Yeah, I found that interesting. 608 at least already. Are VINs not normally issued until actually produced? Or can the number be pre-allocated? I'm not 100% sure how it works on their end. But, maybe it could be built already

 

[MCN1SMO]

good question. im not totally sure I think it could appear right before its built once its actually scheduled. I know other manufacturers work that way

 

[MCN1SMO]

for example my NISMO has a September production but it hasnt been scheduled yet and the dealer just has a ordrer # but no VIN.

Which if allocated before production, if it's early sept, you should get the VIN soon hopefully, then its real !

JN1BZ4AH8RM360796 is the highest then, that is a scheduled sport trim coming to a dealership near me

 

[MCN1SMO]

higher than I thought so far but the switch over in production I "believe" was sometime in June so its well underway

That's crazy, almost 1k for 2024 already.. maybe they've finally got shit rolling. A little more clarity on the 23' pre orders/reservations and the switch over to 24' would be awesome...

Like the boulder grey car my dealer just got allocated for 24MY.. like.. this would be the second or third wave of randomly generated cars allocated to dealerships before orders or reservations?

I'm just happy my dealer called me to offer me the car first, since there's still no word of anything on that order they placed for me in Jan of 22'. Part of me is wondering since it was a dealer placed order through the system and not a "reservation" on the website, maybe Nissan figured well we couldn't give you the car you ordered in that configuration in January, but here's some random Z's instead?

So, so far my dealership of a small town has received one demo, a second allocation black Z, they bought a blue one to flip, and now they've been allocated a 24MY which they've kindly asked if I want my name attached.

But. Still no word from probably the thousands who entered the online reservation system with Nissan Canada. Except for maybe one or two guys who said they've had an email. I wonder if this is a communication problem between Nissan Canada and their global counterparts.. maybe they realized it was too hard to build to order and ship to specific dealerships for that many cars off the bat?

Still curious as to what is going on. If only I was a fly on the wall for some of those internal meetings

 

[jc604]

if they had shit rolling we would be allocated cars already, but we're not so until then, this is just nothing to me. and majority of the cars about 85% of them will be going to USA

Meh, overpriced and overrated. I’d rather have my performance and upgrade parts. Nismo prices are hilarious for what it is. You can get better quality parts then nismo

Difference is NISMOs are limited edition trims and hold more value, whereas a standard Z with mods will typically decrease its value.

Though you could probably make the same argument against any OEM performance trim (save for those with significant chassis mods and/or different powertrains).

All depends on what’s important to the buyer. Exclusivity and good performance that’s fully insurable & warrantable off the lot? Or maximum performance per dollar? Both valid criteria for sports car purchases.

any new z is pretty much rare. I can sell my performance modified z now and still be ahead of the game.
