Dealers Lying Or Has Nissan Put A Hold On Production

lol I agree that its over priced for sure bro! Its just the price of convenience I suppose.

I'm already making a list of stuff I have to do once I order my 2012 NISMO car:
-Salvage sub, sub mount and amp from current Z (leaving headunit / bluetooth + adapters)

-Shop for new head unit - looking at the Alpine INA-W910. Anyone heard anything good/bad about it? Kinda bummed it doesn't have a hard drive or traffic congestion warnings like the touring kit does but w/e.

-Find "solid red" paint code, have calipers powder coated

-Buy new crossover, adapters, wiring

-Buy new door speakers & tweeters.

-Price out oil coolers

-Price out intakes.

did you guys have to put down a deposit for the 370z? or were the dealers willing to order them without the deposit?

Depends on the dealer really. The dealer i went through was nice enough to tell me not to give them a deposit since they didn't know if they were going to be able to order my Z back when i first ordered it. they of course were able to order it, but when i asked them again if they needed a deposit they still told me that i didnt need to put a deposit down.

P.S.

This was through Fontana Nissan, one of the sponsoring forum dealers

Every dealer I have spoken to wants a deposit. Nothing less than $1000, and as high as $2000.

Again though, I am not giving them a dime until I know they have an actual allocation.

Absolutely! I can see how committing one of their allocated slots for free would be unwise, but for them to take money just to put you on a list where it costs them nothing and has ZERO potential to cost them anything is just slimey.

Dealership I'm working with has asked for a $1000 fully refundable deposit once they are able to order the 2012s.

Also make sure you get your deposit refund conditions in writing along with a fully receipt.

My experience has been similar with Fontana.

Update:

I have my 2012 model year VIN#, and a scheduled delivery of November 18th. I'm thinking this means my car is built and it's a matter of getting it shipped from Japan to Ohio.

AWESOME!!!!

Bonzo · 10-17-2011, 09:24 AM

So I swung by my dealer on Saturday and got the official paperwork. Car was built on September 25th, and is scheduled for delivery the week of 11/18. The other paperwork, a dot matrix report print out, has the code on where the car is, and INT means sea transit, so it's on the boat. My dealer says that in the last 3 months every car they have gotten has actually arrived 1 - 2 weeks earlier than the scheduled date.

AWESOME, it's on it's way.

RunNgun · 10-17-2011, 12:01 PM

Must be old news. Mine is definitely a 2012, and it should be here in about a month.

Nissan distribution told my dealer in August the 2012 models would start being built in September, and it's appears they were telling the truth.

RunNgun · 10-17-2011, 01:12 PM

So what did you negotiate the price to?
