Hands Up all the Aussies

[West Aussie]

cant wait to see what the insurance on these will be

wont be pretty and it may even be hard to get insurance at all initially. I know the Peugeot was tricky, I’m the end only two insurance companies offered to protect it, and one was completely unreasonable. Went with RAC which was almost $1000 difference ?
So that will be my starting point when looking into this

I’m trying to ascertain if that’s the Proto or performance price as the article had been taken down by the time I saw it.

Article said Coupe $73,300, Proto $80,700.

Yes..I wrote that text before the new article popped up, the old one was deleted before we could see it …you’ve missed a lot today @jezzza ?

just found this on Nissan Japan website, some nice accessories to order

Just converted those prices to AUD... Ouch.

Floor mats $550
Boot liner $270
Cargo cover $600
Door sills $650

Yeah…that’s not happening …that’s ridiculous

If it is $80k or nearly $80k I am not sure I want to get one. Might wait for reviews, if they are largely positive I may get it, otherwise I might consider a used BMW m 2. I am reluctant to spend $80k on this particular car sight unseen, and being unsure of how it is like on the road. It has an old chassis with an old engine after all, but it does look pretty.

We are at Nissan HQ today, getting a sneak peek at the new Z before it arrives in mid-22. We will confirm pricing next week!

Couldn't quite see the speakers in the doors to see what they've put in, hoping we still get the Bose set.

One thing about allocations.
Car Expert says over 1000 people have already put their money down.
Given there are only 91 Nissan dealers in Australia, that would mean every dealer would need to get around 11 cars to fill everyone’s orders…thats not gonna happen, at least not in the first deliveries.
I reckon we will be lucky to get half of that

There will be a lot of disappointed people out there that’s for sure, and I’m not sure why Nissan would not be warning new deposits that it’s going to be a bit of a wait, as it’s only going to annoy those who miss out more…after all they took the money easy enough.

I’m still nervous as to if I’ll get a car and I put my money down a year ago, and am the first on my dealerships list ….next few weeks is going to be interesting ?

Article I read reckoned everyone that put a deposit down will get an allocation

Which article is that? Because the one I just read said that the Nissan representative still said there are supply issues and they still don’t know 100% what allocations they are getting. Even my dealer seemed to think they would only be getting single digits cars initially ….I hope your right

“Assuming most of those who placed deposits follow through, you can expect some pretty lengthy wait times. Mr Paterson did not comment when asked for some detail on the supply situation, specifically around how many months or even years of supply 1000 units represented.”

Yes they'll get an allocation eventually but 1000 Zs won't be leaving the docks at once.

you have no need to be nervous, you'd have been one of the first with a deposit down.
