Dealer called!
Been browsin' for awhile, decided to post something today.
Was at my cuz performance shop yesterday, told hime about the Z i was ordering (Le Mans touring - everything except NAV), told me i should order Track instead. Called my dealer, he said cut off was Monday? could not change my order.
Went to work today, dealer called me back said that NNA called to confirm all 24 of his pre-orders! If I wanted to change it, i had til 5:00 pm Pacific to do so.
Long story short (too late!) changes my order, he called me back and said he faxed to NNA and was confirming new price MSRP + tax + License.
Sooo, got a Le Mans track with everything except side bags & mud guards.
Question? Is my dealer on something or did he really do this?

Crack rock . . .
Sounds like he is on something to me. Mine said it was way too late, and that other people had attempted to change their orders and were now going to be delayed over a month over what everyone else is getting. I added floor mats and the kick plates to mine after the fact, but my dealer is going to just order the parts after and just charge me what I would have paid to have them installed at the factory, but he said they won't show up until about 2 weeks after I get my Z.

On Tuesday 6/18, I asked my dealer's sales guy to add Nav to my preorder and also asked for the latest delivery info.
He called back today, Thursday, and stated "I called corporate and talked to the Rep. The Rep added Nav and the "system" took the add". Those were the sales guy's exact words. He went on to say the Rep was not able to guarantee the car would be built with Nav, but the system accepted the change. The sales guy has been a straight shooter so far but does not seem to have a lot of inside info regarding the pre-order program.
Anyway...ordered the car on 2/19. Today, the sales guy said my (wife's) car along with the 20 other 350Zs they pre-sold are scheduled for July production which means August delivery. He said he does not have exact dates but would call me when they become available.

an informed sales person (isn't that an oxymoron) previously posted that changes could be made until the production of your car started or was scheduled. If you ordered late enough, or for some reason you were farther back in the queue, they can change it. Monday was the cutoff for preordering in general.

Maybe I'm just cynical but it seems to me like dealers will work hard to get your order changed if your changes cause the price to go up (increasing their commission)... BUT if you try to drop anything...the dealers just say your SOL...impossible to do changes.
