BS
if he meant he is buying a japanese GTR ...they are more expensive in japan than here... the same premium model that costs 91-92K here...costs the equivalent of about 115K dollars in japan... roughly 9.5 million yen
one of the reasons for the increase of the price on the new GTR besides the performance improvements was nissan trying to bring it more inline with what it costs in other markets... when the car first launched in japan in 07 and here in 08.. it was priced similar... by japans next model year the cost of the JDM market one skyrocketed and ours saw only a modest increase in relation to theirs... ours has been creeping up ever since and is roughly 20K more now than when it was first offered 3 years ago...
if he meant he is buying a USDM GTR...... you cant cut the dealers out and buy straight from japan.. to use your 91K GTR as an example the dealer buys it from nissan for about 82K (3% under invoice) vs the MSRP of 91K...so that figure of 74K is almost 10K less than what its wholesale is
