kinda... Talk to dealer 1 on Saturday. They do a car locate for me. They find the car I want and will do a dealer swap. We agree on price and I fill out the credit app (Nissan has 0% for 60mo).. I get a call an hour later that the car was sold at that other dealer  Dealer 1 goes back to his computer and finds another car that has everything I want except one accessory I could live without. He calls dealer and it is available. We agree on price and I tell him to go for it. He calls back 15 minutes later - "good news, bad news".. The bad news was the other dealer had swapped on some different rims and lojack, with the price of addons at $1400. I told him no thanks. This morning I check out the rims online and they are actually very nice. I decide what the hell and call the dealer at 10am to say lets go for it. The dealer agreed to go swap for it and I setup a time to arrive. I am 2 hours south of this dealer. 1/2 way up to pick up the car, the dealer calls me that the rims aren't what he expected. He sends me a picture and I pulled over to look at them. TERRIBLE.. Hated them. Deal dead. I came home discouraged. The car I want does not exist in socal I hit Nissan's website and expand my search to include Phoenix. As I fanned out from there, I eventually came across the exact car I want in Yuma, Az. I call them and they have it. I shot them a below invoice number, even better than I had worked out previously, and they took it! They are going to take a deposit tomorrow from me and I'll drive over to pick it up on Friday.. So hopefully I will end up with a car come end of week.. ;D Car is a 2012 Nissan 370z Touring with Sport Package and Navigation. Red exterior, black interior |

Hope this one pans out - that has to be frustrating!

How much did you end up paying? Sticker was $44k and some change, buy price was $40,000. TT&L will be paid at the California DMV. I'm actually taking delivery in the little town of Winterhaven, CA, right across the border from Yuma, since I won't have to pay Arizonia sales tax. AZ sales tax would have been 9.4% versus the 7.75% I'll pay in California. 100% financing since it is 0%, but paying TT&L out of savings. |

I am shocked I tell you, shocked! That a YM stalwart like MMC Prime would go out and pay $38,000.00 more than he needed to on transportation is a crime against the YM sensibilities. We need to force him to ride nothing but a Vespa motor scooter for the remainder of the year.  Congrats on the new ride MMC. Enjoy it.  This is YM Off-Topic. It is ok to sin here..  |

Picked it up yesterday! Somehow the dealer thought I was putting 5k down. I said at 0%, why would I? He called Nissan for reapproval at $0 down and of course they approved.
