Honestly yes I don't like the car as much now. Basicly it left a bad taste in my mouth. How can u be excited about a purchase when u just found out its value got killed. If I was rich it prob wouldn't bother me. But I work my azz off for the things I have and it just ruins the fun when u loose that much that fast.

Oh well, I'm not going to fret about it. I probably wouldn't be able to find a Midnight Blue one in the Western region if I waited until the '14 model year.

Was amazingly difficult in '13...

Interesting that they added a rear fog to the '14 Nismo. I didn't notice it on the '13

Ok, it was voluntary for consumer relations purposes. I remember the talk of legal action, and that wouldn't have held up. Apple did what Nissan should do and give something back. I just doubt they're going to do it.

The most I could see is them doing something that doesn't cost them out of pocket immediately, like extending the warranty out another few years or something like that.

If you honestly don't like the car any more, then go ahead and get out of it. I'd think long and hard about that before I pulled the trigger though. Youre pissed right now. The decision to take a monetary loss like you would if you sold it shouldn't be made in anger.

Sweet yeah let us know. I'm getting mine in about 1-2 months. And I would like to know the typical price.

The only difference I noticed looking at the site for 2014's was the shifter looks different for the auto.

Never mind I think it is actually the same. Probably need more sleep : /

Tree70 · 07-26-2013, 11:08 AM

I hope they drop the prices of the 2013's to match.
Who is going to want to buy an older car for more $$$.
How will they get rid of them?

I'll be honest with you. When I bought my car in 2011 I had it for 6-12 months and started to dislike it. Due to the fact that its a dd I was goodwilled the oil cooler from Nissan. Then I put on the front camber arms to extend the life of the tires. That was what really ticked me off from Nissan's engineering team. Then I got the green light from my wife for the cbe, and high flow cats. Couple of months later I got the gen 3's and the motordyne. Soon I got my tune and honestly I am more happier with the way this car performs, looks, and sounds then ever! I no longer have that bad taste in my mouth, I just learned how to fix the car to where I am happy with it. Im not saying this will help for you bro, but try not to get upset over a couple of grand. Honestly you wouldn't see it at the trade in anyways, no one ever gives you your actual worth in a trade in.

This is why I love 'Murica!

I'd have to agree with Chuck in this whole agreement. When you bought your 2013 a few months ago, of course 2014 models were due to arrive soon. Should have played the waiting game and see what happened. That's what I did when I got my 2012. Waited to see what changes were in store for the 2013 and if I liked the changes, I get a 2013, if I didn't like the changes, get a 2012.

But you signed the contract agreeing to the price what you thought was fair for a 2013 model.

Lots of companies lower prices for newer models (think maybe like $500 bucks or so, never seen a $4k reduction)

Chuck33079 · 07-26-2013, 11:25 AM

I really hope they offer something to the people who bought a 2013. It would be the best thing they could do from a PR standpoint. I just don't think it will happen.

While the devaluation of the Yen does definitely play into it, the cut is also part of Nissan's strategy to break 10% total market share in the US.

It's tough to swallow these kinds of price breaks when you've just made the purchase, but sometimes things like this happen.

For those saying they've just lost $4k, no, you haven't. Your eventual difference in resale once you get rid of the vehicle isn't going to come anywhere close to that number.

I understand the frustration, but lets at least try to be realistic here.

I'm hoping Nissan offers some kind of free maintenance plan to help compensate 2013 owners.

That's about what I would expect if they get anything.

italy3541 · 07-26-2013, 11:46 AM

So lets add fuel to the fire. I just got off the phone with the dealer I got mine from. He told me the price change was across the board of their model line. Ranging from $1500-4000. He said that Nissan gave a credit/refund to all dealer existing inventory so they can sell everything at the new prices. So Nissan gave their dealers the money back but not the customers.... That is bulllshit total bulllshit. He also told me there is a new VP of North American sales and he is the one who did te price changes. These prices were put into effect sometime in June on most models.

Chuck33079 · 07-26-2013, 11:48 AM

Then the issue becomes the dealer's problem, not Nissan's. The dealers were the ones who got the refund, and then got paid extra when selling the car. They should have lowered their price as well, but it's never a surprise when a dealer tries to screw someone for a little extra profit.
