I really hope it's not because this forum, myself included, would lose their minds if that happens.

March 3rd and still havent heard any information directly from nissan since august. Let that sink in ?

I like their marking strategy..yet another dealer looking to not charge stupid mark ups.

But I hate that date.
When Nissan Aus opened their books it said release date August, and when I saw that I thought…that better be worst case scenario.
Now even that’s gone, replaced with ”arrival 2022”
I was hoping early orders would be August and the rest a bit later when I saw the change, but at this rate I think we are going to be lucky to even see it this year.

I know I sound like a broken record, and I know there are challenges that they don’t normally have….but come on Nissan keep people who have given you money up to date. Even if it’s to say it won’t be available to August/ September we would appreciate the openness and honesty more than the guessing game, and your losing more and more buyers just because you refuse to send us an email once a month with updates …really bad launch strategy

Don't know how official this is, but found this as I was looking for Nissan dealers in Cali...

Yeah. My definition of crazy markup and their definition of crazy markup may not jibe...

But maybe I'm the crazy one here.

lol suddenlyguy tells u 5 k is not a crazy markup

Don’t think the advert is from the same dealer offering a “reasonable” 5k
people should give them a call, ask them what’s on offer…can’t hurt

LOL at their "no crazy dealer markup" only to go to the store and see $9,999 market adjustment.

For me a thing is, how long the COVID hangover is dragging out. In terms of vehicles, I'm reading estimates of years for vehicle chip production and other stuff. People on multi year waiting lists for some vehicles. I feel sometimes, there is a "new norm", where it's more ok to simply not have things work so well.

I'm getting kind of resigned to the reality of having fun with my current vehicles, and checking back in a few years, to see if vehicle availability finally recovers. Taking solace in the fact I happened to buy 3 vehicles just prior to the full blown COVID era, so I'm not in the unfortunate position as some folks who desperately need a vehicle.

I'm just not getting a good overall vibe of things working well again for a while.

Yeah I picked a hell of a time to buy a new car lol. At this point if I can't get the Z during summer time...I'm just going to go elsewhere.

I'm going to try to be patient, there are few other potentially good competing cars coming out that I'm considering. The new redesigned Honda Civic Type R, Ford Mustang GT, and potentially a MT for the Supra, to name a few. Good things come to those who wait and I'm not paying dealer markups.

 

[Bobcat]

Right Dotson. I'm betting they won't have 0% financing for 72 months like I have now either.

In the middle of last year, I got 0.9% 60 mo. from Nissan on a 2022 Pathfinder MSRP +$500 cashback. I think I got a little bit lucky considering the supply chain issues. Regardless, I won't pay a markup on any new vehicle. I'm not that desperate. Having to pay MSRP is painful enough.
Another thing that concerns me is the climbing gas prices. Premium fuel is pushing near $4 a gal around me. I wouldn't want a brand new sports car that costs a fortune to drive.
It will be interesting to see how this Ukraine/Russia conflict pans out. I read a news article that said that even if the US started ramping up oil production, it would take 18 mo. - 24 mo. before it has an effect on prices at the pump. And what if the current administration isn't in a big hurry to increase oil production because they see it as an opportunity to prevent sales of more ICE vehicles. There is some significant uncertainty in the world right now that makes me a bit cautious.

This would not surprise me at all. So much misinformation on the web.

Agreed! That's why I stick to major news networks for the REAL facts!

I chuckled at you complaining about 4 dollars a gallon and fortune to drive ?. 4 dollars usd a gallon would b 127 a litre in canada. Guess what were at 2 dollars a litre! 127 is a god damn steal.

Dang! and ironically Canada supplies the US with 50% of the fuel we consume. You guys need to have a serious talk with your prime minister.. lol

$2/litre for regular, not even premium.
