2012s have already hit the ground in some places, so hopefully you can be one of us soon :)

Yes, I'm looking forward to it. :yum:

My dealer says that all the recent waves of post tsunami cars they have gotten have arrived 1-2 weeks ahead of the scheduled date. He thinks Nissan is pushing their advertising campaign thing with "having more cars than Honda & Toyota available" by trying to speed up the delivery process. I guess we'll see, and I'll be sure to report it here for others who have cars coming also.

For now I'm still practicing.....:eekdance:

Yes I did, in my mind. ;)

Until you actually get to sleep with Angelina Jolie, you've got to use your mind. The only difference here is that I've got a chance with my car, even if it's just going up and down the highway. :eek:

I wonder why we ordered at approximately the same time, yet it looks like you'll get yours 3 months ahead of me? Slip them some extra cash? :)

I'm guessing it has something to do with dealer allocation (as in mine didn't have any right away!).

Yes, the allocation thing is a whole big story unto itself. Luckily my dealer used the Nissan Distribution "back door method" and got to order one for me. Otherwise I'd still be waiting because no dealer yet has gotten back with me saying they got a standard actual Nissan allocation. I know my dealer has not for sure.

Are you SURE your dealer has ACTUALLY ordered it yet? Some dealers go through all this B.S. with lies just have you hooked until they get an actual allocation.

From what I can tell, not all dealers even know about ordering it direct, so you might want to ask that too.

Update & More Tracking Info
 
I have some more information on all this, and an update about my car.

First the car, I'm through customs and am not in what they call land transit!!!! Wheeehoo!!! So my car is probably either on a train or on a truck and on it's way East. Shaky shaky boom boom!!!!! :happydance:

Now, here's some info so you can persuade your dealer to help you along the journey. I'm not sure how often dealers either can get or can print it, but I'd guess at least once a week. It's a dot matrix print out that allows them to track the specific cars on their way to the dealership. My guess it's something they can print whenever they want just to see updates.

Contained on that sheet is some coded information regarding all the cars they are getting. It's got the model #, the VIN#, the color, the trim, the dealer order#, the estimated delivery date, and codes for the ship status. Here is a list of the codes that will help you track your car along the way.

INP = In Process
PBY = In Pre Bay
INT = Sea Transit
POE = Port of Entry
LIT = Land Transit
SHP = Shipped / Billed


Translated AS To What I Think It Means
INP = In Process = Order taken / car being built
PBY = In Pre Bay = Built and ready to be shipped
INT = Sea Transit = On the boat in the Pacific
POE = Port of Entry = In California
LIT = Land Transit = On a train or truck on it's way
SHP = Shipped / Billed = Delivered to dealer / final destination

As of 10/11 my car was INT, or on the boat. As of today, my dealer just e-mailed me and my car is LIT, or on a train or truck. This is awesome, because it means I'm through customs and all that garbage. He said he expected the car before the 11/18 scheduled date, so we'll see if he's right.

But oh yeah, it looks like I've just got a few more weeks to go!!!! :excited:

Got to keep practicing!!! :eekdance:
