Yep, the big W here.

From posts in the past it was going to be a Sep build with around a 60 day delivery after build. Expect in Nov but end of Oct wouldn't be out of the question as it seems that Nissan is staying on time if not a little ahead of schedule.

I have a W... and I'm in CA...

Dealer originally told me November, but he later told me that there is a very good chance for October.

I also have a W order in Denver. My dealer says last week of October or 1st week of November. Hard to wait with all the posted deliveries.

Also what are the numbrs after the W? Is it just a number or does it have any meaning?

W180127
W179528

Both have W1... any meaning?

Have a W tracking number too. I think the following digits are just sequential. My dealer hasn't a clue when my car will come in. He hasn't gotten any of his preorders yet

Default For comparison...

For comparison, my Z order was placed with Nissan by the dealer today. My order number starts with V349 and I have a production date of 10/02. My dealer said delivery will be in approximately 90 days.

The GSM at the dealership was nice enough to fax me a screen-print of my order showing up in the computer. Kinda cool!

WOW!

You say Regional Manager - are you talking about Nissan or dealership? I think I'd be calling Nissan North America if I were you. I've never had to do it, so I don't know the phone number, but you should be able to find it on this board.

I have a W number in New Jersey. I was told by dealer that the NNA said it should be arriving in port on 10/25. Add a week or so before it makes it to the dealer.

So it seems all the "W" orders are told the same thing more less. It will enter production in September. Takes about production, then about 3 weeks for shipment, and about 7-10days for delivery from port to dealer. So our frame of time is from Oct 25-Nov 7. Which isn't too bad, thats not too long from now.

Anyone have idea's when we're suppose to get our VIN's? I heard Mid Sept, but that's unconfirmed nor offical. Anyone else hear anything?

I have heard that VINs are issued as they leave the factory for the ship.

The VIN numbers should start showing up in the system a few days after the cars leave the port in Japan. I'd start asking around the end of this month.

Don't want to burst any bubbles, but my "W" order number is scheduled for delivery in December. I'm not happy about it either but I'll wait for the car I want. I'm sure it will be worth it.
