Hi Everyone!

I'm getting close to pre-ordering my Z from out of state... from Tennessee (Im in california). I've never purchased a vehicle from out of state...and would like some help and info on what Im getting myself into...

Also, If anyone knows of a northern california dealer still taking preorders at MSRP please let me know!!

thanks guys,
I appreciate the help!

Where in Tennessee? I'm in Nashville and will help you if necessary. However I would think there are some left in Cali.

 

Hey Greg,

My dealer still has allocations left. But I'm down in Southern California. Still beats going to Tennessee. Call Michael Black at Douglas Nissan of Orange. 714-633-8430. He will have no problem with MSRP and just $500 down refundable.

thanks alot BullishZ! im gona check that out. Now just gota figure out what to do with my 300ZX.. ill miss it, but im all for the new Z now!

 

GregCiro,

if you do decide to go with nissan of orange can you see if there is another spot left? i too am (finally) getting ready to order and am looking around.

thanks.

 

OK for you lazy folks. Just called the dealer... also to ask him about my order. There are no allocations left for the remainder of the year. THEY ARE SOLD OUT!

Sorry guys.

 

Think my dealer still has one or two left...First Nissan in Simi Valley, CA Talk to Doug Senica..tell him Pat sent you

 

BullishZ- thanks for the info i appreciate it! ugh!
Pat - thanks i will try them!.. this is what I get for waiting til the last minute.. couldnt help it though.. I'll always love my 300z...

I just got back from my bank doing some auto loan fun stuff.. haha.

I need some more info... When I bought my 300zx I payed cash for it and took it home.... so Im not very familiar with how this preordering stuff works... can someone give me a run down of what its like? I tell them what I want, I pay the down, etc.. when does the financing and all that talk take place?

thanks guys!
Greg

 

Serramonte Nissan (in Daly City, I think) advertized that they had 2 slots left in Sunday's Chronicle.

 

Greg: It's basically just like buying a regular car. You sit down with the dealer when the car comes in and talk about financing. They'll probably talk to you about Nissan financing and depending on their interest rate and/or if they offer any attractive financing options you either go with them or go to your own lending institution and take out the loan yourself. As you said, you'll want to go to your own places first to get an idea on the best rates. The only difference is that you get to pick the exact car you want (color, model, options etc.) before hand instead of having to take what is in the dealers stock on his lot. The down side of course is that you'll have to wait until the car is built and is delivered.

 

thanks dr bonz - ok sorry i dont know very much about the process... ive had my z since i first started driving... so, not very caught up on the whole buying process..

so basically im putting a down payment on the car to have the right to buy it when it comes...

and when the car does arrive at the dealer.. thats when i get to do the dirty work with financing and all that talk right?

(im really just trying to make sure i have a month or more to finish all this bank loan stuff and dont have to worry about talking finance when i go preorder and put a down on the car in the next couple days....)

just making sure..

 

Correct. All you'll need is the downpayment when you sit down and do the preorder (which really isn't a big thing, should take about 10-15 mins.) No need to worry about financing until the car arrives.

 

Greg,
As of 2 days ago, Stevens Creek Nissan claimed they still had pre-order allocations. Call H. Jolly, Fleet Manager, at 408-234-6629.

 

thanks gpsailor! i called jolley at stevens creek. they have 9 slots left for preorders for the late august batch of z's comin in. 1000 down at msrp! cool...

also called vallejo nissan, and same thing, except its the sept/oct delivery..

think ill go with stevens creek!

 

Try boardwalk in redwood city also, the salesman wouldn't even tell me how much they were asking for the car when I asked over the phone so I'd be carefull with them though. I would only consider them if you were running out of options.

 

kraZy...

...no offence taken. it's just that you know i'm still in school rite now and its finals week, and i have a lot to study for and i'd rather be studying than 350 searching you know? wait actually let me rephrase that...i HAVE to study more than i have to search for a 350. in fact, i really should be studying rite now...hmm...anyway yeah i thought that maybe my life could be a little easier. that's all.
