How to search for a Z

[bpeckham]

Posted about this in my thread but if you see a Z you like, dont be afraid to call back multiple times. I had a few dealers give me completely different numbers on different days. Some were drastically different too.

It sucks that the worst part of the Z is the buying process.

Not much good news Z shoppers. Only 109 cars in all of the US?

Updated with data collected on June 9th (compared to June 2nd).

Using the zip codes in this V2 area covered map here's a spreadsheet that shows the inventory within the circles (more or less):

The number of cars in the area covered decreased from 125 to 109 (-16 cars).

• removed: 17
• added: 1
• highest serial number: 311800 (unchanged)

I hope not, but seems like it.

I just scanned all the old data, and 311040, which showed up this week also showed up on April 26 and May 1 (but not other weeks), same dealer each time. Not sure what's up with that. Dealer took it off the market and then back on? Dunno.

Yeah sorting by manual transmission is even worse. It's like 29 cars nationwide and they are probably the ones all sitting at 30-50k over. The ones that absolutely would not budge on their price.

Imagine paying tens of thousands over MSRP for a car with a crappy rear view camera.

Well, after almost seven months, two new Zs have shown up at San Diego area dealers, and one of them is a 2023 with VIN JN1BZ4BH0PM311815, so now we've seen a more than 1800. I'll run the spreadsheet again tomorrow, and hope this is a national trend and not just a local aberration.
