"All I know is that I would be concerned if I didn't have any confirmation from Nissan that they have my 350Z on order."

Is there any source from Nissan where you cam find out if you are indeed a pre-order since I never received any confirmation from my United Auto Group pre-order???

Thanks

 

He could have been seeing how much over MSRP you'd be willing to pay IF a pre-order customer cancelled last minute also.

 

Call 1800Nissan1 to get the ball rolling.

 

My take is that the salesman is full of BS. Yes, I'm sure he would try to rip someone off on a preorder that fell through, but I still really doubt that anyone except the most dishonest dealer would sell a preorder out from under someone. I was under the impression that once the preorder is over, the dealers will get what they get, as far as models and options. What if your salesman were to sell your car and then not be able to quickly find the same model/options? Totally busted. I just think there's too much at stake for them for this to happen in all but a few isolated circumstances.

In addition, once you have your VIN, I don't see how this could happen at all, without the dealer risking a serious lawsuit.

Best thing you can do...talk to your dealer. Let them know that you're in the loop as far as production and timetables and expected info are concerned. Make sure they know that you will find out it they were to try a stunt like this. Hell, many members of my350z.com know more than most of the salesman out there about the schedules and procedures involved with the preorder program. Info is your weapon. Use it.

 

I'd try to weasal more info out of him i.e. pretend you are interested , then bust him on it. See if he really is trying to sell someone's Z.
