S Florida: factory order and Nav system

Mambomn · 09-16-2013, 04:14 PM

Daflabear, thanks for the input and glad to hear that you got a good deal at Wallace Nissan. If you don't mind, can I ask if you paid near invoice for your car and if there was a dealer processing/document fee added? Also, if you have a contact person at Wallace, please PM the details so that I can email my request. Wallace Nissan is about 90 miles from me so it's doable provided I get a good deal on my order.

The plan is to contact three area dealers and see which one has the best deal for a factory order. I will be moving to a house with a garage in December so I actually prefer to wait until then to receive the car (don't really want to park it in the street now with all the rain here in Miami).

i've been trolling this forum for a few years now and i have yet to hear anyone's NAV having issues. If anything were to break, i think maybe the lcd screen would go bad?? And the lcd screen is VERY easy to replace; so it would only be the cost of the screen for repair. Just my 2 cents.

I called a couple Nissans and found one with the exact 2013 Nismo I was looking for already on its way to the states. I also got a good deal on it so it was worth waiting 1.5-2 months. Normal delivery will be 3 months or so from order but you would be better off to drive a couple hours to a Nissan that has one in stock or will be on its way in.

They ship right into FL jacksonville so you may be able to see if a dealer can snag one from another dealer before it ships out.

Yes, I ended doing a factory order as the MB color with the options I wanted was not available locally. In any case, I got a good deal (invoice) though the trade off is waiting until December to receive the car. Well, at least it will be a great Christmas present to myself. Also, it will give me some time to save up for the necessary accessories>>>clear bra, aftermarket navigation, and front and rearview cameras for added protection.

I suppose it doesn't matter now that Mambomn has ordered from the factory, but before doing a factory order have your dealer check the dealer network and see if another dealer has what you want. That's MANY times faster than ordering from the factory.

The dealer did do a check of local inventory, but could not locate the car with the desired options. In any case, as I will be in and out of town for the next few months it's actually more convenient to wait to take delivery until December. Also, I wanted to get a brand new, never road tested car, so this was the only sure way. Yes, waiting three months is not the ideal situation, but for me it will be worth it.

How did you find this? I am looking to purchase a new one, yet am having a hard time finding the one i want. I live in FL and can grab one quick from Jacksonville. The dealer i been working with is a complete dumbass... Thanks!
