( know of one guy would bought for 79K) there was about 230+ left over 2014s that dealers (out of about 600 cars in the new market)were having a tough time with and this is an effort to help move those.

It was sort of an under the radar thing where the dealer could use that cash how they wanted so it wasnt advertised to the public.. I made a thread about it and it totally blew up. I got 30K views in a month and Nissan ended up selling 208 GTRs in the month of August because of that thread haha for comparison they sold 91 the month before so it more than doubled sales. its the most GTRs sold in a month since April 2011. I know fo over 30 members I directly helped get into GTRs so that great for them but the side effect of this is the used market is taking a beating right now as you can buy a grand new 2014 cheaper than what most were selling 12/13s for just a month ago. I sold my 2012 in late July if I hadnt had a buyer lined up I would have gotten killed this month.


this 2014 10K dealer cash has been extended until at least 9/30 so that might be something to look into if you our anyone else is serious about getting into a GTR as they can be had for upwards for 20K off



you ask why they are doing this? well its a 7 year old car now and there are some very competitive alternatives now for less money ( Z06 ect) and honestly I think Nissan should have controlled production a bit more these last two years to avoid this. the 2016 will still be a R35 so I fear they will run into this same surplus issue of 2015's like they have with the 14

Im glad they are only doing like 50 NISMO's as they will keep them depreciation proof
Thanks for replying MC. I was reading the thread about some of the guys picking up GTRs for low 80s and it's real tempting at the moment but it'd still stretch my wallet a little too thin. It's a shame that this is going to kill the used market for guys wanting to sell earlier models but others might gain in getting a slightly used 2015 for a killer price. Time will tell.
