Issue finding a dealer with the 40th Year Ed.

TARDCORE · 12-16-2009, 11:04 PM

Well I have been to 3 Nissan Dealerships. I am not looking for one that has one in inventory obviously its too early. I just want to find one that can give me an answer on an estimated delivery date and possibly even reserve one; even if the guy tells me not until april I'd be happy. Sounds easy right? not in my case.

For those of you familar with so cal's major dealers: 2 of them were Mossy Nissan (1 in National City and 1 in El Cajon) and the other was Pacific Nissan in San Diego. ALL 3 did not know anything about the 40th Year Anniversary Edition! And both Mossy Nissan's sales reps didn't even believe me that they were releasing one soon and one of the douches laughed at me then began to try and sell me a 2007 350z sitting right next to him before I stopped him and told him that they were 2 different cars. He replied "oh c'mon! they aren't that different, they look nearly identicle" WTF DUDE!?!?!

I have called a few dealers as well, one in Ontario and one in Temecula. Both gave me the same answer but a lot more politely.

So what are my options? I feel like since they are only making 1000 of these models at least half are gone to people with connections who are collectors or just want the car like I do. My friend told me that sometimes dealers in other states will ship it for free if I pay the MSRP price. I know its early but I have seen other dealers already have them in stock and I feel like the race is on. Any thoughts or opinions?

I think it's a little early.

djward · 12-17-2009, 09:04 AM

I would call around. There is a waiting list they can put you on. I'm on one. Slated to be ordered next month and delivery by the end of March. It will be hard to come by though.

koeppelnissan · 12-17-2009, 10:23 AM

We stll haven't received much from Nissan, but I know we are getting 2 of them (hopefully in Spring, I can't get a straight answer).

TARDCORE · 12-17-2009, 03:24 PM

It just bugs me more I guess that the salemans did not even know about the car itself and even laughed at me for asking about it. I guess I am not mad enough to take the time to write Mossy Nissan about my experience though haha

corner3garage · 12-17-2009, 07:44 PM

I really like the color on the 40th anniversary edition

A dealership I have bought from before knows Ive been waiting for this car. As soon as the pricing was released, I went down and my salesman (who is the internet sales "manager") took a $200 check and started a list. I have no idea how official this is and I have no doubt he could screw me if he wanted to. I dont think he will......I guess we will find out. He did not know the ship date or when to expect them, but he said they were getting 1, maybe 2 of them (and this is a big dealer in Houston)

He said he would call me in late January as soon as he knew when he should be expecting the car.

I think I've done everything I can do.......I'm just going to have to trust that he leaves my name at the top of the list, doesnt get fired, and doesnt try to charge me some crazy amount in order to get me to back away and sell to someone else.

You should write a polite letter to the owner and GM of the dealership expressing your disappointment at the sales force's apparently cluelessness about their own product.

scruffydog · 12-20-2009, 01:52 PM

yea, so far I'm having that same luck with the 40th anniversary Edition. I'm from Nor Cal and the experience I've been having so far from contacting dealership been not so great. Majority of the dealerships don't know anything about this model and are trying to interest me in a 2009 370z. They're like, "if you could provide me the color, and options..." I'm thinking "ARE YOU KIDDING ME? While I want to explain to you things you should already know about the car, do you want me to do your job for you while I'm at it?

I got one dealership that told me Nissan's only making 1000 units and they're only getting 2 in store, they said that I won't be able to "Order" them, I think she claims that Nissan is just going to send them as their request since the car is already fully configured. She said I need to do a down deposit. And Nav is available for this car.

I then wrote back to her asking how much down deposit be, and how she can guarantee the car will have a NAV if I "can't" order the car when NAV isn't a std for the 40th Anniversary Edition....and she never got back to me with neither the down deposit amt or anything about the NAV. Sigh

BTW, I still haven't gotten an exact answer from anyone whether the 40th anniversary has an option for the NAV package....some quoting websites lets you add it on there, but one thing that gets me worried is that the MSRP for the 40th anniversary edition is already confirmed at ~$38K, which doesn't lists out the NAV. I'm guessing the NAV version would be $40K+ for MSRP mainly because the MSRP for the fully loaded 370Z is already at ~$38K and the MSRP for the NAV package is ~$1800.

370ZBLACK09 · 12-20-2009, 03:54 PM

I know for a fact that a dealership here in North Carolina is getting one but they are only getting the one so it will go insanely fast

nameless · 12-20-2009, 03:55 PM

There won't be a Navi option.

TARDCORE · 12-20-2009, 03:59 PM

when was the navi option confirmed? regaurdless... 2k for navi option or a 2k aftermarket head unit. I would choose the aftermarket. If this car is going to be to hard to get I will just get a normal one and not really regreat anything except the dam red leather!! BUT with all the money I will have saved by april (which was my expected date to get one) I could just go get an M3 or vette grand sport instead lol

danny@FontanaNissan · 12-20-2009, 04:25 PM

I heard we're getting quite a bit of the 40th Editions. The first one we'll be receiving is in February.

Cool I will definetely PM you at the end of January. Have you guys had any iquiries about the 40th year at your dealer from customers? It seems not too many people know about it as of now.

Not too many people know about it yet. However we do have a few phone calls on it. I'll PM you as soon as I have the specs.
