A&Q about 350Z
Q:
OK, this entire idea scares me! Everytime I take my Z to some shop, they do something to **** it up. Whether its scratch, scuff, ding, or maybe even add a some miles, lol. Seriously guys, am I the only one who doesn't trust those grease monkeys in the garage that just got out of a fly by night mechanic school?!?!?! Simply said, the guys don't care too shits about your car in the shop, in fact, most of the time they cause more damage, lol.
I prey that I do not recieve a letter in mail from Nissan ordering my to donate my car do trainees that know how to change a tire.
No offence to any, but I had only one guy at dealership that I trusted, and we talked hobbies and stuff. Anyways, my point is, if you don't really know the guy working on your car, or haven't just seen or talked to him/her eye to eye, I worry.!!>!!!
I guess I worry to much, but my Z is my baby, I invested some money into her, and paid her off, and the mods $$$$ everything but turbo. My 350 is an everyday driver, but if I had money to piss, I would buy junker.
Any of you recomend any cheap good cars, maybe a KIA, lol.
For all of you guys in here, that have Z's with eye popping attention written all over them, don't you get worried sometimes about leaving it someplaces.
I mean, if you have nice rims, bodykit, stereo, etc.
In addition, yeah, insurance will cover whatever, but the car will no be the same. If you get a dent or paint scratched off, the car has to be repainted in that spot, and it will always be visable, unless you paint the entire car.
I am very particular about my Z, I check it everytime I take it out, and if some **** parks right next to me, I take down is license plate, just to safe, lol.
After seeing what happen to Daddy's Z, I don't park anywhere but under light and away from other cars. Furthermore, Daddy's Z got ****ed up!
Some SOB really scratched the hell out of his door, just to be stupid.
Thats sad, dumbasses in this world like that are why I don't want to keep my 350 a everyday driver.
Used cars- Ok, I don't want a used car, unless its between 00 and now.
I have always bought new cars and never used, so can any of you give me some advice on buying one, what to look for, what dealers hide, blah, blah, etc.

advise: look at the car before you buy it...
have a mechanically inclined friend check it out... check all the Ps and Qs...
test drive... listen to the engine to the tranny... to the wheel bearings and such...
i can't count how many times i've seen somebody jump into a car they were looking at and the first thing they mess with is the stereo...
i think to myself, are you buying the car for the radio or for transportation?
cause if your looking for a radio you're kinda in the wrong store buddy...
anyways, try to run off the salesman while you look, the last thing you should need is some jerk trying to rush you, or try to get you to really like a particular car...
i remember when i went looking for my first car... there was a sunfire in the lot... definately not what i was looking for... she pointed at it... i said flat out I don't like sunfires...
5 minutes later she asked so what about THAT car... pointing at the sunfire... UGH!!! STFU lady! i don't like the mother loving sunfire!!!

Static, its very funny how they lie to your face, lol. I actually become offended when a salesman tries to play me for a idiot. Simply said, car salesmen will try everything to sell, lol.
A:
oh yeah i can relate... i had an argument with a sales guy one time...
I asked if the had any Super Black tourings with a 6 speed... he insisted that they only came in 5.... i looked at him real stupid and said heh... no they are 6 speed... but he insisted...so i said sure... whatever...
then he introduced me to a man he claimed to be the Z expert... so i asked do the Z's come in 5 or 6 speed??? Of course he said 6... i just looked at the first guy... a look that just screams... "HA YOU STUPID MUTHAF*** I TOLD YOU...I TOLD YOU AND WHAT NOW I CAN OFFICIALLY SAY YOU DON'T KNOW JACK!!! LEAVE MY PRESENCE!!!"
i'm sorry but that was just so dang funny for me... i guess you would have to be there...

I think every big purchase I make I will now record the conversation. I will then wear a shirt that says, by speaking to me you are giving your permission to be recorded. I scheduled mine to go in for the fuel hose deal, I'll let you guys know how it goes waaaaaaaaaaaah...
A:
DUDE! I know, I have had moments like that, lol. They prey on gulible people. And its funny when they get pissed and rush you, after all, you want to take your time. But they on the other hand, want to sell, sell, sell, and tell you whatever it takes to get your soul interested.
A:
Dealers are idiots.
The only time mine went to the dealer was for the free front tires. (03)
The dickheads mounted the tires with the arrows in the wrong direction. First thing I checked before leaving the dealer other than looking for scratches. Then they had to rotate the fronts. Not counting they gouged the rims changing the tires.
