Hands Up all the Aussies

[West Aussie]

if anyone wants to jump the queue and pick one up

This is a coupe…why is it marked up 7K..l.and with 7K km on it
Someone needs to tell the dealer this is not the US
And again…how are they getting away with this when no yellow coupes have been delivered to customers yet?‍

Nah I’d say probably the demo…times up, think they can sell them now
But still a hard pass

 

[loudsx]

actually I got curious

googled nissan Z auto australia and sorted by news
this poped up.
https://www.drive.com.au/reviews/2023-nissan-z-coupe-review-australian-first-drive/

so there was a yellow auto press car with rego CBW877

now from vic roads.

sure enough with now cancelled rego

then looking at the ad,

Both with a VIN of

JN1GBAZ34A0200039


so yes 100% an ex press car.

EDIT: missed the screen shot from article.

imagine paying 8K over sticker for what has to be the most thrashed one in the country..

Friends paretns got a ex fleet For falcon ute back in the day. (mid 90's)

what ford did not disclose was this one was ex press fleet not ex staff owned like they portayed them as.

Ford ended up buying back the car as they could not keep up with the warranty claims, this thing was jsut thrashed to death.

No way…first of all the first ones had transmission issues…even the autos
Then they have been absolutely hammered, that is the whole point of a press car …to hit them as hard as you can and see what happens

Wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole.
Anyone who buys is sure to have issues sooner rather than later in my opinion

I agree. This thing has has done most of its 7000km getting from 0-100 in 5 seconds or less.

from here
https://www.whichcar.com.au/reviews/2023-nissan-z-review-australian-first-drive

old rego of CBW882
so VIN of
JN1GBAZ34A0200072

which matches the listing on their page

And who would even want a yellow car that is not a Proto?

I did!
I didn’t see the point of a proto..not knocking anyone who did, just didn’t myself….mainly because I didn’t like the wheels, so the cost wasn’t worth it for me.
At present the yellow coupe is rarer than the yellow proto

 

[loudsx]

I was in a similar boat

hard to choose between blue and yellow.

and was not planning on keeping stock wheels so why proto.

till I saw a proto and the wheels and now.

regrets.

But not enough to change from my blue order.

I think the Proto"s bronze wheels would look amazing on the blue Performance/Coupe.

Talked to dealer today, no news, cars that he had previously offered are not even built or shipped.
On the plus side he said by the time it arrives it will be cheaper because I'll qualify for pensioner rego by then
