if you drive it again and it acts this way pull over and shut off the car. after a minute re-start and see how it responds now.

I told them to service and check it out after I test drove it. I got a call this morning at 10:00am from them saying it seemed that the car had not been driven in a while and it was not warmed up because the problem went away.
I drove an hour to test drive it again today, this time for about 1/2 an hour in all types of driving (other than receiving a speeding ticket, I was not able to test out that scenario today). Worked flawlessly, so we made a deal. It's supposed to be delivered here this evening.

A Nissan dealer, so it's not one of those sleeze-ball wholesale lots and it has a lot less milage than my 300E does (which I kept).
Thanks for the input! I'll be driving the wheels off it tonight and see if there is anything I need to have repaired ASAP. I listened for chain slap and did not hear any but I'll keep an ear out for that and get anything resolved before I put my 300 up for sale.
Thing goes like a scalded cat.. that's fun! Plus the fenders are a lot more flared out than those on the 300. As long as it does not break-down on the way from the dealership tonight I'll post a photo of it later on. I hope I don't regret this in next few days!
