Over 90 day order time - Dealer telling the truth?

robtrink · 04-14-2009, 10:27 AM

Hows it going,

To make it short, I ordered my Z March 09, with a guaranteed arrival of 60 days so it could get here before my graduation. They have never really been in contact with me until I called the other day and a general sales lady talked to me. She said late June is when I could expect it which is over 90 days. I later called back my sales rep and he got to the bottom of it.

He said the car was ordered March 09, the day I gave them my down payment. However he said the color combo I wanted is on back order and is scheduled for a May 1st production date.

For those of you with this experience, once the car hits "production day" does that mean another 60-90 days? The sales rep said mid June is the earliest, with late June being the latest. To me it sounds like they forgot to order it, but that could be just because I really want to start drivin it haha.

Thanks,
rob

Did you get your VIN number?

I believe once you get your VIN, it means your car in production. Not sure how long it will take, but you should have a confirm date when the car will be here when you get your VIN.

what colour combo did you pick??

once you get that VIN # it should be built already.

I ordered mine February 2nd, dealer ordered and rec'd confirmation from Nissan on Feb 6th. I rec'd an email with the VIN number in early April - car is due here around the 29th of May. It's a much longer lead time than I was told from several of the dealers I shopped.

Wow that's some **** they are pulling on you bro...
If I were you I'd complain and get something out of this.
I HATE it when people talk the talk but cant walk the walk.
If I were you I'd wear a black mask and **** up the salesmen who sold the car to me at night.
But that's just me!

I got CS with Orange SP + N.

The dealer told me once they have the VIN, it means the car is being built so will know the ship date. (I might be wrong).

Ordered about 1 month ago, first they told me end of May early June.

After 2 weeks, they said late April.

Now back to end of May early June.

Wouldn't believe the date they are telling me, more concern about the VIN.

I ordered a fully loaded touring nav sport platinum graphite with the orange interior.

You have the same time frame and situation as me, let me know how it goes! the only difference is they dont email or call me, I have to call them! I would love them to e-mail me and update me on what is going on. He said he e-mailed nissan yesterday and is trying to get my VIN number and order number, I will let you know how it goes.

Remember everyone, Nissan is slowing down production of these cars due their sales forecasts being slashed. This is really going to hurt anyone with custom builds as the cycle time between models/colors will now be longer.

My thoughts all along. I'm just waiting patiently - sort of LOL.

nogoodname · 04-14-2009, 12:11 PM

it's to be expected, but if you got the VIN #....in writing i mean, not just the dealer saying they have it...that means it's coming soon

CrownR426 · 04-14-2009, 01:25 PM

That's ******** though...
I feel bad for our homie, they keep stalling on him.
Messed up.

lol now lets not get violent here...

if this happened to me i. the dealer would look like this

robtrink · 04-14-2009, 05:31 PM

thanks for all the support, i thought i might have been too demanding or sounding a little impatient. I mean, I really want to drive the car asap, it sucks having to wait, especially when we sat down the guy guaranteed me it would be here at maximum, 60 days, just before my graduation.

He never did call me back with a VIN today either

CrownR426 · 04-14-2009, 05:37 PM

What a douchebag...
If I were you I'd be furious bro!
I would've gone there ready for a fight seriously...
He basically lied infront of you and you parents.
Guarantee my ***. A real saleman I guess.
You should keep leaving him messages to make him scared though!
