Ask them for container number and name of vessel carrier. Some carriers offer on-line container tracking.

California first and then back to Hawaii?!?! Man that's messed up! But congratulations on your new car.

Thanks, and yeah that sounded strange when I first heard it also, but I guess it makes sense. The Japanese automakers use very large ships, which are specifically set up to transport cars & trucks. These ships can hold 4,000+ vehicles and normally go back and forth from Japan to the west coast of the US.

Because 80% of our goods get shipped in from the west coast. The manufacturers can then have the few cars dedicated for Hawaii moved onto these other ships.

Thanks goodness these miles don't count on the odometer......if it did, we'd have over 5,000 miles on the clock!!!

Actually, the more I thought about this, the more I believe Zer02Sixty is behind this odd shipping scenario.......he doesn't want me to snag his Midnight Blue!!!

It's a race, let's see who gets their Z first!

Magic Bus · 06-25-2012, 02:08 PM

That's funny Show, our first race in the Z, without the Z's! I'm in

That's a great idea but most sales managers aren't smart/caring enough to pull that information. To be honest I'm just fed up at this point I'm just gonna wait until I get "the" call.

LOL I don't know why they are reporting inventory on those vehicles, they aren't grounded in America yet. The dealer sites say "in transit".Those are probably in the same shipment my cars are in since they have vins but that's it.

How different will prices for 2013 be?
Any thoughts, guys?

My sales contact told me the reason why they were slow to reveal any pricing on 2013s is because they are going to be priced the same as the 12s. If that news came out while 800 2012s were still on sale it would cannibalize the sales. ; ) So don't expect much of an increase my friend.

i am so sorry for the 2013 owners with their ugly wheels and bumper.

If that is true, then I will be a proud owner of 2013 Z fairly soon ;P

Good to hear about the pricing, Sixty.

Me, I'm set on the Gun Metallic but would love to see the pics of your Blue when you get it!
