Nobody's buying a 45-50k Z these days anyways no matter how ready they are to purchase something. I understand the safety concern and people going in to flog them, but balance that with actually selling cars.
If the Z is in dealer stock, and the dealer is making his monthly floorplan payments every month, why would Nissan have any standing to decree the conditions of a test drive? I think that the salesperson was feeding that guy on the VW board a little BS.
