Dealers Lying Or Has Nissan Put A Hold On Production

did you guys have to put down a deposit for the 370z? or were the dealers willing to order them without the deposit?

Depends on the dealer really. The dealer i went through was nice enough to tell me not to give them a deposit since they didn't know if they were going to be able to order my Z back when i first ordered it. they of course were able to order it, but when i asked them again if they needed a deposit they still told me that i didnt need to put a deposit down.

P.S.

Every dealer I have spoken to wants a deposit. Nothing less than $1000, and as high as $2000.

Again though, I am not giving them a dime until I know they have an actual allocation.

Absolutely! I can see how committing one of their allocated slots for free would be unwise, but for them to take money just to put you on a list where it costs them nothing and has ZERO potential to cost them anything is just slimey.

Dealership I'm working with has asked for a $1000 fully refundable deposit once they are able to order the 2012s.

Also make sure you get your deposit refund conditions in writing along with a fully receipt.

My experience has been similar with Fontana.
