Hands Up all the Aussies

[West Aussie]

you have no need to be nervous, you'd have been one of the first with a deposit down.

Doesn’t mean they will get a yellow non proto manual….and if they are not offering what else they get allocated, you just never know….especially in WA were we seem to be forgotten about half the time ( not that I blame anyone for that …except maybe our current premier ??)

But thanks for the boost ?

My estimates puts me around number 600 fingers crossed I’ll get before Xmas

May I ask how you came to your estimate? Hoping your right that’s around 6 per dealership

Had further chats with the dealers today. After first shipment they're expecting deliveries each month with every car delivered being spec'd as ordered. Each dealership will request cars in order of deposits paid. No one will be jumping the queue, not even for demo cars until all preorders are fulfilled.

That's pretty good news!
Which dealer, if I can ask?

Bartons in Wynnum. Said they currently have around 15 orders in. Who did you order through?

Keema at Mt Gravatt.
Adrian's been great to deal with, but same as every other dealership- no news from Nissan. Hopefully that all changes next week ?

Very exciting, hopefully in a couple of months we can do a convoy up O'Reilly's & Lamington.

If these leaked prices are correct then I am not sure what to do about my Proto order as it is higher than I want it to be as $80k was my hard limit and it is over that without on road costs.

It is hard to justify that much money for this car given that it is essentially a modernized 370Z.

The only factors that may sway me to go through with it is seeing how demand for it is and knowing that I won't lose any money if I decide to sell it shortly after getting it due to not liking the car or for emergency financial reasons etc.

Other factors that will play into my decision is the covid second hand market and knowing that buying something second hand now with inflated prices will depreciate much more once the market eventually settles down, so potentially the Z is a better option than that as it is new and has warranty etc.

Now the agonizing yo-yoing between getting the car and not getting it will begin lol.

Hell yes, I'm so keen!

Mt Nebo can be our local cruise area provided I actually get the car ?

Bit far for me to join in….but I’ll be with you in spirit ?

I meant roughly my preorder list number there was about 400 or so at the end of last year paid a deposit and I was in January so I’m guessing

It’s gonna be 90k on road I reckon, I’m glad I went non proto
In this market you won’t lose money I wouldn’t think, but given interest rates rising and cars slowly starting to filter back in…how long that lasts for is anyones guess.
l would only get it if you want it, and are going to enjoy it
anything else is a risk…a low risk, but a risk all the same
