NissanZClub Markup Thread

[takemorepills]

I doubt it will end soon. Maybe 2 years out for things to settle . Once prices go up they never really come down Take my Corvette C8 waiting list for example. I waited almost a year and a half to get it and when I took delivery the dealer told me his list was now 3 years out. Just crazy stuff!

Totally agree, no less than 2 years

Not gonna flip it @trackrstZ! Flippers Piss me off??! My C8 won’t be flipped either. Paid MSRP for it. And yes I drive and am gonna drive this Z. It’s sad to me when peeps just let them sit …they were made to enjoy in this life!

Awesome glad to hear, driven like it’s supposed to. Enjoy and keep us updated on your upgrades.

This is why I might as well wait and pay for the Nismo, hope it won’t disappoint.

I got the call from my salesperson at my dealership that my Proto Spec Z is in production this month and should be delivered by Mid September. $500 deposit in and 10k non negotiable ADM. so I guess I’m gonna pay it. Reluctantly! Will the 240 proto’s be numbered I’m wondering?? Can I tell by my VIN # shown here??

Congrats! I would have def considered the 10k markup so don't feel cheated by it and enjoy the ride

The only reason I’m willing to pay 10k markup is the fact that I am a serous Z fan. I spent 6 years building my 71 240z restomod and I have a 90 300zx. Need the New Z for the stable to complete the package! I have never paid over MSRP till now. A few pics for all the Z fans out there?

Nice 240Z, but I'm also impressed with your garage workspace. A lift and all. I spent this past weekend trying to organize my garage workspace, still a bloody mess but getting there.

Thanks @indio22 ..I always clean up and organize after each work period Garage rules

Just talked to my Salesguy at local Nissan Dealership and he informed me that his dealership is getting just (1) (My order)Proto spec and nothing else for the foreseeable future. This dealership is the largest multi-location Nissan Dealer in Indiana too. Not good news for Nissan Z fans!

consider yourself fortunate then...

so only 240 being made, minus executives, dealers/flippers, their friends and family reserving one...say half to two thirds left. that's 120 to 160 split for 50 states, so basically about 2-3 per state.

i may be being pessimistic, but it's the world we live in...

i dunno there is literally nothing special in proto spec unfortunately. its like a "unique skin" in a videogame, pretty much useless. they could do at least one real unique detail.. like bigger turbos or unique wheels or bumper lips, but theres nothing apart of higher price?

After I paid my deposit my final price populated per salesperson. OMG. 65k for a Z seems insane! What else could I buy for that amount? Is it worth it?? Thoughts?

Wow, low taxes.

Even if we can get a Z at MSRP, our 11% sales tax would put us in the mid-60's for a Z Performance

7% sales tax in Indiana...among the lower taxes in the US And we have 6.1 Billion surplus in the bank

$65k is fucking laughable. In 1-2 years when these are being sold used for under $45k. I'll be waiting. ?

Thats almost 13k more than I paid for my Supra out the door....

19k more than my 21 I am not even sure if I have 19 in the tracks mods

Hopefully, once all the initial crazy-ness dies down and Nissan actually starts making them more than 100 at a time the prices will come back to a "normal"

I want to see them on the track. But i can't imagine someone paying this premium and then putting another XX$ in track mods- at that point you are waaaaay over a 1LE and right in the middle of a BUNCH of really good new and used track cars.
