Monterey Blue Discontinued?
 

I'm new here but looking for a new 2011 Z!

I spoke with a dealer in VA (northern VA) and they told me that Nissan is cancelled the 370Z in Monterey Blue. Obviously they tried to sell me on a car they had in stock.

Is there any truth to this? I really want a Z in BLUE!!!

Anybody know how/dealer that can place an order for a Z? This dealer told me they can only see 1.5 months out on allocation and there appears to be no blues.

according to my information they discontinued the yellow, check the nissan web site they still offer the MB as one of the colors on the web site, so i think they are bluffing.

I was skeptical considering this isn't the "most popular" time to buy Z, maybe they just cant get one now and want to make the sale now though.

thank god... that color was ugly anyway... :stirthepot:


i dont think its discontinued. A few years ago when i went to buy my altima, the guy at this one dealer tried telling me that the 'convenience' package was discontinued because that's what i wanted and he didn't have it.

That dealer is full of sh*t, unless he means they're discontinuing it for 2012, in which case I dunno. But 2011's come in blue.

C. Yellow was a special color but canceled after 2009. Black Cherry was the next special color, but it stuck around and they discontinued Platinum Graphite. Gun Metal is the new special color.

mmmmm.... cherry.......

Isn't Gun Metal just a slightly darker version of Platinum Graphite? Also the 40th gray was also a special edition color. A guy at a Nissan dealership once told me I could get the 40th gray color on a non-40th Z. I told him it was only for the special edition, but he said it wasn't. I asked for a Z in that color only to be told 20 mins later that it was not available in that color. I have yet to meet a salesman at a dealership that knew more about the car that I was looking at than I did. I wouldn't believe what that guy told you.

the salesman at the dealership told me the Z had runflats when i asked to see the spare in the trunk...

Then i showed him the spare in the trunk, and he was like. 'oh.'

haha, I had a dealer tell me that he wouldn't consider a Genesis Coupe because it was only in its first production year in 2010. Meanwhile, the Z was better solely because it was in its second production year in 2010? lollerz?

Oh, and Monterey Blue still shows as a color for the 2011 models. I just went to their main website and began to build my 2011 model and sure enough, Monterey Blue is a color choice.

I was told the headlights were the 'steering' kind like my Lincoln! I corrected them. lol

A little off topic, but so far there have only been 2 limited colors right?

• yellow which cost 200 more
• 40th
• GM simply replaces PG
• Does the black cherry cost an extra 200 since it is still around for 2011?

Technically, there have been 3.

Chicane Yellow cost additional in '09.
Cherry cost additional last year.
40th cost extra, but as part of a package.

No colors cost extra for 2011.

Unrelated to OP, a salesman told me Base + Sports Pkg was not an available option. When we started talking prices he had to ask me what MSRP and Invoice were on the car.

Oh hell no....

oh wait... tony you have a montery blue? i had no idea! you have any mods planned?

Yes you can get the blue at least for the rest of 2011.

Black Cherries unitin', son!

But yeah, your dealer is BSing you.

:tiphat:

Mod's? You can modify this car? Mine came exactly the way it is now......:roflpuke2:

The Chicane yellow for the 09 Z was 500.00 extra per the factory sticker.

Just went by our local dealership the other day on the way home and they had a blue one sittin in the lot lol. They still call me enough cause they know im ready to buy but in stall mode now till I give the gf her ring, she would rage if i pulled up in a Z without her wearing a ring.

...and they wonder why people despise car salesman and the whole dealership experience so much.

They will say anything to get you to buy what they have in stock. Except for Panda Lou.
