Hands Up all the Aussies

[MattJ2020]

I saw one of these this morning… and got to sit in it…

now I believe my mind is set on the new Z (rather then the new ‘22 BMW M240i)

 

[jezzza]

Our dealer had this event a few weeks ago now….I don’t see why this should take away from the Zs delivery

I couldn't agree any more but this is what Nissan Au is telling their dealerships.

Having z’s in show rooms would only help matters

so think it is more they just don’t have cars.

and run out x trail to date this year equal entire 370z sales in what 13 years.

The roadshow has been going on for a while, local dealer claims the delays were caused by the overbooking of the Proto, they had to contact everyone who did get a car, await the decision then move onto everyone who didnt and offer the option of a coupe, but still in the original booking order

For sure but that doesn't explain why demonstration vehicles which have landed are yet to make their way to dealerships. Perhaps they can't fit the demo and roadshow in the shop!

Hit my dealer up today as I was meant to be taking delivery mid-September and this is the guts of the email right here:


"Your vehicle is currently in production and should be on a boat either late this month or early next month and all things going to plan we should have that ready to go for late October.

I know this is not the exact timeline we initially discussed however Nissan have advised there have been some minor delays in the first allocation so this has impacted your vehicle"

So yeah, looking like it'll be over the year mark from me placing my hard earned on the table. Be closer to 13-14 months in my case I'm thinking.

Its getting closer but fuck me fucking dead, so is bloody Christmas!

Deep breaths, deep breaths

 

[jezzza]

Deep breaths, deep breaths

So they're saying at least another 8ish weeks and that's for an early allocated Proto! I'm sceptical we'll see any of our Coupes this year.

I know that most of us have come to the conclusion that dealers are in the dark and nothing's their fault but has anyone else's dealer advised them of these minor delays?

Yeah mate, that's about the gist of it and to an extent, I do sympathise with the dealers, but ive been in business myself and I certainly didn't take paying customers for granted. This is a transaction first and foremost and it shouldn't take the lot of us dropping a line in and having a fish to get a fucking update that is a further delay of 2 months if not longer.

This is the exact shit people are fed up with. As soon as there's some new update in relation to the damn vehicle, email that shit out. I'm not in any rush for the vehicle per-se, but that 5k I put down entitles me to a fucking handful of emails throughout the course of this transaction is what I'm thinking.

Who knows why the other lad has his proto on the water and mine still being made though. This ordering system is whack.

Feel for you coupe lot. Its looking like that much longer if a wait...at least we'll have a MY23 build date though, i guess

Anyhow, I need a drink before I fly out tomorrow.

 

[MattJ2020]

I don’t see the problem…

You ordered a car that was launched in 2021… no one had dates, no info.

I’d be grateful for now even knowing when the car will be built, imported and ready to be picked up!

Hey?

I did know when the car will be built and ready for pick up - it was mid September. Now, the car has not been built abd will not be ready to pick up in that time frame. That's the damn issue.

I've certainly got nothing to be grateful for, this is a damn sale. A transaction. Neither party should feel grateful for the other in this exchange IMO.

That's our point, delays are expected but we get told shit about fuck.

Excuse the language.

Ha, @jezzza is fired up! It's been a slow boil, but here we are. You know shit ain't right when jezza is getting short! Nissan, get this man his car ASAP!

 

[MattJ2020]

bah!

Maybe your dealer is mistaken, and it IS on the boat already
As you say it dosent make much sense that one has confirmation of the VIN and it’s on its way, and yours is yet to be built.
OR as we spoke about before, maybe because they squeezed a bit bigger allocation of the Proto out, your build is in fact the second not first build …I’m not trying to make excuses, you know me and how frustrated I am. I’m just trying to figure out what’s going on.
Nothing really makes any sense….this being one thing, but things like shipping half a dozen cars for the media and more than likely paying premium to do so due to the small amount, when they could wait 2 months and ship them all out and save money.
Also continued advertising everywhere..even on the back of a bus FFS when the cars are not here and they have orders for a year in advance is also a very questionable way to spend money for a financially struggling company if you ask me.
Said it before, I’ll say it again…I reckon they need a mum in head office to kick some butts and make rational financial decisions

I see in Nissans Facebook page that it’s not unique to the Z, with people who have had orders for the Qashqai and a number of other models placing orders a year ago and also becoming increasing frustrated.

Really all we want is some communication….thing is, unless you want a Mazda, Hyundai, or Impreza the wait fr everything else is going to be at least 9 months..lso at this stage we are stuck between a rock and a hard place

I have a sneaky suspicion that @MattJ2020 is a dealer…and not a nice helpful one like @morgand , but one here to try and keep us calm.
It’s not working
