This pisses me off! I visited this dealer almost a year ago to be put on the Z waitlist. I was told at the time that I'm the second person on the list. Now apparently they have two cars and nobody has contacted me...

What's even worse is my wife's last two Rogues were purchased from there, so I'm an established customer (or so I thought).
Ugh, sorry to hear. Try giving her a call then and see what's up? Wonder if the salesperson you were working with left and didn't relay the message, or it never got input into system.

It seems like most of the Sports I've seen for sale are auto ?

time to raise a ruckus and threaten to give them a bad review and never do business with them again unless you get it under msrp...

I had to run errands in Athens today, so I stopped by this dealer. The salesman I normally work with was there and told me; no, they haven't received any Z's yet. In addition, he has received no information from the Nissan allocator as to when they might be getting any. Supposedly I'm still #2 on the list.

I have previously purchased from him and he knows I'm serious about buying the Z, so I don't know why he would feed me incorrect information. I do know there are no Z's in the showroom or anywhere on the lot I could see.

I asked about ADM, but according to him, that decision wouldn't be made until cars actually arrive.

That's nuts. Sorry to cause unnecessary stress on your end about what I was told from them.

Interesting tactic re: ADM upon arrival, too. Wonder if their thought process is - benchmark against how other Z's are selling across the country, at what price, how other models at dealership are selling, interest rates, etc.?

No worries about the stress. I actually just had shoulder surgery a few weeks ago on my shiftin' arm, so I can't buy anything now even if they did have cars. I have seen a pre-production Proto, but I really want to see a production car.

It is curious how two employees have different information, though.

If I had to guess on the ADM, the decision has already been made by management, just not communicated to the sales staff until they actually have cars to sell.

Dealers can do whatever they want with any Z on ADMs right now, they hold all the cards. But I wonder which trims are more or less in demand what people are asking for - Performance auto, Performance manual, Sport auto, Sport manual, color? Wonder if a spreadsheet is useful to track these, with current known ADMs.

I really want a new Z but I will never pay ADM on one, or any car for that matter. The dealerships could just fuck right off.
