Hands Up all the Aussies

[jpw]

Hey all, long time lurker here.
Ordered June 2022 for a Manual Blue. Was fortunate to test drive a manual one too in August 2022.
Got an unfortunate call from the dealership today, delivery pushed back to Q1 2024 (with an extra 2.5k price increase for MY24).

Hello Kaito. Just saw your post. My blue manual coupe is still for sale. I am now down to $78k. 2023 model with 45kms on the odometer. New condition on the Gold Coast. Add transfer duty and it will still be a lot cheaper than the 2024 model you are waiting for.

Still no interest? I am a little confused. Why are people waiting months for a car? Is getting finance on a private vehicle the issue? I guess that could be it. Otherwise I don't get it. In Qld the stamp duty on my $78k car is $2730 - so a QLD buyer can be driving this new car away immediately for a total of $80,730. New car to order from a dealer (and waiting) is $83-$84k - so $2k - $3k more!

Just curious, why are you selling?

Hi Honwong. I bought something else while waiting 2.5 years for the Z. The Z then arrived a bit unexpectedly and the dealer would not let me back out of the deal without forfeiting my deposit and charging me penalty fees.

Stopped by the dealer today to check on any more info on my Nismo...nup but will email/call me tomorrow when the principal is back in. Apparently I'm the only one there with a Nismo order.
Sidenote they did have these 2 just sitting there.

They still have a new Proto? ?

Would appear so ?‍, cancelled order maybe?
Could be waiting for delivery though wouldn't be keen on my car just sitting under the carport lol.
Was Nissan Springwood QLD if anyone's looking

Just reaching out to ask if anyone can recommend a good company in WA that installs either a Graphene or Ceramic coat? Picking up my proto on 25th, and was interested in any good recommendations and what I would be looking at price wise?

 

[Monza]

Would be interested in this as well

Supposedly my wife's Z is due to arrive at the dealership on the 17th of this month... and we managed to score a my23 instead of a my24

Decided it was time. Pick it up this week. First time I got to see the red/black interior in person and as I suspected it’s a much deeper, richer colour than the images portray?

It ranges a bit depending on the shop and the coating used, but I'd expect 1000-1500 based on the quotes I got. I used https://www.perthdetailingcentre.com.au/ when I had my Supra coated and got PPF on the front and I thought they were a good choice.

When car finally arrives will get ceramic coating have had some quotes and will either be Zen Auto in Arncliffe or Tint Haus in Thornleigh, happy with their package prices including tinting

Hi, did you end up getting it ceramic coated and roughly how much was it?

I got Graphene coated, car ,glass and wheel, ceramic window tint and the interior done at Tint Haus, total was $1900.
They did an excellent job, took about 7hours, lifetime warranty

Picked it up yet @Bert ?
