So they send me in the back office for financing but say its too late to here from any banks so take the car home and we will finish up tommorow sense the dealership was about to close(8pm). So i say sweet! Go and grab a couple of stuff from my old car put it into the new one. Let it warm up a bit and release the e-brake and start to drive off like i usualy do. BUT for some reason the car wont move so i look a around the inside of the car, no warning lights are on, and e brake is still off. So i try again to put the car in first and try off...nothing, try reverse nothing. it doesnt even move. Then i try to release the clutch at a higher rpm 4k, car dies try same thing again dies. I get out and try and push it with the ebrake off. Doesnt even move an inch. I look around the car. Dont notice anything out of place. I tried calling my friend and he says it could be the clutch, or the transmition all together. Either way im bummed (and yes ive been driving standars for years now) And yes the obvious soulution would be go ask the service department or call my dealer but the dealership was closed and couldnt contact anyone.

Years ago, I was in a hurry and forgot to release the ebrake in my z28. Started moving, but very quickly realized something wasn't right (way too much drag). From the OP's description, sounds like the car won't even budge.

The to the OP, did you already finalize all the paperwork? If not, and before doing so tomorrow, make absolutely sure whatever caused this issue is minor and there are no other issues... Else walk away very quickly.

He says all he did was just "pop" the clutch a bit and it broke free. Bull****? i asked his ppl to still take a look at the car. I mean this is like 26k that im spending here, i wanna make sure that im not buying a lemon or something.
What yall think?

I just got off the phone with the guy and he says that he is sure that is the problem, but that his matinence ppl are going to check it again. I asked him if i could take it to a nissan dealership to get to get checked out and he says that i could but they may just tell me things that didnt need to be fixed to get fixed. I still want to get a second opinion on this car b4 i sign.
