Why are there no 2010 Z's at the dealer?
 

Considering getting the Z. Did a quick search of Z's on the lot at two dealerships in south jersey. Noticed a ton of 2009 but hardly any 2010!

What's going on?

NJ is a seasonal state, they'll be out soon

This, the dealers will probably have some roadsters (I don't know why they got the roadsters in the winter, makes no sense) but no coupes. Coupes will probably be coming later this month or may.

Roadsters came out as 2010 models... so I think it's the same as the left over 2009 coupes...

You will be able to find some 40th's, as those were produced in one run, if your willing to pay a little extra...

from what i hear they will be hitting the dealerships in large numbers in may.

Mid May you will see a ton!

But what to do with the ton of 2009s still sitting there?

The '09 Zs will sit on their lot till someone purchase them...

That makes sense that we are a seasonal state. I was afraid they were holding shippments of 2010's to the dealers until they sold all the 09's

I know there are still a lot of '09s available in a lot of places but it is interesting to look at the trims that are left. Most of the '09s I see are auto transmissions and of those, most are either base or touring + sport. It seems pretty likely to me that base + sport + MT was by far the most popular combo in '09 as you pretty much aren't seeing those left anywhere. I wonder if Nissan has a set number of each combo they manufacture or they looked at what combo sold the most in '09 and if that has any influence as to how many of each combo they will manufacture for the '10s?

I know my dealer won't be ordering any blue ones based on the trouble they have had selling the blue 09s

Well if they can't sell the 09's why would they order 10's?! The only change is a cabin filter, so I wouldn't be so quick to disregard the 09's. Do you really want to pay 3k just for a cabin filter?

Since I'm looking for an Auto (no flames..i'll get my suit) with touring, maybe I should try to get a deal on an '09?

Any idea on what an '09 will go for this far into 2010??

The 2010s will be out in 2 weeks up here. Mine are almost all spoken for, but send me a PM to let me know what you want!!!!

I have to say all the cars I looked at lately are NEVER on the lots (Jeep SRT8, Corvette, 370Z...they either have NONE of ONE)

Makes it hard to look at these type of cars if they don't even have them IN stock.

No flames here, its a great trans that why I have one! Unless you are in desperate need of heated side view mirrors there have been no major changes to the 2010s. You should be able to get an 09 WELL below invoice.

I would guess 2k behind invoice at best.

WAY TO UNPREDICTABLE....by me theyve got a 247 day old 09 red 370z, but its base. they sold their other one last week....just something that could sell at any moment. i know the dealer by me has their last 09 like 3 grand under invoice or something. crazy...dealers are really wanting to get rid of those 09's

Wow thats good to know.

Appreciate the suggestions to use the sponsor dealer from Queens, but I'm down in South Jesey outside of Philly, so would like to keep it local.

Do we have any dealer sponsors from South Jersey? Didn't notice any when I last looked.

ya unfortuanetly, here in oklahoma....all the people think ford and chevy make the best cars...so were over run in mustangs and camaros...i rarely see any 370z's

I have a forum member coming from WV next wek for a 2010. He's 7 hours away, you are much closer!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PM me if you'd like, I can even just help tell you who has what so you can try to stay local!

Thanks. I'll let you know when I'm ready!

Where abouts in South Jersey are you?

They will order some 10s even if they have a buncha 9s becase if they decline allocations the rep may overlook that dealership the next time it's time to get a shipment. It's good to just take the cars that are given to you in some cases because if you need something bad the rep can pull more strings for you. Another example sometimes you have to take cars you don't particularly want to get the models you do want. Let's say altimas are in short supply just for ***** and giggles. They may say take 5 zs and I'll give you 10 altimas..

Cherry Hill area.

Anyone have a recomendation for a South Jersey dealer?

:iagree:

dude you are not kidding!!!!

before i bought the 370 i spent months looking for a jeep srt8

had to factory order one which took 3 1/2 months to come in

then i traded it in for a 370 but the black 6 speed was nowhere to be found

my dealer had to take one from a lot over 200 miles away!

I know it might be a bit of a drive but Flemington Nissan might have what you are looking for

get ya a 40th, you'll love it, promise!

The nav system in the '10 models is upgraded from the '09's also. As far as I could tell, the main differences between the '09's and '10's are:
-heated mirrors
-navigation system (higher-res screen, Zagat guide, weather, etc)
-in-cabin microfilter
-USB iPod connector vs. proprietary iPod connector

How much has the base price gone up for 2010? Someone said 3K??

Yep mid may. My buddy at the nissan dealer found like 8 red 6-spd coupes spt on there way over from Japan. A couple were on there way to jersey... but ones on its way to LI woot woot

I just received my first non-anniversary 2010 coupe today! it's a red 6 speed sport package! Who wants it???

i noticed down here in South FL no one has cars either. I want to get a white base+spt 6spd...so i hope theres a few coming soon!

whats wrong with the 2009s?

Me!
