my advice is to try a different dealer. It's not GM's fault its the dealers, and if you only have 33k howcome they won't cover the rear brakes under warrantee?

thats weird... i bought my sedan for 13k after discount and gm card and it was msrp at 19.990. (loaded to the bone) and i asked the dealer what they would give em and said 14-15k and it has 34k on it. i think you need to change dealers lol ive gone to 4 different dealers till they would fix my brake problem under warrenty. its not GM fault its the dealer.

well their customer service really depends on the dealer (IMO)

but some people only have one dealer in their area, so they have no choice

I hate to say this but I know of 3 people who bought 03-04 350z's and they all paid around 22k for them. And they were all under 30,000 miles.

yea and ur in the usa but canada is a diffrent market, and also i know a few who have the 350z and no major problems,just ur minor service which isnt cheap if u have brembos on it...... so its a good car and worth the price when u can drive those japs cars to the ground

^^ dont you love our American friends mentioning prices We pay on average with the exchange rate $5000 more for a car up here than down there.

And i do agree with The Sleeper, GM sucks as a company right now. They are only offering these great deals cause they know Toyota and Honda are killing them in the marketplace. I mean, who can beat a car that will give you no problems, is easy to fix and can last over 2 decades? Toyota and Honda can. GM, havent had one yet other than a few trucks last that long. And even then, they were bought in 1984. I used to go to te dealer quite often, but now I stay far away from them. My next car wont be a GM, that's for sure. After owning nothing but GM, its sad to say but I've now gone the Acura way.
