Hands Up all the Aussies

[ZZ2022]

So if there are lots of people like yourself and @peter Nissan will have a lot of inventory floating around if they have ordered based on what was placed
I didn’t do that, because even though the deposit is refundable it could take a month to be processed, plus my deposit was 5k

Yeah i wouldnt have done it either if it was 5k deposits. I did one at 1K and 2 at 500

Possible Aus Spec sighting!

i'd say keep an eye on this key information for you guys https://autocj.co.jp/japan_shipping?dest=7

again speculation on which cars are on shipment but it lines up with all the production cars being spotted in may getting sent out.

Thank you! I'll put some time in later to figure out which shipping company Nissan uses ?

If correct then my guess is follow the movements of the courageous ace car carrier, this seems to service the east coast. Does anyone know what port does nissan despatches from in Japan.

if you hit other regions such as North america and look under company name there is nissan vessels. my guess is that the oceania region for you guys if expecting in july will be updated soon

LCT threshold increased for 22-23 financial year.

So if they don’t lower the price a bit we got room to ask for those free mats!
Sorry one tracked mind??

So someone on Facebook, noticed this change
From “reserve your z” to “join the queue, does this mean it’s sold out?….and is this an admission they will definitely be delivering in order of dates pre ordered…who knows?

It kind of looks that way. Kind of reads as "sold out" to me. Since you can no longer officially reserve online, it looks like they have a set number in their system some how for production numbers/timing of what they can handle. Maybe once the reserved ones are built/shipped, parts allocated they can open a second reservation window, or dealer stock items.

All of this just really makes me wish Nissan was a bit more transparent with the logistics of pre-orders vs dealer pre-orders vs reservations online vs "name on a list".

*Edit* The other thing I am thinking is I kind of feel bad for the general population that is highly interested in the car after seeing it all over social media. Nissan just keeps saying, available summer, omg summer, coming soon! So when these guys go into their dealerships to get one this summer (already June) they're going to be told what? Sorry, all the initial batches for production were actually sold out reservations, so you'll have to wait until next year at the earliest ? I mean, summer availability may be only for the ones who did get a pre-order in, or reservation, chances of getting one off the lot I don't think it's going to happen this year. Unless you come across a cancelled pre-order that shipped, or maybe they are allocating some for dealer floors.. but, then what was the point of the very early preorders or reservations ?

It's fairly self explanatory.

Yes and no.
In Australia they haven’t advertised at all other than a few Facebook posts and being on their Nissan Australia page…not like the US with the super bowl or t.v advertising …nothing of that sort
It reads to me as they are sold out as well, but there are many who will pull out, or ordered multiple times …and that means there will be cars available if they are not waiting for updated confirmation paperwork. This means the general public will still perhaps be able to get one, but maybe not the exact specs that they want unlike those who ordered early.

This is my take, of course I could be completely wrong …I often am

I didn’t even read that far down ?

EDIT, now I see…had to actually click on the queue button to see the message…didn’t go that far

Haha read the fine print, that's very self explanatory

This is sounds like they are indeed building to order as @jezzza dealer has said
