Dealer keep delaying delivery
Hey guys, so I joined this forum nearly a month ago with the thought id have my new 370 within the week.... which is what the dealer said. Its been close to a month now and everytime I ring they say its coming it coming but it never does. I really love the car and want it got a fairly good price on a new one but any cheaper id have to fly to another state which I didnt really want to do. What should I do? Is it normal to wait a month or so for a 370. How long have you guys waited on a new car.

I got mine in 2 weeks after placing a deposit. If the dealer said it is within 1 week, that usually means a pre-built model. Any longer and it seems like it's an ordered Z from the factory.

I'm right there with you on this one. I talked with my dealer about 2 weeks ago and settled on price. They didn't have the car I wanted in their inventory so we were going to get it from another dealer. I was told they had to call the out of state dealer to confirm they'd sell me that particular car. Days go by and I hear nothing. I call and email and they tell me that they actually have the exact car I want in transit from the port (this was 4 days ago). Since then I've been told its going to show up and it just doesn't. Granted I haven't waited as long as you I feel like the dealer is doing something behind the scenes to buy time. All in all its annoying because I could have gone to another dealer haggled price and been driving the car already, if only I didn't leave a deposit .

If your 370Z is coming from Tochigi Japan, the headquarters for Nissan and where all 370Z's are made (just in case you didn't know)go by the date they gave your dealer, as far as build month and delivery month goes. Don't get caught up on an actual date, i was told so many dates by my salesman that i just told myself this is between me and Nissan, not this salesman who doesn't know as much as he should about the 370z as it is ( not that he could teach me anything, but still be informed about the vehicles your selling). Nissan told my dealership production on my Z would start in December 2011 it did (December 16,2011), and delivery would be February 2012, it was (February 25,2012). Mind you i ordered July 7,2011, but she was well worth the wait.

Yea thats annoying too. I keep thinking to myself the car isnt in the country yet. when I put a deposit down theu said it was on a boat to australia and theu told me on 3 different occasions the car has arrived in the country but those three times were weeks apart. They wont return my calls and all they can say is itll be worth the wait (only if they mix it up with a gtr but that wont happen). Im might go to the dealer to review the contract and see if theres anything about them not providing the car within a certain time period. Maybe you should too CorbinDallas.

Your salesman should be able to tell you, it was like i was doing all the work myself on those type of updates though. No problem, that's what the Nissan survey's are for, trust me, Nissan reads the surveys. As a matter of fact, the Nissan survey my wife and i filled out came with a pre paid envelope.

Did you have to order a 2012, or is the dealer sending you one from their lot?

Its a 2012. When i ordered it they said they already had one on a boat on its way. The last arrival date they told me was the 13th and sais 8-10 days for compliance. its been 15days and still nothing.

One thing to consider that I've heard dealers do is if they have someone willing to pay full price or more for your same car they will sell it to gain the profit and then reorder yours. Could be why they keep saying it's coming when it doesn't. There is a chance it did arrive and someone happened to see and said they would buy for MSRP.

Just and FYI about those Nissan surveys; You can easily ruin the relationship you have with the dealership. Last edited by canes7; 04-27-2012 at 03:15 PM. |
