Hands Up all the Aussies

[peter]

that's nearly double the best year of the 370Z (745 cars)

whist still in a chip shortage and logistics nightmare.

I'm increasingly thinking I will have a MY24 car and probally a delivery in 24.

Maybe even a face-lifted version by then

 

[Ballast Scorcher]

Yep, this is a load of shit. No one believes they'll actually achieve such a target given the current conditions and previous production levels as @loudsx mentioned.

Sounds just like more fucking games to me.

Not to mention that even my own proto is looking like it's further delayed from Nissan's January timeframe offered at the start of November.

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a fucking duck.

Now if I can't get the car in the next six months.... what else can I buy?

 

[loudsx]

So honestly I’m not stressed.
When the car arrives it arrives.

some real world comms would be nice however as I have my eye on another bad car choice and if it will be 2024 I’m keen to pull trigger on that and have some more stupid car experiences.

so that’s the thing

let’s say you want a manual rwd coupe sub 100k

you basically have

a z 12+ months wait
A mustang so with the new model that’s now much more than 12 months wait.
A BRZ and put up with much less power

or go 2nd hand which is a suckers market right now.

and thus I'm not stressed about wait asi prefer that than in USA paying way over retail.

M240i xDrive which will arrive in six months but it's going up to $114k, not a problem price wise but the finance has increased!

I think the Supra just sneaks in under 100k if you pick the GT grade. Apparently an Aussie over on the SupraMKV forums has been allocated a batch number for the 6MT too.

All in all not a great time to be buying a car, but like you said, not much to do except wait.

 

[Ballast Scorcher]

Yeah, agreed, go the Supra. Stretch ya budget to 110k or so and go new. Think they're going for around that price.

 

[Grug]

My cut off will be end of financial year to have the car in my hands

Me too

 

[cainen]

I'm surprised they've even delivered 84. Doesn't feel like it.

R32 GT-R ??

83 cars delivered…what total BS….probably including demos in that

 

[morgand]

TBH, it's not just the Z with Nissan. As a company they have some liquidity issues and OEM's don't get paid until cars are delivered. There are some manufacturers who will be limited supply to markets that have longer turn around times, be that through logistics or local practices. Softening of the Japanese domestic market certainly does not help with these types of vehicles.

Ranger Raptor.. you can't argue with the practicality.
