Do you know if it is a preproduction or a preorder car?

How did the chrome silver/forst interior combo look? Did it match well?

With all of these sightings in the Miami area, it's starting to tick me off, it looks like Nissan picked the bigger markets served by the ports to deliver the cars first to. I mean other than the keys Miami is the furthest south point and there have been no other cars reported between Jacksonville and Miami down I95 and in the west coast LA and San Fran got theirs first!!! Come in Nissan, I can't help it I don;t live in a big market area!!!

I just returned from Maroone Nissan and it's true they have 2 chrome silver Z's on the lot. The one in the showroom is for a customer that didn't expect it until November and he is not happy that it arrived so soon. The second one is a Base model with no options except mats and capet,

Both cars came in with approx 35 miles on it and they said the do an 8 mile test drive when the car arrives. I sat in the Base model and there really is alot of room inside. It had 48 miles on it already.

Can't wait to get mine, had them check the computer again and it is now saying Sept 5th.

Default 35 miles on a new car???

I think you're being lied to. Typically, cars come off the truck at the dealer with around 6 miles.

When I started it up and saw 48 miles I questions the salesman as to why so many and this was the answer he gave me. I asked if the other was the same and confirmed it was.

Me thinks they took it for a spin, most believe that it will have around 10 and someone out in LA said theirs had 13, so I think 35 or 48 is way too many. I wonder if you can ask them to hook it up to the computer to see what the max RPM's it has seen, is that possible??

Default Tainted goods

> Tainted goods I say.

Absolutely. As much as we all want to test-drive this car, the more people that accept 35 miles on a "new" car the more likely dealers will be to let some bozo test-drive (and probably violate the break-in on) YOUR car.

Thanks.
Who was your salesman? Mine was Joe M. I ordered there also; did you specifically request this treatment? Did they put on the front license plate and/or any maroone stickers?

When my order is nearing, I am thinking of putting in such a request.

hey Westpak, Nissan did deliver a black touring model to Sutherlin Nissan on Merritt Island and another Z to Vero Beach. The one in Merritt Island was off=loaded at about 130 and was delivered around 5. My salesman called me whenit was coming off the truck and it was gone 5 minutes before I got there. I had to go to Tampa Saturday and I stopped at Nissan of Brandon and saw a PPW one there. They were kind enough to pull it from there back lot so my wife and I could see it. We were very impressed even if they hadn't had a chance to take the white shipping film off of it or wash it. I was there around 9am. The sales manager told me that they delivered one Z on Friday. It was ordered by a doctor who decided to hold off for the convertible. They said it was on the floor for a little over an hour and a half. I did not want to know what they got for it.
