Thanks. I have seen two more are coming to the Houston area. Funny, getting excited about getting 2 cars for the fourth largest city in the US. Still haven't seen red, except for a couple that came to the east coast and Canada.

It’s sad the new Z is still In such short supply. Even sadder when getting a sports car in true red is next to impossible. :(

It’s getting so frustrating, every time one pops up in the southeast I reach out. 10k, 20k, 25k over MSRP. Will these ever be attainable?

Big bump this week. A good influx of Zs.

Updated with data collected on June 16th (compared to June 9th).

Using the zip codes in this V2 area covered map here's a spreadsheet that shows the inventory within the circles (more or less):

Inventory Spreadsheet

The number of cars in the area covered increased from 109 to 194 (+85 cars).
  • removed: 19
  • added: 104
  • highest serial number: 312105

Yes, I had a dealer call me today about a Z that had just arrived. Unfortunately, it’s not in a color of interest.

My local dealer just called me a few minutes ago - same story.

Weirdly, though, he said it was a different color than the one I had seen (and still is) on the Nissan inventory page that is scheduled to arrive there in the next few days.

@Zplz and @Georges1, I think you are both looking for red, right? That seems to be a ghost car.

@TKAZ, maybe they did a dealer swap and Nissan's database doesn't know about it? I don't really know how that would work.

Good to see the influx of new Z's. Everyone benefits. I believe this will help alot of potential buyers final get their long awaited car. As long as the flow Z's keep coming, it will help most dealers to come off some crazy ADM. Win/Win

Passion Red is my first choice but, yeah, it looks to be dead, at least for 2023. I hope this changes for 2024. It just boggles my mind there is no true red for a sports car. It’s like not being able to get a Camry in a neutral color. “Sorry, sir. The Camry is only available in hot, flaming red.”
:rolleyes:

Not sure if this Red Z is still available. But happen to see it on a search if anyone is interested. You might be able to negotiate the ADM down, Seems alittle high.

Used with 9 miles? Must have been purchased to flip.

Thx. It’s in Connecticut but worth a try & is still on their website. There was one for sale in the Northeast awhile back. I agree, it was bought to flip. I plan to call & see what they say about both availability & price.

i heard back from the dealership in CT about the red Z. They are holding to $65,299 + “Dealer Fees“. I’m not Interested at that price, but thought I would post the dealers reply. I wonder how much the Dealer Fees are. Sad to see this happening with big markups. If they come back with another price, I will post it.

The moment they come back with a reasonable price, it'll get sold fast.
You can see how strong the demand is for the relatively rare red.....
