You obviously weren't around last spring & summer. Most, if not all factory orders for this car (the 370Z) were three month waits. Twelve weeks was the minimum wait time for a factory order,
period. As I mentioned earlier, some waited much longer (in excess of 18 weeks).
This year "may" be different. But the wait times for factory orders from Japan are still pretty long. I'm not complaining (many others did and loudly). I knew going in (from a well informed salesman) that the wait would be around 12 weeks. I think a lot of people got very "uptight" about sales people who promised something that was unachievable (the 6 to 8 week window).
So if you're promising that length of time, don't be surprised if people come down on you very hard when that window is compromised. A little due diligence goes a long way (on both sides of a transaction). Also remember, this is not a heavy production sub-compact. It is a pretty limited production sports car. (Again adding to the wait times.)
