Hello Ladies and Gentleman,

I have officially secured my Z! Paper is all done and now waiting for delivery via enclosed trailer to my house within 2 weeks time.

As some of you may know me over the past year or so. During our 1 week limited pre order (before it went online nationwide) on January 29th of 2021 I preordered one yellow Z performance in auto transmission in a local dealer here in Toronto. I was apparently 1st on the list. As months went by I kept in touch for updates but nothing. Fast forward to December 30th, got the news Nissan surprised every dealer in Canada with one random Z. My dealer for the Proto but wasn’t selling it and heard dealers have a choice to sell or keep it till spring then go down their list.

Now, my dealer where I preordered said they have an order number but no VIN or update.

I searched all over Ontario to see if they got a yellow performance one but either it was a proto or different color or wasn’t sold. However, I found one near a small town near Ottawa (4.5 hours drive one way from my house) they had it and had zero pre orders. But had one guy who was interested but financing didn’t go through, I jumped on it! It arrived December 28th and sales guy was nice enough to share the video of the delivery in middle of a snow storm lol.

I immediately got my shit together and started paper work. Went to my original and got my $1000 back. Paper work, financing and insurance took about 2 weeks as I had get that all organized. Gave them a deposit and now it’s official!

I asked why nobody preordered at his location. He said it’s a small town of 30,000 people and snows a lot and people really don’t drive 2 door sports cars here. Moral of the story, if you live in province/state with snowy weather, go find a dealer in the smallest town:)

I could’ve waited for my original dealer till spring/summer. But I didn’t wanna wait and let them delay me again! As I didn’t wanna drive this car in the winter. I may have had time and wait but not letting summer run by and don’t have my ride.

Some may know I was very frustrated with the delays like most people. I was even debating to get a used C7 2019 but 3-6 months prices for used cars were crazy! Plus, who knows what a used c7 been through. They had low kms and didn’t know if it was tampered with. That’s why I hate used cars. Can’t know the total history of the car. So, I waited and good thing I did!

Sorry for the long story, but wanted to share my experience.

I already ordered Michelin PS4S and tints in the spring time. Then slowly do other mods.

Can’t wait to share my experiences with you all.

Thank you! You will get yours soon! Yes, it’s definitely exciting times. However, won’t drive it till May. So, it will be a tease sitting in my driveway. But at least I can look at her and have a chat with couple of beers

@Go2ZZZ Would you mind posting a few interior pic? Interested to see how it compares to the Proto Spec.

Congratulations!

As much of a cynic as I am about the Z rollout, I'm very happy to hear when another member scores their Z!

I know you'll be enjoying it!
