Omg...at last. Starting to lose sleep.
 

Finally pulled the trigger after many months of thought, research, and reading this god-blessed forum. Black base 6mt with sport pkg, illuminated kick plates (way too cool not to have), painted splash guards, and floor mats. Factory ordered and should be here in beg-mid august. Paid 300 above invoice.

Here is what I own now:

Overall, im very excited and would like to thank this forum for all the awesomeness it brings (both the good and the......occasional sub-par but comical stuff nonetheless). So the countdown starts and I am sure i will be losing some sleep over this. Cheers!

Congrats Tim. You trading in the s2k i assume?

Congratulations! :)

Some of the better-looking rims for the S2000. Congrats on your purchase... I think you're going to like a REAL push-button start for a change. ;)

They have stopped production on 2009's and don't start production for 2010 until October. All new orders are now late November to December, sorry. I ordered my car over 8 weeks ago and was told yesterday that it looks like it will arrive around Xmas or a little sooner, if I'm lucky. The only way you will get your Z earlier than that, is if they can find an existing 2009 model on another lot.

Damn, Tim that was quick. That wan't one of my searches was it?

Frost, yes the s2k is gone and I am pretty sad. I know i'll miss that car for sure.

Alexus, Haha i know...that's exactly what i thought today. I love the keyless go and i hate that on the s2k, u have to hold onto the button til the engine starts. pretty useless feature.

NXTAZEE, this was ordered by another customer back in june. I just got lucky and that guy flaked so i got to take this. it was the exact way i wanted it so things worked out.

Fusz, this wasn't one of your searches but it just happened out of dumb luck. Yeah it was so random but thanks again for all your help!

Congratulations!

John

I was gonna say....
Congrats

:tup:

-another tim :icon17:

Very nice Tim. Congrats :tup: . I'm glad we were able to help you research your car. Your specs are perfect! (Black base 6mt with sport pkg, illuminated kick plates (way too cool not to have), painted splash guards, and floor mats) I do regret not getting the illuminated kick plates because on base model it's ugly black plastic! :shakes head: I didn't get a chance to see this before ordering my car since all demo cars were touring model. I also think splash guards complete the exterior look of the car. My 350Z had painted splash guards too.

Well, keep us posted. :hello: Don't forget to share some pics when you get it :pics:

P.S. Did you get sports package or no?

gratz tim :)

Thanks guys can't wait!!!!! AK, i did get the sports package. I think it's a great bang for the buck.

Do you think you'll miss the convertible? Now that the weather is nice, I sometimes fantasize that I had the roadster instead. The lines of the coupe are so sweet though.

Absolutely yes. There is nothing like dropping the top and winding through the pacific coast highway or a back mountain road on a summer night coasting thru the gears at 8000 revs. Probably the best motoring experience ever. However, i had to balance out the realities. The car isn't very forgiving. Super loud road and windnoise, stiff, absolutely no luxury amentities, super tiny cabin, etc. Z fit the bill perfectly. But yes, i will miss it.

It still doesn't change the fact that they are not making anymore 2009's. If there are not any on the lots then you will get a 2010 unfortunately. My car was ordered in May, and I'm looking at Xmas for a 2010 model.

Look, the salesperson told me and showed me on her system the status of the car. It was ordered in June,09 and scheduled for delivery in aug,09. It IS an MY09. Do you want me to tell you mine will be delayed til december too so that you can feel better?

Hey man thats great if they say you are getting your car, I'm very happy for you, really I am. I just don't get it. Someone factory orders an 09 in June and is able to get it, I factory order one in May and I'm told Xmas :confused:. I'm not looking for "sympathy loves company" here, I'm just confused.

Hmm....that doesn't sound right. Even reading the posts here, it seems like it takes about 8 weeks to get the car after ordering. Christmas is way too long - i wonder why they said that...

They told me that production has stopped on 2009 models. Only the cars on the lots are the ones to choses from. There are no more 2009 Z's coming out of Japan. Maybe the US gets cars and Canada doesn't :shakes head:. Any way good luck, I hope yours comes.

Ok will let u know. Atleast if mine is a flake as well we can cry about it together HAHA
