Default Yet another "I just got my Z" thread

Got a Silverstone Performance yesterday from Power Nissan in Irvine and I LOVE IT. I did all my homework over the past month and was curious if the sales guy would try to take me on anything... nope. The guy I talked to - Elmer - was awesome. He admitted that certain websites are really helpful to buyers when buying new cars.

Thanks for all the comments guys... really helped me when doing my homework on the car.

The toughest part about the new car is trying to keep the RPMs below 4k.

I've had it for less than 24 hours and already had 2 people try to race me, 2 chicks yell "nice car" when driving by, and 1/3 of all people on the road stare at me and my new car.

pics if you're curious:

Welcome aboard! Not only do we have the same looking Silverstone 350Z, we are both from OC and our names are the same! LOL!

Nice to have another OC person on board.

Same here, different name though. Yeah, I feel you on the 4k. It was hard for me too. It will go by fast thought. See you around

Mark,

Sticker was $32,514. No haggling. I felt I got kind of lucky (sales guy said so too) becuase the dealer didn't put a bunch of crap on and jack the price up $5k.

I've been seriously looking for 2 weeks, by searching the nissanusa.com dealer inventories. I spotted the Performance at Power Nissan and got it that day.

Connell Nissan in Costa Mesa offered to let me put a $2500 down to order one, but they didn't have the right color/trim. Silverstone was my 3rd choice - behind Brickyard and Black- but that wasn't going to stop me getting the perfect Performance I'd been drooling over for months!
