Hey everybody! Long time lurker, first time poster here!

So I currently drive an 02 WRX but I am very very close to getting a Z. I found the one I have been looking for and it's in McKinney at a dealership there, and I'm in Austin. So I was wondering if this particular car that I'm looking at used to belong to anyone here? I know it's probably a long shot, but I would love to know a little of the history of the car. The car is an 06 Silverstone Touring hardtop coupe with a black leather interior (auto). It currently has 26k miles on it. According to carfax, it has had 2 prior owners, both in the Dallas area.

Anyways, I am hopefully headed up there on Tuesday to look at/buy the car, so if you know anything about this car, please pm me or let me know! I'm just curious to see if it has had any problems, what kind of oil has been used in it, mods, that sort of stuff that us car guys care about.

And on another note, if and when I do get a Z, I look forward to meeting a bunch of you local guys! With my old (wrx) car club, all the locals meet once a week for dinners which is really fun, not sure if ya'll do anything like that or not.

Wish me luck!!

ps. Anyone want to buy my 02 wrx?

 

I hope it's not Nissan of McKinney

 

hmm... car in mckinney... nissan of mckinney....

sounds likely... good luck...

 

Well I bought it. No it wasn't nissan of mckinney, but rather it was lone star pontiac buick gmc next door. I was very unhappy with the dealership, but I got the car I wanted for an ok price, so I guess it's just said and done and over with. Thank god I never have to deal with them again, they were horrible.

Found out that the 2 previous owners of the car were both females from the north dallas area. The car is in very very good condition the best I can tell, so I'm happy.

 

what happened that made them terrible?? enjoy the new car....

 

Your on nasioc arnt you.

 

firedancer, how many miles and what color? you have any pics of you WRX? i need another car, let me know

 

Just horrible service and a horrible dealer.

I drove all the way up there knowing exactly which car I wanted, but was going to just play it cool and look around on the lot for a little bit without a dealer pressuring me. But when we drove up, this big huge guy was like chasing after us as we were driving into the parking lot and was waving his arms....I rolled down the window thinking something was wrong (not knowing he worked there), and he was like "hey we've got some big sales going on, pull over right here and I'll show you!" So I was like "umm, ok", knowing that we were going to park anyways. So it was just pure high pressure from there. He showed me the Z and some other cars they had there and I told him that I liked the Z the best. It had like 28xxx something as a price on the windshield, so I didn't talk price at that point. I test drove it, he went along, blaring rap music on the radio the whole time talking about subwoofer this subwoofer that. And as soon as I pulled it back into the lot he told me to pull it up front by the office, so I did. Then he was like "ok, so let's do the paperwork and it'll be all yours." So I was like "umm, well, I'm not going to pay 28xxx for it, you have it on your website for 23,999. He seemed dumbfounded, and said "do you have any proof of that?" Of course I had everything printed out so I pulled it out and said "yep, right here". Without a second thought he said "oh that's a price mistake, it really should be 25,999, they screwed up." So I said, well that's not my fault, you should honor this price. So he finally agreed (after supposedly talking to his "manager". Then I sat down to do paperwork and I was like "well so will you take 22k for it?" He proceeded to laugh in my face and was like "no way, you're already practically stealing this thing". Anyways, blah blah blah, it just was more of the same. He just was horrible, plus they made me sit around and wait for hours while they were doing "paperwork" in the back.

So just fyi, this was at "Lone Star Pontiac GMC Buick" in McKinney. (It's right next door to Nissan of McKinney). The dealer's name was Peyton Franklin, so don't EVER go see him.

ok, end rant.

Cliff Notes: Lone Star Pontiac GMC Buick of McKinney sucks hairy donkey *****.

 

It has like 75k miles on it, and it's world rally blue.
