A Nissan pays the dealer 1.3 hours to perform the PDI on a 2013 370Z @ $106.50 an hour totaling $138.45

Seems fair. Wouldn't you agree that modern cars are pretty buttoned down when they leave the factory?

Might also be pre-delivery installation for those parts that are all in the same handwritten bracket.

You're probably correct. Typically the PDI is not listed on the Window Sticker or the Dealer Invoice.

A little background.. I was a Porsche Dealer in NJ from 1973 to 2000...and knew Peter. Each year I would take a car and drive it in the summer..when it sold you could always say it was my car/ demo... no dealer I ever knew registered or titled a car/ demo in his name... always drove on dealer plates, no reason to pay registration or sales tax... Peter Gregg drove many new Porsche's as part of being a Porsche Dealer, nothing special...If the car was modified by Brumos to increase it's selling price and Peter drove it , a little different, but again not that special...just a smart marketing tool... Nice to say you own a car that Peter used , but in opinion just a nice story to dine out on.

Thanks for the insight.

And so it goes.

Sold for $60,100. These early S's sure have made a move in recent months.

Too high or to low?
Certainly a basket case of a car, but I was expecting more. Don't get me wrong, it was worth a hell of a lot less than the final bid, I was just expecting something SUPER crazy.

Sorry, actually I was thinking of a different car and post when I posted that. So now I change it to !!!!! OK, if S prices continue to climb, the owner might break-even should he decide to sell in 2016 or so when it's done ;) Thanks.
