Looks like we could be in a lottery for Delivery quote from the GTR forum (bit late for a April fool Joke so looks like it could be genuine) According to a dealer's memo this morning, Nissan have now changed thier minds and are giving everybody on their deposit list an equal chance of getting a car, rather than the first-come first-served system that we all had originally thought they were adopting. Nissan HQ have not denied this either, they are saying that cars will be allocated on a "lottery" basis. Frankly I think this is unfair. I have been promised by several Nissan dealers that they will be able to get me my car sooner as I am near the top of their list. Nissan HQ have said that these dealers are at fault and have been advising customers incorrectly. It simply doesnt help me. I have brought many cars previously and each time it has always been a first-come first-served basis. Nissan HQ seem to think "Nissan are different". Yep, I agree they are different in that they mislead their customers. As per the dealers and based on the misleading information/advice given by them I have placed two deposits for two cars i.e. £7000. Only to find out (after they have got my money) that they want to change their method of allocation. Which means that I(FEB 07 deposit) am in no better position than the person who placed thier order yesterday!! This is Nissan's UK HQ number to ring to complain if you like me are near the top of the deposit list or ring to congratulate if you placed your deposit yesterday 01923899334!!!

nothing bold about a statement of fact. if you guys cant deal with it then tough.
Carl your argument was that the 911 turbo was BETTER than the GTR. I asked you how it was better. Then i proceeded to demonstrate with facts how the GTR is the better car. Your only response was basically its a porsche. Which is nothing to do with it being a better car and everything to do with being a bigger status symbol. Then you change your ctiteria and start saying the GT2 is a better car. BTW the GTR is 2 seconds a lap faster then the 911 turbo around the nurburgring..

We Won't know until May now and first Cars wont arrive until April
email from Nissan It’s almost here. The most eagerly-awaited car Nissan has ever built: the stunning new GT-R. Don’t forget that the new GT-R is available to pre-order exclusively at Nissan High Performance Centres from 2 April, or alternatively online from 4 April. To find your nearest Centre please click here. With intense customer interest in GT-R, we strongly advise you confirm your pre-order reservation between the 2 April and 6 April so that you can be considered for the earliest availability. Your order reservation has to be supported by a £3,500 deposit. www.gtrnissan.com. We are aware that some GT-R customers may well have placed a deposit at a Nissan dealer who has not been appointed as a Nissan High Performance Centre. Under these circumstances please contact these dealers directly and request the immediate return of any deposits paid. Only Nissan High Performance Centres are authorised to accept GT-R deposits and place order reservations. With demand predicted to exceed limited supply, multiple orders from a single customer cannot be accepted. All order reservations will have equal status and will be equitably matched against the earliest available production. Customers can expect to receive confirmed delivery dates in respect of their order reservation at the end of May 2008. UK customer deliveries for GT-R will commence from April 2009. So don’t miss your chance to be among the first who have pre-ordered the new supercar designed and built for anyone, anytime, anywhere.

I have had 2 pre-order BMWs in my life a E46 323Ci Coupe that I ordered 1year before the model came out. I was number 1 on the dealer list but because it came out in July on a T plate I said I would take my car 1st Sept so the dealer got there demo and another car before me. I ordered a Z4 2 years before they came out and I was no. 1 on the list and had the 1st car same time as dealer demo. I guess they are trying to weed out the speculators from the serious punters. i.e. you won't gamble if you are a speculator as your car might come after the initial high demand period. This is just so wrong and I would be at the dealership and on the phone to Nissan UK salesdirector with the dealerprinciple and salesmanger by your side on conference call. You have brought a place in the que - you have been told where you are and that is why you have comitted a deposit. If they want to change the rules from now on that's there choice but buyers will be aware and make there decision with the facts availible to them. My local Porsche dealership has deposits for the next generation 911 Turbo the day the 997 Turbo came out. It's a crazy world but Nissan cannot rewrite the rules as this takes away credability.

Whoops, was just going to congratulate you Steve on an awesome buy and it's going pearshaped!
Anyway I'll avoid doing any comparisons with other cars, as from what I've read, there seems few cars that will come anywhere near close to the GT-R. If you look at the cost of the GT-R in comparison to other cars that supposedly compare in performance, there is no contest. It's got to be the best bang for buck car out there IMO. It's worthwhile hanging on for Steve, £3.5K is lunchbox money for you And now this: Amuse Nissan GT-R No Joke Series of upgrades push GT-R's power up to 582hp http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/t...?f=23&t=515690 Kin ell!!! |

Had a conversation today and essentially noone will get a delivery date until May.
if the customer is not happy with the date they can get a refund. I just hope i get mine before 2010 so i dont have to pay 950 to the robbing **** they call the government

Steve, if you save your pennies between now and the estimated delivery date of the Datsun You might be able to afford the Humble Porsche 911, of your choice (turbo or GT2)
