Of interest:
I had a conference call today with Nissa's Senior Manager of Corporate Communications, and Senior Manager, Chief Marketing Mgmt.
Lots of good information today. Very forthcoming/helpful (as Nissan usually is), but specifically of interest to this thread is they confirmed they still have some 2011 MY inventory waiting to be merried up to customers.
You should double check with your dealer. HQ specifically said there has been some miscommunication/confusion with dealership managers believing 2011 inventory was tapped out and now talking 2012s in lieu...apparently because of the 'missed opportunity'/special offer deal sent out to those who didn't get to reserve the car...so you may still have a shot fellas.
Random factoid: there was aprox 12,000 people eligible to attempt to reserve a MY 2011 (within 65 miles of a dealership) out of 16,000 hand raisers in Canada...so if you got to RAQ at all, you were very fortunate
If anyone has any specific questions or wants some help/advice with the process on the 2011s, feel free to shoot me a PM or ask here, I might be able to help out.
I accidentally started a new thread with the following but I meant for it to be posted in here:
Hi,
First post here(from Vancouver) but I have a bit of a crazy story. I was in on the initial reservation process in Aug but I never could get my payment to go through. Nissan called me and left messages to say that I indeed was one of the initial people to reserve a Leaf and to "try again" to pay.
This went on (unsuccessful credit card payment attempts and subsequent phone messages from Nissan weekly - I would never get a confirmation screen) until....get this...last week when Nissan left a message saying "try one more time because they have figured it out" --- and IT WORKED!!!!
I have no idea if i have a MY11 or 12...
But after reading all the threads here the past day, I am a bit confused. My next step at the website is to get a home assessment but I see everyone is getting a waiver. I can't seem to find how/why you guys are doing that -- should I?
My wife is a bit nervous (and myself a bit perturbed because no rebate news from BC) because she doesn't want to buy the car without BC giving a rebate like ONT and QC is and thinks I should cancel and wait for that.
What should be my next steps? Call the 1-800 # to ask for a waiver for the home assessment?
I'm hoping to stall this a bit so that BC comes up with the rebate and then I can buy with confidence....
Any help would be greatly appreciated as so far my process hasn't been too smooth albeit it has been successful since I stuck with it...
PS The picture of the car on my dashboard shows a 2011 MY car so I must be one of those people you are referring to above....
thx
