If you can afford that, you can afford a 911 Turbo, GT3, Vantage, F430, Gallardo. Yeah, badge isn't everything, but to pay that for a Nissan and the service that goes along with it is insane. What's the loaner car, an Altima?

No. Being able to afford a $129k Nissan and a $250k Ferrari are two VERY different things.

+1
The M6 on my dealers lot had a "Will sell at invoice" sticker on it. (It was an 07 and this was in early December)

BMW of Riverside, California..........$146k.........$40k mark-up.

Did people actually read the article? It's 129k cause of dealer markup, not because that's the price Nissan demands. Now, go blame dealers for cashing in on its exclusivity instead of whining about it at Nissan.

I can't wait to see the stupid face of those people who actually paid > $70,000 for a Nissan............fast or not..............Cayman S and E92 M3

come on........can you really say that the M3/Cayman S is better than the GT-R......

that's like comparing a bottle of cheap Southern Whiskey to Johnny Walker Blue Label....

Scale of 0-10

0-----1-----2-----3-----4-----5-----6-----7----8-----9-----10
.............................M3................... ..................GT-R.........

Let's keep it in retrospective......

Are you really gonna put all your faith in a leftlanenews article?

C'mon.

Until the GT-R is actually sold for $129k I call

A lot of people like to read stuff like this article to feed into their disliking for the GT-R.

E90330iS · 02-03-2008, 06:21 PM

Ya true... 90% mark up is rediculous

myfirstbmw335i · 02-04-2008, 12:53 AM

My .02

First, I believe that the GT-R could be the best car ever built for the MSRP Nissan suggests. I might even be tempted to give $20k over sticker given the chance. However, anyone who gives over $100k for the car is a complete idiot as far as I'm concerned.
There are (7) 2007 911 Turbo 997's on EBAY right now with less than 10k miles from $110k to $119k.
I would much rather have it, and then spend $1,500 on the FLASH that is available.
My friend has a 2002 911 Turbo with the FLASH and he owns the DYNOJET shop in town. His car with the FLASH produced 480 RWHP with the front drive-shaft removed....

For that price, I'd be looking at VERY different cars. M6, 997 GT3, 996 GT2, 360 Stradale... The GTR wouldn't even be on the radar. IMO, people are crazy to pay 80K for it, when they could get a Z06, and do some substantial modding for that kind of money.

Or they could pay $70k for the GT-R, which the MSRP roughly comes to, and do some substantial modding for that kind of money.

Point is, no1 has paid $129K for the GT-R.

Therefore the M6, 997 GT3 and all the other cars are irrelevant choices.

E82tt6 · 02-04-2008, 03:01 AM

Oh, I agree. I don't think anyone will either, my point was simply that's an obscene amount of money to pay for a car that's a few tics behind a $70k Z06.

FYI, they can walk away from the deal and just give your deposit back. Nothing forces them to sell it at MSRP.

Nothing is guaranteed until the contract is signed and that you have the car in your hands.
