Are the Enthusiat model in shortage? I called several dealerships in town and they all have at the most 2 enthusiast model in stock and over 10 touring models. There seems to be a shortage of enthusiast models and hard for me to find the color and options I want. Anybody experienced this?

 

nope, not in ca....

 

Not in the NE. I did a dealer search yesterday for an '05 Performance in a 100 mile radius in DB and only found two... but there were LOTS of Enthusiasts and Touring models to be had.

 

hey future z owner...which dealership did you buy your Z from? I'm looking for a Z enthu in nor. cal too. How much did you pay for yours?

 

well i got my z for 29,000 (with all the nice accessories), which i think i got ripp off... but hey you gotta love the z, got my z off san leandro nissan.

 

I'd defer to someone with hard facts but I could see a shortage of Enthusiast models because it is the best buy and, I'm guessing, the best seller.

 

Nope, there is no shortage in the south central region of the US from the search I just did

 

no shortage in jersey

 

Thats the way it was in my area. My dealer had 10 tourings, 1 performance, and 1 enthusiast. Of those, only 1 was a 6 speed. I had to get them to go to Louisiana to get my Enthusiast 6 speed.

 

no theres soo many enthusiast in SO cal.

 

Thanks for the info...but was $29,000 out the door or $29,000 plus fees and tax? I have two weeks left before i have enough money to even start thinking about buying one.

 

I would guess 29g + TTL. I checked several other dealers and there is definately a shortage of the manual enthusiast. Most dealerships only has one and some has none. I also found a lot of automatics on their lots. This is really pissing me off. The Z is not a limited production vehicle and I am having a hard time finding one that meets my specs. Which is basically any color except redlind and yellow with manual tranny. I only found one dealership and they are 50 miles away.

 

Imagine how hard for me it was to find a fully loaded SuperBlack Track. What a nightmare. Glad she's in the garage now though.

 

the enthusiast is a popular model but with the amount of z's that are being produced, i doubt that there is a shortage

 

yupp i got my z for 29,000 plus tax and dmv fees, which all comes out to 32,000... I also find that it was pretty hard to get a hold of the yellow z with 6spd, cause most of the lots that i went to had mostly auto... good luck with your search.

 

for enthusiast that is.

 

Thanks...hopfully they'll still have 04s laying around their lots in two weeks. I really can't afford to pay MSRP on the 05s. So if they have any 04s left, I can basically live with any color. i will like to get CS or Lemans tho.

 

why most ppl chose enthusiast over performance?

 

I choose Enthusiast over Performance cause:

I planned on 19" wheels
I hate the idea of TCS, and VDC is even worse

 

no sales tax either
