The dealer told me today that there will be no more 2003's coming off the assembly line after June. Basically, I won't be able to get my Daytona Blue Base model until the 2004 model year comes off the line. Anyone know if this is true? If so, I may just wait for a 2004, but kinda worried about any price increase.

Bluemobile - I was just chatting with my dealer about getting a Silverstone Enthusiast (sice I can't find one within a 6 state region). I asked about placing an order and he informed me that either Tuesday April 1st, or Wednesday April 2nd would be the last possible days to order a 2003. I may also be waiting, which brought up a few questions.

1. What will the price increase be for the 2004 models.
2. Will the VPP finally be available for Nissan Business Partners.
3. Are there any changes being made to the 2004 models that improve on the 2003 version. (Actual glove box, any other enhancments).
4. When can I expect delivery of a 2004 model if I place my order now, would it be in the same time frame as the Roadster????

I am torn between the 2003 / 2004. I guess my decision would depend on the delivery timeframe. In the long run the 2004 would be the better idea, since by the time I got the order it would be mid year.

 

You bring up some good points. Any little imperfections should be worked out by the 2004 model year, but then again, how much of a price increase are we talking here

I am on the fence as well between 2003 and 2004.
I was waiting on the convertible, but now that I have seen it, I prefer to go with the coupe.
I waited all this time, I could just wait a few months and the 2004's will be out, which I will probably do, unless I fine a really good deal a Daytona Blue 6MT Enthusiast in the mean time...

 

They have over 50 Z's on the lots here in San Diego. Problem is, no DB in a base model. However, they do have a black base model listed at 26,400.

Yeah, I'm torn too. I would expect some of the issues with the 2003 would be fixed with the 2004, although that's just an assumption. If it turns out the 2004 is exactly the same as the 2003, I'll kick myself for waiting that much longer for the same thing =)
I also am torn between silverstone and brickyard, and I'm going to be quite sad if the rumors are true and there is no brickyard for 2004

 

Concerning the 2004 models...are they only going to manufacture a ragtop? Would be nice if they made both a ragtop and coupe.

Just a thought.

I don't see them not making the coupe, that would be rediculous. At any rate, I'm really anxious to hear what changes there may be for 2004

Bat™

 

I would wait. Even if they don't change a thing it would be worth it in the long run to have a 2004. Even if they increase the price by $500 it would be worth it in my book. When you go to trade in your car they'll give you more because it's a 2004 rather then a 2003. Unless you can get a real sweet deal on a 03.

 

Ya, right now I'm leaning towards a 2004. We'll see...When exactly do they go on sale?

Bat™

 

He will be hard pressed to find an '03 base model after they stop producing them.

 

True...
