Save by the Japanese disaster... So &
So some of you may know I have a 2011 GTR on order and that Ive saved my butt off for the last 4 years to buy one.
Then in January my property at New Farm was kindly bathed by the Brisbane river in a beautiful brown mud bath.
My insurance company RACQ (home insurance, no contents as its a rental property) have decided that they are not paying out on the damages on the basis its not my principle property and that if I were covering home and contents then they would. Needless to say Ive appealed to the various government set up groups to have RACQ re-think their position.
I'm one of thousands of people whom RACQ has turned their back on in this disaster. The property had to be repaired asap, so I spent 135k so far out of my own pocket to get it back to better than ever. New walls, new electrical, new windows, new kitchen, new bathroom. It looks really good and now should yield at least $80 more rent per week. But i had to spend most of my GTR money hoping that RACQ will re-pay me before Nissan calls to say the car is here.
Well they called last Wednesday, to let me know my car will be there by Monday this week. I was shattered and told them the entire story of whats happening. They said "dont worry" we have orders for 7 blue 2011 GTR's (at that dealership) to fill and yours in one of only three to ship before the devastation in Japan. So they are giving my order to the next in line and im being put back on the rear of the line.
So hence buying me time to get RACQ to pay...
In short my disaster which caue me the problems have been saved by a disaster.
Also Nissan were more than happy to refund me the deposit if I needed it, I was really shocked to hear them offer that, they were really good about it. Anyway, my 35 was delivered to its new owner yesterday afternoon and I went down to see it as they invited me to come.
The owner is in his 60's and was delighted to take delivery and was apologetic about my circumstances.
So he is happy, im sad but happy at the same time that I have not lost yet and a big thanks to Nissan for being human.
Fingers crossed i get my pay out before the next GTR's are ready for pickup.
Note: Nissan still dont have a clue when the next vehicles are coming. They said it may be as long as Christmas away.
i was being sarcastic, but im still standing by my statement of "WOW"
