Nissan is building the wrong car for me
Good news and bad news. Nissan has got my car in production and it will be ready fro delivery in 10 days, BAD NEWS IS THAT THIS CAR IS NOT THE ONE I ORDERED. ITS A TOURING MODEL WITH NAVI, and I ORDERED A PERFORMANCE MODEL WITHOUT NAVI. SO NOW WHAT? SIT AND WAIT 6 MORE MONTHS FOR THOSE ****IN IDIOTS AT NISSAN TO GET IT RIGHT. SO CHOKED RIGHT NOW. HOW HARD IS IT TO READ SOME ALPHA-NUMMERIC CHARACTERS FROM A PIECE OF PAPER, IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO NOW THEYR'E TRYING TO PUSH THIS TOURING MODEL FOR $3,400(CDN) more on me, and IM LIKE IF I WANTED TO PAY THAT WHICH THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL THAT I AM GETTING A AUTOMATIC 350Z, I WOULD HAVE ORDERED THE TRACK PACK TO START OFF WITH.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?????????????

Dood that sucks really bad. Unfortunately, if you're going to spend this kind of money on something, better make sure you get what you want. You'd be better off waiting for them to build you the right car. You'll thank yourself a year from now when you've got that nice manual tranny perf model. I'd get all the documentation you have showing what you ordered, and try to make them build it for you asap. Good luck!

That sucks dude, did you ever get a printed card with the correct info on it? I would NEVER take an automatic or a nav.
I'm like you, I want what I ordered, that's why I ordered it.

Refuse it and try to find a model that you want that someone else has passed on. I don't know about Canada but there seems to be many abandoned pre- orders in the US to choose from. I wouldn't take the auto even if they offered it for the same price as your original order. I sympathize with your dilemma.

Ballz,
I feel your pain, but they may not be able to fix your problem, but hopefully they will.
In that case, I would try to profit from their mistake by selling your space in line for $2-5K and reordering a new one at the same time. It sucks to wait, but your wait time will be much shorter then those, like myself, who have waited since February for their Zs. I think it is best that you get what you want and not regret it later.
It sounds like the Z they got is not that bad, but if you wanted manual vs auto it would be enough to make me order another one. Look at the bright side, at least you'll make a PROFIT, something that rarely happens, since cars a simply depreciating assets. I think in the long run you will be happier.
Good luck!

I had a smaller problem. They ordered me Chrome silver instead of Silverstone. I changed it very easily by calling James Negar at Nissan North America (1-800-NISSAN6 x 3728). When I changed my color he said it would not delay production. Good Luck.

To expand on Zmain's idea - I don't think you can sell your spot in line. It's up to the dealer who to sell it to, not you. Nissan has warned against this, so I wouldn't risk it. What you could do is to go ahead and buy it, then turn it and sell it for a profit. On another thread someone mentioned that you don't have to title a car when you buy it, and that may keep you from having to pay tax as well. Regardless, not titling it means you can still sell it as new. Even if you do sell it as used, I'm sure you could make a profit on it. This thing is going to have even higher demand once more of them are on the road, and people with money, who have never heard about it, are gonna want one. Think about it, a few extra grand may keep you happy till your Z comes in!

Ballz, do you mind sharing what dealer you ordered from? That same thought has gone through my mind as well.
I'm truely sorry to hear that crap news. Don't settle man. Get what you want. I mean, if it was the wrong color, then maybe consider it. As crappy as that news is, myself, I'd most likely wait it out.
OR, call around and see about cancelled orders and maybe get in on a deal sooner via that route. We don't have that many options between models up here, you might be more likely to find one that matches what you are looking for.

When you say it's your car that is in production, how do you know.
Who told you specifically that that's your car?
No one here has ever identified to whom the car belongs while it's still in production. I have a strong suspicion that your dealer is up to something.

Oh, and when you say it's in production and will be ready for delivery in 10 days, that's also bogus; unless YOUR car is coming in by "special delivery".
