I think the tsunami wiped out a lot of the inventory. I usually carry 23-30 Z's at this time of the year, and I have 6 if that tells you anything. And I Zero coming in.
Does this mean that dealers cannot factory order 2011 370z's any longer?

Quite possible, but so far we don't know for sure, at least not on this thread.

All I can say is all the dealers I contacted did not get an allocation in June. Now it's just time to wait until July, then August, and so on.

My guess is they shut it down for a bit until they catch up with all the cars they lost, then it will crank back up again.

But who knows when for sure? I think we would all love the answer to that.

Well, I asked koeppelnissan and he said that if a Z was ordered in the first week of June it would come very late august to early September. :O

That I can't honestly answer. I haven't had anyone order an 11(in the past month or so, as of right now, I technically don't know.

I picked up my 2010 Nismo for a few grand under invoice. I live in Utah, so demand is pretty low here.

Maybe you could look at out of state inventories? If you find a great deal on the exact car you want, that would offset for the pain of buying from abroad.

Well, no offense, but I'm thinking your dealer just took your order, which is not the same as actually placing an order with Nissan. I say this for several reasons. One, in order to have ordered a car yesterday, it would have had to been on your dealer's June allocation, because July's allocations won't be until, you guessed it, July. But, from what all the dealers told me, they only have 2 days to actually place an order after they receive the allocation. So your dealer's June allocation is gone. Since June is gone, and July hasn't been released yet, I really don't think your car has actually been ordered. I think your dealer just took your order verbally assuming they would get an allocation in July, and only then would they actually enter the order in Nissan's system. Thing is, if they don't get that allocation in July, then they will have to wait until August, and so on. You might want to keep tabs on that.

Now if you do in fact have an official Nissan computer print out of the allocated order, then I guess I'm all wet, and something screwy is going on, and we are not being told the whole story or the truth by dealers. Fact is as we have been told so far, there is no way a dealer can place an order with Nissan on June 26, 27 or 28 (what ever day it was exactly).

Or, perhaps you didn't actually place a custom order? Maybe your dealer already ordered the car weeks or months ago, and you are just taking ownership of it in advance because you like all the options they picked? That would be really cool for you, for sure, but that doesn't fit in with the dilemma others and I are facing trying to place a custom order.

Hopefully, they only took a month off, but that's part of the worry. When did you get your last allocation to order? Was it in May or April or March or worse? I can wait, but I'm just worried dealers and Nissan themselves will raise the prices in the mean time to cover the losses.

A dealer here has a car close to what I want, but it's got the splash guards (which I personally really don't care for), and the nimrod screwed the front plate right into the white part of the bumper. I don't want 2 drill holes in my brand new car. Besides, this dealer F'ed me so hard when I got my Murano from him that there is NO WAY I will give him my money again. I am really not ready to pay for a new car until August or September, so that's why I wanted to order it now and not just buy it off the lot. But I'm starting to wonder if 2 bumper holes and splash guards might be the least of my worries.

You don't have this car do you?

Equipped WITH (stuff I do want)
-7 speed Automatic Transmission
-Sport Package
-Pearl White Exterior
-Black Cloth Interior
-Carpeted Floor Mats
-Illuminated Kick Plates (optional, won't make or break)
-"Z" Valve Stem Caps (Dealer Installed)


Equipped WITHOUT (stuff I don't want)
-In-Mirror Rearview Monitor = $785
-Carpeted Trunk Mat = $95
-Splash Guards = $225 (according to the website, these are optional, and I do NOT want them)


Cheers ---- Bonzo
Go to another Nissan dealership in the area, and bring in a magazine or an ad that has that 370Z in it from the other dealership and tell them you want THAT ONE. Then maybe, just maybe, they'll be able to pull that car into their dealership and sell it to you. I've seen it done before on Lexus's. And you can get the bumper holes fixed and the splash guards removed. I would get this car.

I told my dealer back in March what I wanted and they didn't place the order until mid-June during their allocation period. This is because Nissan wasn't taking orders during April and May to catch up on old orders before taking new ones.

What I was told is that they got their chance to order for July early, but to be honest, I don't know with 100% certainty what the deal is. My order is custom though, as we went over all the options I wanted yesterday. I have no reason to doubt what I was told, but I will update my post with any information as I get it.
