Where are the 2011 Z's?

Z_ealot · 05-25-2011, 08:56 PM

Had to order my 2011 Monterey Blue with the options i wanted, but dealer im going through has about a dozen 2011 Z's on their lot, so yeah they arent in short supply, just hard to find with the options you want.

Mine had to be dealer traded as well as my local one only had 2010 leftovers. The closest Monterey Blue they could find was about 3 hours away from me. They are out there, just gotta keep looking.

You got the EXACT one I was trying to get. There was one just east of Houston, but came to find out the dealer modded it, so no go. Just as well, silver/gray is the usual Bond car color anyway.

You bring up an interesting point. How did the dealer get a car that was 400 miles away? I assume you didn't get a car with 400 miles already on it, so how did they ship it & did they ask you to share the expense?

plenty of 2011s and still some 2010s sitting around this area when i was shopping in march/april.

i used the zag car buying service through usaa when i purchased, and about a week after i took delivery, i got an automated email that the price i had negotiated through zag was no longer valid. apparently the shipments from japan were slowing down (tsunami), so the stock would be low for a while, and they could no longer honor my price. too bad i had already bought it.

Got my '11 from a local dealer who had it shipped 300 or so miles. It was hard to get exactly what I wanted but not impossible.

They sent an elderly couple to Milwaukee and they drove it back here. They paid the guy and his wife, but I paid sticker price minus some dealer installed options (mats, lighted kick panels, wheel locks, etc). The 400 miles doesn't count against warranty mileage.

Both of the Nissan Dealers here only have two 2011 and a about 6 or 7 2010. The dealer let me know that they only have two because of the Japan disaster.

A brand new 2011 m/t base is still shown on Autotrader for about $28,900 and many others still carry prices thousands off MSRP. Buyers should hustle in case prices do rise on account of supply disruption---although in this depressed economy I think it's buyers for less practical cars like 2 seat Z's are what's in short supply.

Dealer I got mine from is still getting new ones in... They do have one '10 leftover that's base + sport in silver, which is not exactly "rare" or anything.

Econ · 05-27-2011, 09:48 AM

yea, not too many '11's around.

hell, i got a (new) leftover '09 a couple months ago.

cossie1600 · 05-27-2011, 09:53 AM

It's the same car. As long as you get a great deal on it, it doesn't matter

Yeah, remember the depreciation is way higher on the '09 since it's "two years old" the second it leaves the lot.

My local dealerships have just as man new GTRs as they do new 370Zs. There is one 2011 Nismo. Lots of used 350Zs and 09 370Zs though.

HotZ · 05-27-2011, 02:36 PM

Nissan called me last night about my inquiry about low production of 370Zs. They we extremely careful not to comment on actual production, but it sounds like they are only producing the GT-R at this time. At least that is my interpretation - they refused to be pinned down to any really hard information. I wonder why they are so cautious....
