Need your advice

I was told by my dealer that car would come in sometime in October. I sold my car mid-September in anticipation for October delivery. Once October approached I was told november. Now that November is here I am being told December. What do you all feel I should squeeze this dealer for- in other words get some discount or freebies? I am getting the custom two-tone leather put in- maybe I should ask for a reduced price?

Any comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated

ares is a bit pessimistic...

I feel your frustration, but I will agree that the dealer probably wont cough up anything.

However, in december, you might be able to find one on the lot somewhere, then maybe you *could* negotiate both dealers for a little tiny discount (good luck!)

well he wouldnt be the first. tho I guess its possible, I didnt preorder, but I did haggle with the dealer to give me a car off the lot for MSRP.... not a great accomplisment, but better than paying a grand over.

its just wierd that the dealer would give you such a incorrect delivery date. or one at all if he had no clue. I would bet alot that its not nissan thats changing your delivery date, you dealers just playing games.

how about a loaner while you wait for your delayed car! A friend ordered an E46 M3 recently in anticipation of the lease end on his current car. the car came in but with the wrong color interior so they had to reorder another one for him. they gave him a loaner while he waited on the reordered car.

btw, what is the excuse they are givng you for the car being so delayed??? i would walk away from that deal actually..it's not like the 350Z has alot of options where it's hard to find one spec'd the way you want. i found mine thru nissanusa.com by checking dealer inventory.
