Hands Up all the Aussies

[Kaito]

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.

Hey jpw, apologies for late reply, I've been overseas so I haven't been able to get back to you. I actually was potentially interested in this however my dealership has just informed me that my car is expecting delivery around the 20th Oct. So much for Q1 2024.

Best of luck with selling!

Picked it up yet @Bert ?

G’day @Mud, pick up tomorrow, locked it in this arvo, can’t wait ?

Thanks for your reply. Hope you enjoy your car. If anyone else is interested, I am now down to $77k.

curious was this a cancelled order that you got to snap up.

or your actual order?


guessing from the time shift it’s a canceled one.

I don't think it's a cancelled order as it's a MY24 (unless someone cancelled their MY24 order?)
Also small update: Car arrived earlier than expected from port so am picking it up early next week.

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.

Which state are you in?

Did your car arrive earlier or later than the state time in the contract?

Yen (my misses) picks up her Z next week. Dealer called up on Friday... it arrived at the dealership that arvo.

We got pretty lucky - it's a MY23 so they kept it at $79k new, drive-away for us. Threw in darkest legal and mats too.

I am in Queensland - and there was no stated time on the contract. Not relevant now anyway.

After I waited 2.5 years - and then forcing me to buy the car, my Gold Coast dealer would not even include floor matts - let alone tint.

That is a fair wait...

I just double checked the updated contract, ours is actually $78,395 drive-away. Glad they were honest and kept it at the my23 pricing, which after the July LCT threshold increase, made the brand new price a few grand cheaper. They didn't even try and be dodge...

Is it worth getting some sort of an immobiliser for the Z? In addition to what ever “security” the car has…

 

[drunkntigr]

So I'm guessing if dealer hasn't called me by now, next batch is probably going to arrive next year and they're going to try and charge me more for it?

Just going to cancel the order and just buy a demo

Also, got an email on Thursday. My car is on a boat, arrives into Freo next month and should have it by first week if not just before Dec 1st-ish.

Hi mate. Why buy a demo - which may have been hammered? There are plenty of private cars for sale - including my blue manual Coupe on the Gold Coast which I will now sell for $77k. It has only got 47kms on the odometer! This is effectively a brand new car - 2023 model too.

Do this. Fuck the dealers
