Hey Well my car was the first ordered at Stamford motors in conn. and still hasnt arrived. Im assuming all cars that were on the ship from newark already have homes now. I can't explain it any other way?? Stamford is like 2 hrs away, why would it take almost two weeks for it to get there? Anyone have any info? Anyones dealer on the east expecting arrival this week? I think all those go there cars already........

Default Mine is MIA Too!

I have had a vin since 8/01/02. I believe my car is on the docks at Newark among approx. 1000 cars. Not all are Zcars. Yours , like mine, is probably sitting in the lot awaiting their turn at "liberation". Another problem we face is Nissan is only shipping the Zcars 1 or 2 at a time (according to my sources),
I can't believe I am saying this, Hang tight man, it will be soon.
Having said that, I will now find a corner some place and pray!!!
By the way I am on Long Isalnd, not that far away from you (geographically).

That's exactly my problem. I've had my VIN since 8/1/02 and still NOTHING. It's due 9/12/02 but i was expecting a week early since everyone else got theirs early. This sucks. My dealership has received ZERO cars. boo!

I saw 4 auto carriers stuck in traffic near the George Washington Bridge last friday evening headed into NY. It seems they can only carry Z cars in the rear spaces. Ground clearance is to low to move the cars inside the truck. All 4 I saw each had 2 Z's.. Keep the faith.. It should be there soon.. I have a Sept 12th delivery date on a car ordered 2/12/02

Good Luck

That could slow things down somewhat if that issue wasn't known in advance.

Default ok.....

OK but how long does it take to go from Newport to Connecticut? 2 hours max, so that means the Z is just sitting there? I have a base Z no options, so its not like there doing anything to it?? Maybe mine wasnt in the first lot? I still hope it was but i dunno. My dealer says to keep calling back daily to see.... So hopefully tommoorw? or friday?

Default Cars not in Newark?!

Based on some info , from a site member, I found out my car is not in Newark afterall. It is in transit via boat. Now where is that boat??? Possibly the one due in within the week at Newark? Stay tuned for the further adventures of the MIA Zcars.
Maybe that is where all of your cars are too? Getting "sea sick"!
Give us strength!!!

There's a boat due in Newark on 9/10. I think a lot of our cars are on it. They should be in the dealers by around the 15th to 17th.

Update-
My car is FINALLY on the inventory sheet for my dealer. It JUST showed up, along with 2 others. Funny, they go from 0 - 3 in less than 12 hours!! Woohoo! Needless to say, I'm psyched. I even got goosebumps when I saw it on there...Maybe I'll have it for this weekend for the Z car show! *crossing my fingers*

Default delays

From what I have been told part of the delay is due to the following;
1. Getting through customs and doing the port side preps
2. Using only Nissan Certified drivers to transport the cars
3. Too few of the certified drivers

I guess it is better they get here in one piece with certified drivers.

Default Congratulations ZGiRL!

Look forward to seeing pics of your new baby. As for myself, I've been told the end of Sept. but who knows, it may just show up earlier. In either case, I'm excited for everyone getting their cars. See you on the road soon.
