Hands Up all the Aussies

[Ballast Scorcher]

Haha nah I work for the shipping company that moves cars / freight between tas and Victoria so it's not too bad! But yeah the month off is nice! Two and two would be good but I'm too used to the bigger break now!

Ha, fucking hell mate, you should be the one giving ya nissan dealership the timeframe! ?

I've already played the card once before when they tryed to sting me $$$ silly amount for delivery. Nah mate I'll grab it in Vic and bring it across myself. Magically dropped the freight price ??‍?

It's really concerning that dealerships are getting Coupe allocation confirmation before customers. If there are going to be further delivery delays they need to advice us now.

Yeah…really not too happy about it either…a lot of people on this forum knew about the Z before the dealers did and have been teaching them about it…not the other way around.

If it’s happening in Tassie, it sure as heck will be happening mainland.
Seriously, a rural dealership that hasn’t sold a 370z over customers who have put their money down is pretty poor form in my opinion (but you guys know that already ?)

The timelines all seem to line up and let's be serious if tassie is getting this info were the last to know / be thought of ?

Spoke to my dealer today (NSW). He's a decent bloke and has been pretty upfront with me. Who knows if this is true, but thought i'd share as more information is better than none IMO.

- Total Batch #1 for Australia is 500 cars (probably delivered over a few weeks given what we've seen so far)
- 170 Protos bound for Australia (they've got 6 allocated to customers through their dealership)
- 330 Coupes remain

Now that Nissan's finish the Protos, they'll begin allocating Coupe's based on Dealer submissions to them. Process will apparently be the same as the Protos i.e. eventually we'll get an email from Nissan once allocated.

Dealers will get Demo stock during this time (end Aug/Early Sept) so customers can test drive (I suspect this is part of the 330 Coupe allocation to Australia).

In summary, it's getting closer!

Less 50 dealer demo's leaves 280 cars for customers?

Just for s&$ts and giggles I emailed my dealer re demos.

they missed out on first batch. Getting one later.

being they have 2 nissan dealerships that’s 2 less demos.

 

[peter]

At the rate they are going I estimate a more realistic time frame for me will be December.
My next dealer call will be 2nd Sep for any type of update and possible demo drive when available

Amethyst Ace is in Port Kembla after stopping in Port Moresby.
Doesn't look like it went to Brisbane?

Brisbane is a congested port so often ships will bypass and go direct to Port Kembla, with the cars unloaded and picked up and returned to Brisbane by another ship, or same ship on return...

As much as we all dislike the demo allocation, some won't blindly throw down the cash without a test drive.

Enough for the first allocation would
