Default Finally testdriving soon...where did you buy your Z? recommendations?

Man, I'm finally testdriving the Z soon. I'm looking at a Feb delivery and putting a good chunk of change down for an enthusiast model. Where did you guys/gals go to test drive and how was your overall experience? I want the test driving and buying process to be as painless as possible. Anyone with VPP hookup would be greatly appreciated.

I got mine at Champion Nissan out in Katy. Great experience. I got my car from Mike Lindsey but he's a manager now. Experience was so good I bought my wife's '05 Murano there last week.

Thanks for the info everyone. If you could also mention who you bought it from, that would be great. Dallas/Houston/Austin, I don't mind driving the distance if I get a good deal and treated right.

Got mine at Town North Nissan in Austin. Ask for Austin, and tell them Brian with the white Z sent you. My entire family bought Nissans, 3 Muranos and my Z, from them and are very happy with the experience!

+1 for the North location. Internet manager helped me. Got to see his knuckles turn white while I was down-shifting. Ha-Ha.

I got my 05 base superblack for 26k, brand new only 7 miles on the odometer! I went to North Texas Nissan in Denton, that is the ONLY nissan dealer i would recommend in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Jeremy Eaton was the guy I brought it from but he no longer works there, he went into real estate. Ask for the Finance Manager named David and have him personally get a sales guy for you, tell him Domenic recommended him (The whole dealership I'm cool with, they especially remembered me from yelling out woooo!!! when I signed the papers to buy my Z. It was my first brand new car! )

I went to 5 other dealers, including all the Bankstons (sleaaaazzzyyy salesguys), Courtesy and Trophy Nissan. Although Trophy is a great place to look for a 350Z at a good price, they had none in stock so I got mine from North Texas Nissan.
