Ordered 2011 370Z today!
Been lurking on this board for nearly two years now and finally made the move today, after searching unsuccessfully for a car for months. Ordered a new 2011 coupe in gun metallic with touring + sport package + nav, and of course, a proper 6MT. Thanks to Danny@Fontana for the help.

He didn't take them because the ones on the lot don't have nav.
Congrats Nixlimited! I have the exact setup you ordered and love it. Good choice on the MT.

Right, NAV has been a real issue to find. While there aren't many options for this car, it seems like VERY few have all of the options. After looking for months for what I wanted, I finally just gave up and ordered one. VERY excited.

well that sucks, i wonder why it got bumped? i know i've been in contact with Danny@Fontana and mine is due to arrive next week, still at least they let you know about it unlike some other dealers i have heard about on these forums.

I think there are still issues stemming from the tsunami. I don't really know. I just can't believe it's gonna be damn near a year of trying to buy one by the time I get it.

Picking up my Black 11 roadster on Saturday. Black top 7at sport and nav. Looks like the dealer just got it very recently, and I was lucky enough to snag it, close or at invoice!

Roadsters have been generally more easy to come by. Congratulations on your new ride! I am jealous.

Not sayin'....
Quote:
Are all your relations with your dealer verbal, or do you actually have an official Nissan computer generated order form thing, with code#'s etc etc.? Not a dealer order form all filled out, but a Nissan computer print out. If you have that, then I'd probably lose my bet. If you don't, and the dealer can't provide it to you, then I win. Trust me. What I can tell you for sure is with 100% certainty is that no dealer in the Dayton Cincinnati Columbus area of Ohio has gotten an order allocation for June, July or August. None. I have checked with every major dealer, and some small ones. Knowing that the recent cars they have gotten in the past 2 months were ordered in February & March, I'd make a strong guess that they also weren't able to order a car in April or May either. Now I know this is just this area, but again, I'd be willing to bet that it's all dealers everywhere. I think the tsunami hit in March, and the 370Z production has STILL not yet recovered. This is a low volume low profit margin car for Nissan, so it's getting last priority. All the talk about jumping to 2012 models makes me think they just stopped making Z's altogether while they put all their resources into other cars. I wish we had an inside man on this forum from Japan that could tell us the dirt. That way we wouldn't have to speculate.

Hate to say "i told you so" but for one, as per another thread where the OP responded,they never took any deposit from him to begin with and add to that....i ordered my Z from the same dealer and just got a call from them today saying that it got delivered today. Yes i will admit alot of dealers will do the whole take your deposit and hold it hostage thing, but Fontana Nissan is not one of them as i never had to put down a deposit on mine either when i ordered it back at the beginning of May. |
