Hands Up all the Aussies

[West Aussie]

We have a Victorian registered Coupé spotted in Melbourne.

That’s my car a dealer has absconded ?
But…it’s registered…so not a dealer? As they would have dealer plates?
Must be for media?

 

[loudsx]

100% we will be seeing these media cars for next 2 weeks.


those with pre orders I would be be on the phone to my dealer at 9am 2nd Sept

 

[loudsx]

So now off some calls had a chance to do some looking.

first off compliance plate says a build date of this month and rego on 11th of Aug so damn that was a fast shipping/customs.

that's a great thing for others as shows cars won't be sitting for months in import docks.

and interestingly looking at the VIN compared to the proto that was here earlier
JN1GBAZ34A0200039
JN1GBAZ34A0200023

only 16 between them.

Also being this is very diffrent to the VIN's listed for USA cars I wonder if that A indicated AU build numbers?

which also has me wondering if this is a Aug build car then not many are built yet.


but also means and I know this could be important for some, that the first 120-180 build are not proto's there coupes as well.

hmm ordering parts for a vehicle you don't yet own and are unsure of delivery date ... that's dedication. Hopefully it all works out.

I figure that it's just a matter of time before we finally get the coupes, unlike the proto when you weren't even sure you'd get one.
I'm sure that those with pre orders before the cut off will get a car.

 

[loudsx]

ok checked vin on S14 and it has the market as A0 as well

so yeah that makes sense.

so as of start of Aug 39 cars built for AU market.

edit

so thats 16 cars in 3 months!

Forgot to mention, I've been down our port a few times with binoculars. If they're hiding any Zs there, they're doing it well.

 

[West Aussie]

Hope you are right @loudsx and they are making positive moves to get them out.
The VIN numbers are great, but it doesn’t tell us for sure how many have been made…reason being the earliest made cars could well go straight to media, there maybe a thousand more ( yes it’s an exaggeration) already built after this one…or there could be none.
@peter …indeed a matter of time, the question is will we be dead by that time ?

My dealer called today ( Tasmania) said they have a car eta to dealership 29 sept. Flagged as do not sell. Better not be blue and manual ?. Strikes me as strange for a dealership that hasn't sold a single 370 because its rural country

It's really concerning that dealerships are getting Coupe allocation confirmation before customers. If there are going to be further delivery delays they need to advice us now.

 

[Tassie Matt]

Much like eveyone man I check the thread daily and I think the lack of info is the worst bit. I don't really care when what how etc but somthing would be nice. I work FIFO so my assumption are a call one day saying hey it's here. And I'm out of the state for a month ?

 

[Ballast Scorcher]

Pretty much an october delivery.

I suppose down in tassie, the extra kilometres add up, but damn. That'd be a year since I put money down, and a year and a half or so for others.


ya'know, i reckon this wait is getting progressively harder just with the sheer amount of smack talk going on about the z and proto in particular.

I get this is the internet, but some of these days I'm thinking I've mistakenly gone onto the zupra boards, and not the Zs.

Anyhow. Sooner the car arrives, the better.

Shit dude, away for a month? I work 2 on, 2 off and that's bad enough, can't imagine a month. You work in the oil fields or something?

Haha nah I work for the shipping company that moves cars / freight between tas and Victoria so it's not too bad! But yeah the month off is nice! Two and two would be good but I'm too used to the bigger break now!
