Why retail on 2016 NISMO so low?

veejayy

Hey Guys- so bought and sold used Z since I last posted.
Anyway miss the car so test drove 2017 NISMO and just wow!!
Understand some of you feel overpriced and that you can buy base and build a "better " car but for my middle aged bones not something I do anymore.

So this is not about what to buy but rather a curiosity question.

Why with a car this fantastic to drive are the one year old NISMOs (2016) retailed like from $29K- mid $30K? Which means the wholesale price on either what the dealer paid these guys when they traded in or the auction price was like $25k-ish. I mean I have seen Porsches drop like rockets (base Caymans/Boxsters) but not this much in a year.

Anyway to repeat any thoughts on this?

Thanks.
