IN-TRANSIT VEHICLE FAQS
While ordering in-transit vehicles is an easy process, we understand that you may have some questions about what a vehicle in transit is and the process involved. We’ve gathered some of the most commonly asked questions below, but you can always reach out to our team for additional questions.
Where did all of the new vehicles go?
Because many new vehicles rely on hundreds of microchips, broader supply chain conditions can affect production and availability. However, Nissan continues producing new vehicles, and Baker Nissan is selling new cars daily.
What is an "in-transit" vehicle?
An in-transit vehicle is due to arrive at Baker Nissan but hasn’t arrived yet. It’s typically expected in our next shipment, though arrival times may vary.
Where can I see the “in-transit” vehicle inventory?
We use an in-transit icon to designate vehicles that are currently in transit. You can also use our filter to search for in-transit vehicles. We try to make this process as easy as possible. Feel free to call any one of our specialists or managers with any questions.
What if I want something that you don’t have?
We are currently displaying all of the inventory available on our website as best we can. However, if you still don’t see the model you want, reach out to us and we can check to see if we’re expecting the vehicle in one of our next shipments, or if we can order it direct from Nissan for you.
Where do the in-transit vehicles come from?
When you order in-transit vehicles from Baker Nissan, you’ll be ordering directly from Nissan. This helps ensure you get the vehicle you want without compromising on the model or included features. In some instances, we may be able to locate the vehicle you want at another Nissan dealership and have it shipped to our store. We take every situation seriously and do our best to help ensure you Drive Away Different at Baker Nissan.
What does the ordering process look like?
The ordering process is quick and simple! You’ll work with our Product Specialists and Managers to find the right vehicle for your driving needs, put down your deposit, and we’ll keep you informed of your arrival date and any changes Nissan may make.
Does it require a deposit or commitment?
To finalize your order and help ensure the vehicle is reserved for you, we require a $500 deposit. While you’re at our dealership, we will test drive similar vehicles, review pricing, and answer all of your questions before taking your deposit, which is applied directly to the purchase of that vehicle.
How long does it take?
Your vehicle delivery timeline depends on the vehicle you select and the packages you choose. For some vehicles, availability may range from a few days to several months. We can provide a more accurate estimate when you visit our dealership and place your order.
Can you rush an in-transit vehicle order?
Once we’ve placed your order with Baker Nissan, we inform Nissan the vehicle is pre-sold, which can sometimes speed up the process. We must wait for the vehicle to be manufactured and shipped. We will keep you updated on your vehicle status every step of the way.
