As we've seen in other threads here, many dealerships are telling their customers they can order a new Z even though they don't have an allocation from Nissan. You can go in and fill out the paperwork, get all that done..they'll even takes some money from you, then they get fuzzy on the details. If the dealership doesn't have an allocation then they can't order it from you until they do. The whole order process on Japanese cars is screwed up because of production shutdowns and parts/paint shortages, and made worse by a relative lack of effective communication between Nissan, NissanUSA, and the USA dealer network. Seems like nobody knows the straight story. When people whose livlihood revolves around selling cars have to deal with an information void like that, you are likely to get a wide variety of stories.

So, they may take your order, but you should make sure they have an allocation from Nissan. If they can't get you a build date within a few days after ordering, you're getting hosed.
