage, and not a damaged rim.

Wait, so you bought this as a "new" car on their lot??? If so they better fix it for free!!! I can't imagine a dealership selling a brand new car with a curbed rim, they should have to eat that one.
If this was considered a "used" car then you may still be able to get them to fix it. But usually unless you get it on the "we owe" before you sign, they won't do a damn thing once you sign on the line. I had so much stuff put on the "we owe" when i bought my Z used, they had to staple a second page on!! All lil stiuff like a cracked tail light, and scuffs in the paint, etc. But when it was all done, i still got raped in price, but my used Z looked brand new!! lol

Ooo SF Bay Area Z owner nice!
Is that thing a MT or AT? Still deciding which to go with if I do get a Z.
I hate driving MT cars going up and down those crazy SF hills =(

My 06 had the same thing, the dealer took care of it. Have them fix it, you should not have to pay for it.

I didn't get this car from a Nissan dealership so I'm kinda screwed.

And I have no clue about whether or not the master cylinder TSB thing has been done actually. Is there any way I can physically look under the car and tell if it's been done? Some serial code or something? I tried the 1800-Nissan1 number, but it was too late, guess i can try next week if there's no easy way to tell.

Go to your local Nissan Dealer and have them run yoru VIN. They will do it for free since they get paid to do warranty/recall work from Nissan.

Dear zettahertz: Reasons why for AT? 1. 274 ft-lbs torque, VS 260 in the MT!
2. City traffic. 3. Freeway jams (accidents, etc.). 3. Zeds with AT actually BEAT manual Zeds, per statistics (torque advantage?). FLAWLESS RECORD
(i.e. reliability-wise). You'll discover your own reasons, old buddy!
