Default Where are the 2011 Z's?

I live in the northeast (near Manhattan) and have seen very few 2011 Z's at the local dealerships. Most are 2010 leftovers. I wrote to Nissan to ask if this was due to the recent disasters in Japan. They refused to answer my question and replied "Nissan is not in the position to move forward with your request." Anyone out there having a hard time finding a new Z?

I know the dealer I went to only had two Z's and they were both 2010's. They told me that there were two blues in state and one red out of state with my build. The BS one I am getting just showed up on their system as ordered a few days after I was there. So quantities seem limited around here as well.

I got mine 3 weeks ago but I ordered it. My dealer told me that they are only making a few 2011 models for the z and are just going to hold off till 2012 to make more again since the only thing they are working on now is to build the GT-Rs that were lost and the leaf.

i couldn't find any 2011s near me at all. i still see the same two 2010s at the dealer by my work for the last ~4 months. the dealer gave me some crap about the Zs being the sports cars and they come out later in the year than the rest of the fleet.

Got my 2011 a couple of weeks ago. Local dealer had no Z's, he got mine from Milwaukee, 400 miles away.

You bring up an interesting point. How did the dealer get a car that was 400 miles away? I assume you didn't get a car with 400 miles already on it, so how did they ship it & did they ask you to share the expense?

plenty of 2011s and still some 2010s sitting around this area when i was shopping in march/april.

i used the zag car buying service through usaa when i purchased, and about a week after i took delivery, i got an automated email that the price i had negotiated through zag was no longer valid. apparently the shipments from japan were slowing down (tsunami), so the stock would be low for a while, and they could no longer honor my price. too bad i had already bought it.

A brand new 2011 m/t base is still shown on Autotrader for about $28,900 and many others still carry prices thousands off MSRP. Buyers should hustle in case prices do rise on account of supply disruption---although in this depressed economy I think it's buyers for less practical cars like 2 seat Z's are what's in short supply.

They sent an elderly couple to Milwaukee and they drove it back here. They paid the guy and his wife, but I paid sticker price minus some dealer installed options (mats, lighted kick panels, wheel locks, etc). The 400 miles doesn't count against warranty mileage.

An autotrader search shows 972 new listings for 2011-2012 370Z and 858 coupes, maybe a month's supply?

That doesn't seem too low to me?

Looks like if you want to buy a Z you need to go south!
