That also depends I started calling dealers all over California today to get an idea.

I've heard 10K -50K!

After that one 50K dealership I told him that other dealerships in the Southern California were charging 10-20k and most right on 15k.

He then told me that he would be lowering the 50K mark-up to 15k thanks to me :D (Not like he would get 50K anyways :p)

Mike, your dealer actually gave you a delivery date?

[Mike Cottrell]

Yes, unless there are procdution issues that stop things he said my car would be produced in March for a mid-June delivery. We will see but the indication came from Nissan via the dealership. I have been in communications with the dealership constantly wanting to track progress and he called me to give me this news. He also indicated he would send me the print screen of the order as it is carried through the Nissan order system.

What is your status? mike

Put down $2500 back in Nov 06 - promised first available. Originally thought to be June 08, but told last week could be anytime June till December. Also told I might have a $25000 increase over MSRP. Dealership has to send five employees to LA for training. There only getting one car this year. I think I am paying for the training.

Dude, tell them hell no, and get your money back. Most dealers that wanted huge markups have come down now, the normal seems to be 5-10k. I would find one for MSRP thoough, because once the Spec V, and a manual (hopefully) comes out, I don't want to be sitting feeling sorry for myself.
