A New version of the Nismo ?

Nargrakhan

I just came from a local Nissan dealer a few hours ago. They're one of the larger ones in my area. Long story short: they couldn't make a preorder to the Nissan factory. One of the senior guys made a few phone calls, and his contacts told him it was still too early.

I'm guessing the July thing is when dealers can order the new NISMO, rather than when dealers would actually have them on their lots. In addition there's an 8 to 12 week wait when "special ordering" a car straight from the factory.

Nonetheless, the dealer said they would call me each week during June. They're hoping Nissan will unlock whatever is preventing them from making orders before July. They want to have the first regional sale of a 2015 NISMO, as much as I want to be the first regional owner.

For some reason, I thought I had read that they will be showing up at dealerships in July, but looking back at the official release from Nissan, it just says that the "2015 Nissan 370Z NISMO goes on sale at U.S. Nissan dealers in July 2014." Maybe that's when orders can start happening.

Thanks!

So if you are special ordering the 2015 Nismo 370Z that means you guys are willing to pay the stealership mark up price? Let's say additional $5,000?

We never got to the part of price. They couldn't properly lookup the 2015 NISMO 370Z on their system, nor get a confirmed quote from the supply chain. However I'd expect the new NISMO, if equipped with the tech package and automatic, to cost a few thousand more than the 2014 manual with no navigation version.

That being said... I can still negotiate the sales price. Just because you order straight from the factory, doesn't mean you have to pay full sticker. There's more than one Nissan dealer in the area. I just picked the largest and most successful, because I figured they'd have the best chance of securing solid information.

Once I get the "price sheet" of what the base car and options cost, I can workout the negotiation part. I wouldn't mind paying full sticker, if I can squeeze the savings out of the trade-in.

On the otherhand, being the first 2015 owner would have great bragging rights for me. The 370Z is a rare sight in my city -- 'stangs and 'vettes are by far the favorites -- and the new version is sure to be an eye catcher. Might be willing to take a little wallet burn for that...

Seeing how I'm likely to have at least two months to stew on all this, I'll have time to consider everything. Deal isn't locked in until the papers are inked and money has traded hands.
