Happened to be next door to a different Nissan dealer this past Tues, so I stopped in to look at a GTR they had in the showroom there. Their commercial & fleet sales manager comes up to me and we start chatting. Not your typical car salesperson, very personable and more interested in hearing what I have to say than him listening to himself speak. Come to find out, we have a couple of mutual friends. Anyway, I inform him that I already have a 370Z on order from another dealership and he asks for the specifics, model, color, options, etc. He then asks if he can beat their price would I have an objection buying the Z from his dealership. I reply, other than them holding my $2k as a security deposit, I wouldn't have an objection. He then asks for their price. I give him the details. We go into his office, he gets on his computer, then informs me, he doesn't show the 2013 pricing yet, but based on the 2012 price he should be able to beat my other quote by about $200 taking into account a price increase for the 2013. So he says, this is what I'll do. I'm going to order your 2013Z, you don't have to put anything down and am under no obligation. Because if you don't buy this Z I know someone else will buy this particular set up very quickly. He calls me yesterday and says the car has been ordered. Will call me when he receives shipping update. Fantastic, I have 2 cars on order and should be able to get a better price now. Only 1 bummer......my car won't be one of a kind! LOL |
Today, the Sales Rep from the Ford dealer that I test drove a Mustang GT at 4+ weeks ago (the day before I test drove the Z) gave me a call. Said they have a new Grey GT 6mt that just came in and his sales manager (whom I met) is willing to go really low, next to invoice, to get my business.
I informed them back then, that I decided to special order the 2013Z. I thought, that was that. But I gotta say, these guys are persistent. This was their 4th call since then. First call was the day after my visit, their female receptionist called thanking me for visiting their dealership and asking if their sales rep was professional & helpful. 2nd, Sales Rep, to see if I was still set on the Z. Third, Sales Rep to inform me of a 2011 Shelby GT that came in as a trade. The Nissan dealership that I ordered my Z from and left a $2,000 deposit has not called or contacted me once in over 4 weeks! No thank you card, call, not even a thank you email, no calls to say the order was placed.....nothing. Wow, I committed to give them over $30 grand, and they said, I will appreciate their follow up and service dept? WTF I had to call them a week ago to verify that my order was placed. What do you guys think? Should I possibly cancel my order with the current Nissan dealer and go with the 2nd Nissan dealer that ordered my car without a down, plus followed up with me? Or should I check out Ford again? Problem is, not enthusiastic about the Mustang GT looks. Boss or Shelby GT, maybe, but not sure I can justify the price difference over the Z in my mind. |
^^Well it appears you are just upset at the specific dealership for not contacting numerous times. Bottom line is you places an order and nothing else is to be said and you placed a deposit. I've ordered numerous cars and dealerships don't call and contact me all the time.
It's just the way it is, if you really wanted to you could switch dealers, not go to a whole different manufacturer lol. Anyways the Ford dealer is just trying to make a sale remember, they just calling you and acting all nice to lure you in, dealer tactics 101. Bottom line is get the car you want, not making your decision on how nice a dealership or salesman is. |
Valid points above. I didn't need to get numerous contacts from the 1st Nissan dealer, a simple thank you card would seem like an appropriate response to a $30K plus sale (can you tell I'm in sales?).
You're right about the Ford dealer. Setting the bait out there. Not serious about getting a Stang, just want to hear peoples opinions. |
Today, I received a call from the 2nd Nissan dealer (which I did not leave a security deposit) for the 2013Z. He informed me that Nissan confirmed that the car will be shipped from Japan toward the end of July.
The ship goes to California first, to get cleared through customs and then comes to Honolulu. So I should be able to receive my Z by mid August! :tup: |
Dealer called to inform me two 2013's have arrived. My order is for a Gun Metal 6mt w/sport pkg. They have a Pearl White in the same configuration. Will take a look tomorrow morning and who knows......may end up with a PW instead!

2013's are at the dealer and pics are posted in General Discussions 2013's Have arrived in Honolulu thread.

Congratz with the 2013. I ordered one too. The car suposse to arrive Mid July and they will deliver it max by the 1st week of August. We gotta wait, no other way.
|
2nd dealer called me today, said my car is being shipped from Japan this week. Still has to go to California first and then to Hawaii, so it could take anywhere from 3 to 4 weeks to get here.
Prices have jumped from 2012. I've posted 2013 prices in General Discussions |

Why are so many of the first cars to arrive convertibles?! My dealer said my car should be here this week but I'm still being realistic and waiting for July 27th as stated on my order.
