Hands Up all the Aussies

[peter]

I would have thought these these car dealers would have had a draft email ready to go to all who had placed a deposit, informing them of the price ($73300) and what the on road costs would be.
Sadly most have been sitting idle instead of being pro active.
We as the buyers should not have to constantly
chase them up for updates.
I have contacted the two dealers I have orders with, the have said they will email me the details.

Osborne park have been shocking I’ve found always me contracting them like an eager kid

I honestly don’t think it’s their fault, my guy there is always happy to answer questions…to that end

My dealer responded saying they have still not heard anything officially from Nissan. He didn’t say he was annoyed…but the tone of the email suggested he may be…and who can blame him, here Nissan is splashing the news around to everyone except those that really matter. The dealers are probably getting hammered today and are no further in the know than us.

He did say….going by the price of 73000k that’s in the clips, that would put on road costs at around 7500 extra…but he did also say that the price mentioned in the clips did not say if it included luxury car tax or not, and if It didn’t that too would also need to be added, so in the end his final advice not knowing if this is or is not the case was.,.we just need to wait to hear from Nissan directly

So as you can see he tried his best to give me some idea, but whilst dealers are still in the dark there is not much they can do
I find this an appalling way to deal with the people that have to put up with customers calling them every two minutes and baring the brunt of people slowly getting more and more angry

See my reply…my dealer hasn’t even had information direct from Nissan yet…I actually feel sorry for them

These guys have had plenty of time to prepare, Nissan Australia are handling this poorly, I have worked in the steel industry for the last 38 years and whenever we had a new product launch the pricing was always in place before any product got released

Even Nissan Australia sending out an email wouldn't hurt. Letting bloody News Corp release info before customers who paid deposits over 12 months ago is appalling.

Agree, but I’m just saying at this point I don’t think it’s the dealers fault.
Take for instance my guy…why would he not tell me the price and choose to guesstimate prices based on the clips I sent him, Sure as heck he would have checked with the manager because he has a vested interest to let me know what’s happening and get me off his back.

This seems to be Nissan corporates doing, and I’m pretty appalled
Adress those that have given you money before worrying about press releases …without us you don’t have a company, and after this release I can totally see why as a company they are struggling.
Keeping dealers in the dark who are dealing directly with your customers, and then releasing things via media, making your dealers look like idiots is not the way to do business.
And that’s why I’m not upset with Osborne Park, because without the info there is little they can do

Exactly right. It's a profit driven business in a free market environment and we're paying customers whom are entitled to some semblance of good service. No sympathy from me.

Perhaps that's not completely true; I sympathise with the positive nissan find themselves in and want to support them by buying - or atleast attempting to buy - their products.

ChasingCars confirms BOSE audio system in this video.

Few points in this one…wireless charging station, that’s the first time that’s been said.
interior colours are nit finalised yet for Aus….so that doesn’t say very much in terms of delivery timelines

Think your misunderstanding me…I have no sympathy for Nissan corp…..only for the dealers that seem to be more in the dark than the media is…imagine working there and trying to deal with this cluster crap ( I’m a lady so won’t put the F word in but you get the idea )

Yeah, nah. At the very least the dealers can parrot the info the media already has. What's pissing people off is the deafening silence, I reckon. Can appreciate your different point of view though

Maybe…but my dealer wasn’t even aware of the media releases until I sent them to him….also what’s the point of telling us the 73300 when they don’t know what’s included in that price.
If they say it’s 73300 and 7500 onroad costs then find out that it doesn’t include luxury tax and the price goes up by 2k they will get hammered for that too….they can’t win
The fault lays squarely with Nissan Aus for not distributing information to their dealers so they can pass it onto us accurately
But like you…appreciate your perspective

$80,092/$87,862 driveaway. Seems like they're allowing us to spec the base with the red interior trim which is new news. No blue trim though.

Interesting…so they release it online but don’t tell dealers….this is crap
Have forwarded link to my dealer, interesting to see if anyone gets contacted now they can’t say they dint know
Did anyone read the fine print? This includes the max dealer delivery permitted, means it shouldn’t be more than this for anyone in NSW
