Please don't come in here and say it takes six weeks. There are many on this forum who ordered their Z's and waited months, not weeks.

Factory orders from Nissan take a minimum of 12 weeks. Some have waited as much as 18 weeks for delivery.

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.)

This guy sounded a little too good to be true. Hopefully everyone who is considering this "Dealership", will have second thoughts.

I just delivered a factory order 370 in 8 weeks, which is how I know that it is possible. Do some people wait longer? Certainly, but as I said before, it depends on the stage of production, and the allocation. Quote:
That had nothing to do with me, which the article clearly states. Those people have been fired, and are being prosecuted. Everyone that was involved was aware of what was happening, no buyers were taken advantage of, they were paid for the use of their information. Here is clear tone for you: It's pretty ignorant to make blanket statments about an organization, based on past actions of 3 terminated employees. Our dealership is number one in the GTA for client satisfaction. There is nothing shady about that. Last edited by BLUE KOMODO; 04-13-2010 at 03:48 PM. |

As far as the accusations of fraud goes... people can make up thier own minds. My advice is to do the talking with your wallet and try someone who has not been accused and convicted of "shady" dealings. As an earlier poster put it... "not a very professional reply". Maybe, just maybe, you should ask AK (the owner of this forum) if you can apply to be a forum vendor. Like all the rest of the legitimate businesses on this forum. Your admission of "using buyer's information and paying them" to sell vehicles to others, may have an influence on that decision. I'm not trying to be rude. Or demean your business. But a lot of us have had the experience of ordering their Z and having to wait. We can smell if something doesn't sound right. And your statement of getting a factory ordered Z in 6 to 8 weeks and doing it dozens of times, just sounds a bit strange. I hope that's a polite enough way of putting it.
