Having to wait is almost unbearable!
 
It's only been a week since I ordered my Fully loaded yellow 370 and I can hardly stand it. I,ve run out of videos to watch(like 3 or 4 times) read all of the reviews( 3 or 4 times). been to this forum 20 times a day and generally think about this car night and day. You guys that have yours already are not making it any easier :driving: thank God for this forum cause the next 90-120 days are going to be ugly!:shakes head:. Anyway how are my fellow sufferer's doing with the wait, help me I need support!:eekdance:

So the current wait from factory is 90-120 days, ouch, but I am about to jump into that so I feel you.

FairmanZ 02-18-2009 04:47 PM

I feel your pain. I want one bad, but have decided to wait a bit for a few reasons:

1) I figure by summer time there should be lots of inventory, hence better to wheel and deal on a car that's sitting on a dealer's lot.

2) Always hesitant buying a first model year car, so by summer I'll know if the car is relatibvely trouble free or not. If not, I may wait until the 2010 model year.

Nevertheless, the wait is killing me. My heart says go order one now, my head says no.

m4a1mustang 02-18-2009 04:49 PM

I feel your pain, man. I've tested them and picked out what I want, but I am not going to be ready to purchase for another couple of months. I could purchase in about 30 days if I wanted to, but I just took a new position and would like to wait until my probationary period and raise before I commit with a new car. You know, just to be safe. :D

trema 02-18-2009 04:59 PM

I am in EXACTLY the same boat!! There's a part of me that wants to call the dealer, like, every day and see if there have been any updates. I've bought a smart key cover and new 370z JDM wallet already, shopping for a radar detector now... just staring longingly at the many Platinum Graphite Zs scattered on the web.

The weather is just starting to turn here in Portland... sun is shining a little more... it's making me wish my Z were here :)

C'MON APRIL!!!!

Crash 02-18-2009 05:01 PM

OMG!!! I know your pain and I haven't even ordered yet!

c-town 02-18-2009 05:18 PM

Glad I'm not the only one! Since ordering in Jan I've read nearly every Z-related thread here as well as other sites, looked at every youtube video of the 370z at least twice and google recent news on the Z every couple hours... I think it's turned into an unhealthy obsession!

Fortunately it's only 1 month before it comes... cannot wait. I feel for you bud!

hey32g 02-18-2009 06:41 PM

I don't want to hear it, my 335i lease doesn't end until June 2010.

Oh well not a bad car to be "stuck" in.

WShade 02-18-2009 07:59 PM

I am 3 weeks in to my 90-120 days. But, its not that bad. I had to wait 5 months for my G because I ordered it before the official launch.

frost 02-18-2009 08:07 PM

I'm with you, and I'm still a good ways from ordering. I've come to hate my current vehicle for the pure fact that it is not the Z.

nogoodname 02-18-2009 08:21 PM

picture this...


everyone on the forums (like 3 of them) are waiting for the release date of the G37, which was Aug.22/07. tons of ppl have ordered and awaiting for the cars to reach the dealerships and then the paperwork starts. unknowingly to the public, i bought my G before the release date and it so happen to be i picked up the car on Aug.22...i had to wait a week for the dealership and insurance company to get the paperwork done and waited for the plate also. It was a race to be the 1st owner....pressure was on....lol
but i did it......and now i have bragging rights


try to sleep with that much excitement on ur shoulders......lol

frost 02-18-2009 08:23 PM

First like, in the city, county, state, universe?

nogoodname 02-18-2009 08:28 PM

^^ North America, cause it's available in japan that time


but on the forums...........i Declared it 1st



I visited other forums and ppl were saying "that NoGood guy has it already"

frost 02-18-2009 08:29 PM

I'd brag about that too. So are you looking to trade it for the z? Getting a z on top of the g? other?

nogoodname 02-18-2009 08:32 PM

I'll keep the G for now

who knows what the future brings and until then.............blah blah blah




having a Z and G is just too radical, would blow my mind everyday

DIGItonium 02-18-2009 08:42 PM

Welcome to the waiting club. I put in a tiny deposit to reserve a PG Z arriving around Mar/Apr time frame. All of a sudden a bunch of layoffs were announced at my workplace and most of my friends got the notice. There is quite a bit of uncertainty surrounding me.

On the other hand, I'm taking advantage of some deals and group buys to ease the waiting anxiety.

par4bmw 02-18-2009 10:10 PM

I feel your pain. I got lucky and heard on Monday that I am in my Z in under 20 days. One on a boat about to arrive was not bought yet and met my order. Got lucky but even this short wait is killing me.

nogoodname 02-18-2009 10:17 PM

I know one guy that totaled his G and got a replacement, the truck carrier got hit and a few G's got hit also....but his made it through cause it was on top.....lol


not to make more anxiety for you fellas

StLRedrider 02-18-2009 10:26 PM

Same here, test drove 370 first day it hit town, waited a few days then took out a 08 fully loaded then drove the same exact 370 again. put my order in for a 09 370 Red/black leather,sport pkg, and touring(6m/t). It's like i want to go dealer to dealer just to test drive. I've never owned a sports car before, the test drive was cool as h*ll. But da*n, spring needs to hurry its a** up.

Nikon FM 02-18-2009 10:34 PM

90-120 days is not too long a wait
 
I waited 1 year for my Saturn Sky Redline..........and ended up trading it in in a flash after seeing the 370Z. Guess I'm in the snaggers club, my wait for the 370Z was 2.5 weeks..............lucky:tup:

I'm sorry man but that's a little obsessive. I do know where you're coming from. I too am excited to get mine. I'm ordering it this weekend. But why don't you try to find something to better occupy your time instead, like obsessing over women. If you do that successfully and often enough, your Z will be at your doorstep in no time. On top of that, you would have had a good time.

Another idea. Do you own property? If you do, try and find something around the house to do. Come up with a project to occupy your time. Believe me, having idle hands is like watching time fly by....not fun.

nogoodname 02-18-2009 11:04 PM

keep busy...is the key


time flys by when you are doing something

Purchased from an ebay retailer ralliart3000gt... the 370z stuff wasnt in their online store, but they have them in stock...

3SeventyZ 02-19-2009 03:05 PM

It'll be worth the wait.:tup:

m4a1mustang 02-19-2009 03:08 PM

I am being responsible, so I have to wait about 90 days before I buy. :owned:

My wife went thru the same deal when she ordered her 335.. Even though her profession keeps her really busy. In her spare time she would read every single tidbit of info that was out there (it was 1st yr, so not a whole lot of reviews etc were out yet). It was a long 2 months. ;)

Early congrats

Z34drifty 02-19-2009 11:53 PM

I know how you feel. Still lucky you I can't buy anything till summer because of the Boeing layoffs I think it is around 10,000 people. Just keep busy make a pond.

The Weapon 02-20-2009 12:00 AM

I bet you guys don't end up waiting the full 90-120 days. I purchased mine Jan 8th I think and was told i would get it April 1st. As of today mine is scheduled to come in Next week. :)

It has been nice not having a car payment.

That is smart. Better to avoid situations that can put you in financial trouble.

zsport1 02-20-2009 10:58 AM

The wait will be worth it! :tiphat:
Post pics once she arrives.

G&M Performance 02-20-2009 12:22 PM

Go join a rec league or something, man. Heck if you're any good, try AAU. Those fun trips and games will definitely keep your mind off the Z. :tup:

Or just spend your day playing with the emoticons like I do...

:koolaidwall: :excited::stirthepot::werd:

trema 02-21-2009 01:02 AM

Personal patheticness +1... I went to a Nissan dealership (not even the one I bought my z from) just to sit in the 370 they had on display.

G&M Performance 02-21-2009 10:58 AM

^^ You are a sad, sad person...:shakes head:

I've been trying to avoid them. No reason to tease myself.

trema 02-22-2009 01:15 PM

Hey, scoff all you want, but with a borderline obsessive personality, and a desperate desire for instant gratification, as the OP brought up, the wait is almost unbearable. At least the wife is supportive :D

But, another update from the dealer... they have an arrival date in late March. So, 5 more weeks wait. Total wait time, orginally quoted 60-90 days, looks like it's going to be more like 44 days. Here's hoping everyone gets their Z early!!

k.alexander 02-23-2009 03:44 PM

Here, here for borderline obsessive personality. I feel you OP :tiphat:

!xoible 02-23-2009 04:13 PM

i've waited 3 months for both my 335's (only ended up getting one tho), and 4 months for my M3. im numb now when it comes to waiting for cars :(
let me tell you tho man. once you get the car that moment you see it, u'll forget the whole wait. it's a sweet feeling
