I would ask why the increase, also when I talked to customer service in Melbourne today they confirmed that the loyalty discount has been renewed for owners of nissan vehiclesPrice on website is almost bang on what they quoted originally (79k plus change)
New contract says
$80970 driveaway

Did you change colour? Or postcode?Price on website is almost bang on what they quoted originally (79k plus change)

$80970 driveaway
If not ask why not …advertised at the price they should deliver at that price @jezzza this is the one upside I can see to doing updated paperwork, price is locked so even though you have resisted it might be worth doing

So just saw this on Facebook from another poster …not me (maybe one of you guys incognito)
But very strange.
What do you all think?

It's also posted on this site, read the article and as it states that Australian production won't be affected didn't give it much thought.
However with all the conflicting information we get this will probably be another excuse for delivery delays.

Really..I didn’t see it here, been falling behind as I have a new job which requires me to actually work?
I agree with you . I noticed it states that Nissan Aus says our allotment is not delayed. But not Nissan Direct.
At this stage I don’t hold out much hope.
However the other way to look at this is it says they are halting orders in Japan from July to build for pre existing orders
So …could they mean that even in Japan orders up to July will be honoured, but they just won’t accept anymore for a while?
Either way I have lost all faith in the information we are receiving. If it doesn’t have a VIN it means nothing
Likewise, to me it reads that preorder allocation is exhausted in Japan as it has been here for sometime.
Am I misunderstanding something?

Not really, I was just questioning if we can actually trust that pre orders will come through if they have cut orders in Japan arguably a place they usually service first
I mean all article still say they are coming “mid2022” they got about 5-6 weeks for that to happen…as yet no one has a VIN

I have heard a rumour that there are 46 Proto spec cars en route to Melbourne and should be docking tomorrow or the day after on a ship called the Bergamot.
These cars are already allocated and people that have a contract will be receiving their cars very shortly. I did ask how many protos were allocated and the dealer could not confirm, I still don't have a VIN but have completed all paperwork and have requested a vin so I can get insurance sorted out.
I am guessing it will take a week to get these cars to dealerships and another week for pre delivery so if it is indeed true, the first protos should be on the road by about the 8th August.
FWIW my driveaway price on the contract is $86,955.47
I am going to ring shannons and get a quote now. It might pay to do the ring around and start the insurance process with the impending deliveries. I'm off to clean out the garage and order a car cover

Honestly this has to be the crappiest roll out in history, for my mind they totally f@#ked it up.
At no stage were people told that the proto delivery would be different to the coupes…this could have been enough for me to chose a proto over a coupe.
The total utter lack of credible information is a joke
That’s my weekly rant done …although it’s getting to a point where it is becoming daily ?

God I hope you are right…but still not a single person who ordered a coupe has been contacted yet, so I doubt it.
I was hopeful when @jezzza dealer said they were allocating coupes last week…even kept the faith that they were half way through at the end of last week and perhaps we had to wait for all to be completed to hear more …but it’s now Thursday, almost at the end of the week, and still nothing.
I can’t say it’s looking good …to be honest it’s actually really demoralising.
Nissan should check out all the social media pages, and different forums, on every single one people are giving up and buying something else
They have handled this so badly.
Also begs the question why only 46 Protos? Would say @Ballast Scorcher get his manual ( instead of settling for auto) if he waited for a second drop…or is there really no second drop coming
