Hands Up all the Aussies

[Ballast Scorcher]

Come on…at those prices you could have taken all three home ?

Only three orders hey….I’m willing to be they had many more before this joke of a roll out started, and your dealership is not the only one.
Nissan Osborne Park moved out of their digs around six months now…operating out of a much smaller, older crappier yard. Supposed to be relocating again into a new premise, but the location where they are supposed to be rebuilding has had 0 movement

Interesting times

Hmm operating out of a smaller crappier yard with a new premises being built.. yep, sounds about right.

Not only is Midland Nissan working out of a carpark with a few dongas, but they are supposedly moving into Carco's shed at the end of the year.

Few similarities between the dealerships, that's for sure. The delays in getting these Halo cars out into the market is certainly playing a role in strangling nissan dealerships, I reckon.

My JDM revhead daughter has decided she wants to learn manual (she's already on open automatic)
We've just gone for a strap in the 370 and ended up at the port of Brisbane.
We came around this side to see if we could see any JDM grey imports and she gasps " A Z! I'm not even joking"

A quick u turn later and....

Likely more demos but at least a few more cars

This is positive…let’s hope it’s a start to the trickle, and it is a trickle ( I see around 5 here)….here in WA no news as yet

EDIT we have the Freedom Ace due in on the 10th and the Prime Ace due on the 23rd of Jan.
I’d be pretty disappointed if there are no Zs on at least the later ship

 

[jdm-rhd]

guess who just picked one up?

 

[Ballast Scorcher]

Broke as fuck and here he is getting his old boy to stump up some coin for a second fucking sports car?!

Pro tip to the dude; go get a fucking job, pay your own way and stop mooching off the parentals for unnecessary purchases.

Guys, it's been a long journey but I've decided to buy something else. I couldn't simply wait an indefinite amount of time...bearing in mind, I put in my order Aug-21.

I've still got my allocation still as I'm still deciding what to do with it. But hey, if anyone wants a red manual coupe (based in NSW) let me know lol.

Completely understandable…I’m just so frustrated ATM.
I can’t believe Nissan Aus still push us back onto the dealers instead of doing what a head office is designed to do and manage their pre ordered in an orderly and open fashion

Biggest disappointment

Agree.

My daughter has wanted a Suzuki Jimny for a while, apparently it's a Jimny thing , and so finally went into a dealer on the weekend.

Whilst a hotly demanded vehicle, originally with up to 24 months wait, they've been dropped in other RHD markets this year due to emissions etc.

They were able to tell her when her choice of colour and options is going to arrive with some certainty. Suzuki sends out build allocation slots on a monthly basis to dealers, which was normal practice for most. Lands in July, so only a 6 month wait.

Admittedly they are pretty low tech vehicles so probably fewer resourcing issues.

But again…it’s nit so much about the wait and resources, but the difference in communication

The ship that dropped these off is due into Port Kembla on the 10th, local Wollongong dealer is expecting a grey demo, their other lot at Albion Park has a blue manual demo for anyone in the area.

They're certainly arriving. I'm very surprised that no Coupe customer's here have had the call yet..

Saw a YouTube clip yesterday that showed a Canadian dealer getting delivery of a Proto, it was delivered to them on the 24th Dec. Nissan did not call to tell them it was comming, the delivery driver did.

Happened with my dealership. They had an Everest white performance dropped off on the 24th, completely out of surprise. Was their allocated demo car. The pre orders they were put into the system (mine included) at the tail end of January 2022 are still big question marks haha

They will be, by the time I have my BRZ, that is all.

 

[West Aussie]

Sooooo, just came here to say. Called my dealer for any updates as I’m seriously jumping ship.

Guess what…she left
So anyone on the forum dealing with Mia from Osborne Park…give them a call because she has gone.
So I am now on my 4th yes 4th salesman

He tells me he can’t promise but the car is in the system as a March delivery
Again…he said I can’t promise, it’s just what is presently In the system so don’t take my word for it.

I guess if that’s the case the ship due in on the 23rd of Jan could well be carrying some Zs.
God evrytime I think I’m out and ready to buy something else…they reel me back in ?
