Ordering 2010 Models

prichardson

I just got confirmation that my order will get built! I'm expecting June delivery, but secretly hoping May. Touring 6M Carbon Silver (aka Platinum Graphite), Persimmon, Sport + Nav.

Can't wait! I'm driving a 2000 VW Golf GLS 1.8T, so I'm looking forward to more than double the horsepower! And just a touch more sex appeal!

Ya think ?

Keep in mind, I'm a Canuck so that's in CAD$ - don't know how helpful this'll be for you.

I'm going to sell my car privately to try and get a bit more dough.

How long after you ordered did you get confirmation that it would be built. i ordered mine Saturday (exact same as you but with metallic black)

It depends, really to many variables. But if it was a new order and they didn't have an allocation yet, maybe 1-2 months.

Hold on, so 1-2 months to get confirmation? THEN 3-4 months of waiting?

prichardson

It wasn't so simple for me and it may be different up here in Canada. Perhaps there aren't as many production runs for us, but I was led to believe that there was one primary production run, then possibly a smaller secondary one in March if the sales warrant it. Here's my short story:

• I put a deposit down for a car on Jan 28.
• They couldn't find what I was looking for so they placed an order on Feb 2.
• I received confirmation on Feb 18 saying that the production run was going to happen in March.
• It's supposed to take 2 months to build.
• I'm not sure how long it will take to ship, train, truck it to me.

Here's my long story:

GRRR. Apparently I only *thought* I bought my new Z

Maybe their are more production runs for cars destined for the US. But no matter what you'll need a little patience! (says the guy who'll barley be able to contain himself for the next several months)

Where in Ottawa did you buy your Z? I'm originally from Nepean

I can't believe they sell for over $50K there! Canadian taxes are a killer...

prichardson

Not sure how long it's been for you but I bought from Hunt Club Nissan, which is a relatively new, large, bright, shiny dealership. Very slick. Walkley Nissan was torn down a few months ago - a new Shoppers Drug Mart is being built there.

I grew up in Nepean too! I went to Merivale High School. Good times.

Even if I could negotiate them down to Dealer Invoice ($42,214), taxes and all the rest still would have nudged it right up to $50K! At least that's fully loaded with all the goodies. Expensive, yes - but of all the cars I was looking at, this is only car I can afford which really makes me feel like I'm not compromising. The Hyundai Genesis Coupe is pretty good bang for the buck, but it's just not in the same league in my opinion. Pretty much every other car I was looking at you either needed to lay down some serious coin to feel like you weren't compromising (S4, S5, M3) or you couldn't get manual transmission (IS350). WRX STI caught my eye, but it just doesn't have the sex appeal. So I'm stoked to get my hands on my zed! (relax, yanks, 'zed' is an inner joke to a fellow Canuck)

mistermoe

I almost bought mine from hunt club but I didn't like the way they we're negotiating so I bought a base one from 417 for 43.2k after everything..

havn't seen many 370's in ottawa yet though

prichardson

I regret not giving 417 a try, but Hunt Club is much more conveniently located. In the end, I was happy enough with the price. And now that I actually have the car any bitter taste from the dealership experience is fading quickly! That's a good price you got though. I hope you're enjoying it as much as me!

I haven't seen many either. I've seen one black one that's been tricked out a bit. Looks like it's been dropped and has custom wheels, very dark tint - is that you? I've seen a yellow, non-sport package a couple of times and when I picked mine up there was another CS.
