Over 90 day order time - Dealer telling the truth?

scorpion90 · 04-18-2009, 07:40 PM

Gave my dealer a down payment of 2k on 1/17 with the discussion for the car to be delivered late March or early April. On March 8, I got a confirmation call that the proper configuration was to be built that I had ordered. On Friday 4/17 my dealer let me know that he has a VIN# and the car is "on the water" to the US. He said it takes one and a half to two weeks to clear port and then is loaded on truck to the dealer. He thought I would get mine around the middle to late May. A little later than I wanted, but I guess not bad considering economic situation and Nissan cutbacks. Needless to say, I have been sitting on pins and needles and am getting pretty excited. Maybe I'm getting more for my money this way with the slow build up to receiving it.
