Bidding on a auction like that from a person with no feed back sounds like a good way to get screwed over.

some moron is going to pay this ***hole 5k for his place in line!!!! Can you belive it???? The new Z will be hot, each new model was, but if you can just wait you'll find them right at the MSRP price at the very worst.

I was in a local Nissan Dealership 6 months ago and looked at the new Altima. They were tacking an extra $3k onto the price in "mark-up" to the MSRP. I asked what that was and he said that was the dealer price. "Excuse me, I know this is a nice car, but is still an Altima!!!!! So what's the real price", I asked, "well we could probably work you closer to sticker."

Well I feel really sorry for the idiot that is buying this for 5k over.

I thought I remember reading somewhere that Nissan of america was trying to do as much as possible to keep dealers from marking up the Z.I used to work at a chevy dealer, and those "dealer package's" are pure crap."enviromental protection - $699" = a coat of wax"Body striping - $199" = 12$ pin stripe

they can make up whatever they want..and its all crap.I hate dealers!

and these idiots that do these things for no other reason that to just make a profit.its like when the Playstation 2 network adapter came out... they were sold out EVERYWHERE.... i look on ebay....and 100 auctions for unopened network adapaters being sold for $60 over what they cost retail.

(luckily I got mine from Circuit city, but it was no easy task!)

people piss me off.

It's all for the money, and it's really sad how pathetic and low people will go for money. But it's such a hard thing to discuss because like if someone held $500 in front of your nose and told you to go slap someone you've never met before, or like key a car or something...how many of you can honestly say you wouldn't do that for money? I'm not saying I would or anything, but it's situations like that which can really prove how money hungry or money obsessed people are.

Did you see this, somebody spent over 6,000 bucks for this guys place in line!!!! You know what they say, a sucker is born everyday!

For those that do want to buy a Z at regular price, find a reasonable dealer that is outside of the big cities and you'll find them at sticker, I have a friend that just scored his from a place in Indiana for sticker price.
