This one I gave to my nephew.

he played with it whist here then forgot to pack. So I inherited it.

just like my weird Lego collection.
It’s for me not for profit.

so yes the car I payed 2$ for that is now listed for 55$ on Amazon got opened.

So, just got an email from my dealer….excitedly opened it, only to find this.
I haven’t even had confirmation of a car yet, and they are informing me about their “finance options”
I mean hopefully it’s a good sign….but come on confirm I have a car before this shit
I should say the link also contains information for paint protection, interior protection, car repair, extended warranty…none with pricing of course ?

Just out of interest, is Nissan currently offering competitive financing?
i actually have no idea….because when you click the link it gives you a number of different finance options, product disclosures, credit guide, privacy conditions,…everything other than the actual rate.
So how do I consider anything anyway? Pretty ridiculous

Their rates are pretty competitive, they are all personal rates now, so depends very much on your credit score etc.

The good deal with most OEM's at the moment is the Future Value programs. So you effectively only make repayments on the difference between purchase and future value. With the current crazy market, it means you can reduce weekly repayments and in most instances if you pick a popular and unavailable car it get close to free to drive. :)

Some of the options on the Nissan USA site are actually reasonably priced, I like the interior door scuff protection and interior rear view mirror that can open the garage door.
I doubt we will be offered these in Aus, may have to source from the US.
I be over there in 3 weeks might go to a dealer to see whats available.

As a dealer, and as mine has not replied.
Why would the dealership send out such an email if there is no car to offer?
Do you see this as a sign that it’s getting close??
Or a tactic to keep interest?
Or just the dealer getting prepared?

I did respond as I’m open to financing depending on what it is..I would only be doing a small amount as I already have most of it saved.
I did take the opportunity to ask if this was a sign, but no reply as yet ??

Z Car Club of NSW's annual meet.

Never will my future Z be driven on a dirt track, sorry but I'm a bit fanatical about the cleanliness of my cars and potential to avoid stone chips

Nice, one of my all-time favourite destinations. Highly recommend exploring Big Island.
you wouldn't believe the number of times i've been, one of my favourite places also, have been going since 1984. With my daughter working for Qantas have been going even more frequently.
