2013 Arrivals

Zer02Sixty · 06-17-2012, 01:03 PM

Hey my fellow enthusiasts! I ordered a 2013 Midnight Blue and Pearl White in April, got my VIN in May, and now the cars are on a ship to America. My ETA is July even though Nissan released the details of the car months ago with June being the arrival month. Any one else have an incoming '13 so we can all share the excitement of counting down together??

Got a 2013 gun metal grey 6mt w/sport pkg on order. Ordered over 5 weeks ago. I'll check with my dealer tomorrow to see about vin # & expected delivery date.

It's tough reading about everyone enjoying their Z's, but I guess the anticipation is half the fun!

I hear ya bus. I ALMOST bought a '12 yesterday when I went to the dealership and the sales manager told me Mid-July for the arrival. Your order is definitely in the second round of shipments. Once you get a vin it will be 6 weeks to deliver since you live in Hawaii and not main land.

Got word from dealer, my 2013Z to be shipped from Japan in late July. Has to go to California first, to get thru customs and then on to Honolulu. Probably mid August when I receive it!

Congrats Bus!! I called up my dealer today and both my cars are still on a boat. I give up on asking every week. I'll just accept that Nissan goofed when they said June is when the 13s hit US dealerships. July 27th is my date

I talked to my dealer today
about the new 2013 Nissan
Altima. They have a "no sale"
demo to show people right now
at the dealer.

I did ask him (while I had him
on the phone) about the "new
redesigned" 2013 Nissan 370z.
He told me ... much later in
the fall.

That is my 2 cents.

Dealer informed me that prior to my Z coming in, they will be receiving 2 in mid July. One's an auto and the other is a 6mt w/sport pkg in PW. Said he'll call me when it comes in to see if I would be interested in taking that instead of waiting for the 6mt w/sport pkg GMG color which I ordered.

It's possible, yours could be on this earlier shipment.

I see your from NY, what dealer did you order from and when exactly did you place the order? I'm apparently due for August.

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!!!

I ordered a 13' from Koeppel about a month ago, only detail I have from Joe is August ETA.

Magic Bus · 06-17-2012, 10:14 PM

LakeShow, you getting the Pearl White or Midnight Blue?

Zer02Sixty · 06-17-2012, 10:20 PM

The last 4 of my VIN is 0270 was told it's one of the first built. I recommend asking your salesman to email you a copy of your order info. If your order is "ONS" it means order not serialized so another 2 weeks to get built.

Saw my first midnight blue on the street. Assuming it's not an aftermarket paintjob... AWESOME color! Wish they had it when I bought mine.
