Dealership custom order wait times?
 

When I went to the dealer they said I would have to custom order one since they we're not getting any 7AT in. He said it could take from several weeks up to several months with a $500 deposit.

Could it really take several months? That seems a little excessive. For anyone who has ordered one, how long are you waiting for?

I special ordered my 04 350 track and it took 5 months. So yes it can take awhile

ehh...I think they're just making you hold out to try to take their inventory of their hands.

The old Z's had more customizable options I think. I'm only looking for a 7AT black 370Z with sport+touring. For some reason the automatics seem hard to find. I plan to special order it by the end of the month, I'm just hoping I won't have to wait too long :P

Wait times for orders
 

I was told 90 to 120 days for a custom order from two different dealerships in Western WA.

That's odd, I've been calling around the last few weeks (here in central NJ), and 3 out of 4 dealers have 7AT and no 6MT.

Same as in Vegas. There is only one 6MT in town out of the four dealerships here.

That's interesting, I'm in South Florida. Can't find any 7AT....even the dealership said they arent getting any in their next shipments

You bastards in Florida are hogging all the first shipment 6MT's.

I asked my dealer today, he told me the wait is 2-3 days.
with $300 deposit

and yea where the hell is all the 6mt to many 7AT running around

I'm assuming they located one for you and that's how long it would take to get it to the dealership?

that or he's bs'n me lol... He said they would locate one if theres not one in NY

According to the dealer I talked to, the dealer can get another car from another dealers by exchanging or purchasing. If there is none in the inventory, it will take about 5 to 6 weeks.

That's pretty much what my friend said, he used to work at a dealership.

Funny, at our dealership all they had we're two A/Ts with touring and no sport pkg. So now my dad will have to wait awhile until we can try out the manual before he can order his. Kinda sucks but I guess the distribution of cars was kinda random.

To correst..I am paying $36,900 for Yellow, Sport, Touring, AT, floor mats, illum door panels, trunk mat. MSRP is about $40,300. I have contacted over 50 dealerships just in the couthern california area and only a few offer around $400 over invoice and most are MSRP only. This price is right at invoice and maybe even a bit lower. I got lucky with the mis-quote on the $500 charge for yellow.

The initial release was kind of expected to the dealers. Nissan just dropped off the car without telling the dealers. The sales guy I talked to said his dealer didn't even place the order for the car.

Try Coral Springs Nissan. They have a few 7AT Z's.

Gang,

My Son is the Service Manger at the local Nissan Dealer. He tells me, when I asked him to find out, that from Order time to delivery time is 45 to 60 days. Now there are certain times of the month you have to order by. But he didn't tell me when those dates are.

Update 1-24
I have found out today that you need to order by the 8th of the month to get the order in in time for that months builds.

Good looks sir, very nice information!
Jeez... I can't stand waiting...
I'm so impatient!

Hey, that's the American way. We can't stand to wait on anything. We are a very impatient society and that's not all bad. Because look at all that has been accomplished by Americans over the last 200+ years.
