As you may have seen in this thread....

Dealers Lying Or Has Nissan Put A Hold On Production

I'm having difficulty actually ordering a car.

I was excited to have 2 of the 7 dealers I am in touch with call me over the weekend to tell me they could "probably" order me a car on Tuesday. Knowing how this could end I didn't get too excited.

Well, my bad luck with this sort of thing came to pass. The first most honest dealer called me and told me it was a no go, that they didn't get an allocation, and they were seriously frustrated. The second dealer I actually visited yesterday, and they said, yeah, we can order one for you today. Then I started talking to them about having an actual Nissan allocation and they started fidgeting a bit. They told me they would get in the computer after lunch, look things up, then give me a call. Guess, what, no call.

So just like the other 5 dealers that were more than willing to take my order with them, nobody has an actual allocation to actually order a car. Dealers expect the mass public to be totally ignorant on how car ordering actually takes place. When someone like me walks in talking allocations they seriously don't like it. It's a bit amusing actually.

Basically, there are zero July allocations available, well, at least not down here in Southwest Ohio. What about the rest of the country? Anyone have actual proof they got a car ordered yesterday? Dealer verbal "oh yeah no problems" don't count, because that does not mean Nissan has an order.

Any input you can provide is welcomed.

Thanks ---- Bonzo
