My order was formally placed on 1/25 and was submitted with the Feb '05 orders. I was just given a ship date and vin# yesterday. Delivery is scheduled for 4/8, in two weeks.

So it sounds like you don't get the VIN # and ship date until about 2-3 weeks BEFORE you get the car, not 2-3 weeks AFTER you order it. Silly dealership. 
Wow, so your order only took about two months? What'd you order?

I actually negotiated the deal and left a deposit in Nov '04. But, I didn't want to take delivery until the snowy season was over. Since both the dealer and I also didn't want to have the car sitting on the lot for an extended period of time (for obvious reasons), the order was placed at a strategically appropriate time.

The Z still has to be orderered from Japan? I figured by now there would be ample Zs of all models on dealer lots. It took me 3 months after order to get mine. Ordered in 4/04

I ordered my 35th Ann. car on Jan. 18th. The paperwork that came form Nissan vehicle details says the order date was 3/1/05 with an ETA of 05/05. Not sure of when in May it will arrive or why it wasn't ordered sooner.

I didn't want to order and wait. I have now clocked 3000 miles after 2 weeks with the Z.
Paid full MSRP though.

Armitage,
I was told by the dealer sometime in Feb that Nissan was stopping production of the Z for 30 days. He didn't know what the stoppage was about but it put me back a month. Thats why it didn't get ordered with Nissan until March 1st. I was kind of bumbed on that one but not much I could do.

Why would orders stop due to low sales? 
Seems like it would be the other way around (orders would stop if you were selling a lot and couldn't keep up).
