GT-R sold for over sticker???
 

I was at the Nissan dealership today and they had two GT-Rs in the showroom. Naturally, I took a look at them and happened to notice the window sticker. The total was $87,000 and then there was a pen'd in line saying "Adjusted Market Value: +$10,000". Grand total is $97,000!

Now, if I really wanted a GT-R, I'd imagine $10k wouldn't make a big difference as I'd also have enough to cover $90k vs $100k. However, I have a HUGE problem with giving a dealership $10k for no good reason.

Thoughts?

My Z had a "Adjusted Market Value: + 5000" on the sticker when I went to buy it.

Just because it says that doesn't mean you pay it. :rofl2:

The GTR they had next to my Z on the showroom had tbe same 10K Dealer Markup. No big surpise there. You want the car bad enough, you'll drop the money. However for close to 100k I could find alot of other things to spend my money on.

Some uninformed consumer will probably pay it. That sounds like the price the GT-R's were fetching back in July of 2008.

As of now, I can find brand new GT-R's for under MSRP easily. That dealer is seriously trying to milk the situation, after the nips are dry.

Under MSRP? I start with a 3k discount, just want to get rid of them!

:bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl: get rid of them cars


some dealers are just too much... :rofl2:

thats crazy , that dealer is on crack... you can get 2010's at invoice now at some dealers and 3K off is about the average right now and i know of few used ones with about 10K miles are right now for low 60's

the GT-R market isnt that good right now

Is it because Nissan keeps tightening the warranty. Can't use launch control on the 08's, then can't turn of VDC on 09's. 10's, you cannot use full throttle without voiding warranty. Haha

'11 can't open the window...lol

Yeah, these were 2009s. You can't charge 10k over sticker for last year's model. Not to mention I'd bet dealers would drool to make a GTR sale if someone walked in the door and had the $87k to spend.

I guess they figure if they are patient enough they will find a buyer at that price. They might be waiting for a while. :)

imagine servicing a $100k car at a nissan dealer :eek:

I wouldnt lump them all into once basket. There are many that are outstanding, such as Fontana Nissan out in Southern California, and Boulder Nissan in Colorado.

And for those in the greater Atlanta/Georgia region, they just come to us for service instead. :)

There is no reason to pay that, I was at a dealership and saw a price of 76k and that is what they were asking.

This whole paying 10-15k more than the MSRP is stupid and you are an idiot to not shop around and pay it.

DAN

Its pretty standard for dealers to put the additional dealer markup sticker next to the MSRP sticker. It doesnt mean they will stick to that price, in many cases, you can still get under MSRP or even under invoice.

The reason for the sticker is simply that some will pay that price and by starting at a higher price in negotiation, they hope that after giving you a discount its higher than if they had started at MSRP. Its primarily psychological.

That dealer is pissing in the wind.

I would pretty much bet if you walked in and dropped 84-85,000 bucks on the table or had a check that they would take it.

i helped sell a used GTR today for 63K and the same dealer had two identical 2010's in white they are gonna sell for 500 under invoice..

True Story, happened to me too lol...
Invoice Price ftw! :tup:

$63K used? Mileage and condition?

Wow, and one local dealership has their GT-R roped off in the showroom...LOL.

11K miles white with grey interior... looked brand new never launched or anything it sold to a member on NAGTROC for 63,500. it was a trade for another (color) GT-R the dealer just wanted out of it since they just got in two 2010 white ones...i went up to the dealership and looked it over for them to verify the condition.

Great price for a clean used gtr. They seem to be dropping pretty quickly in value. I suppose if you
bought early at the first msrp of about 75 you'd make out ok.

LOL that must be gwinnett place nissan hahaha. Everytime I walk in there and a GTR is present they have the red ropes out 3 ft from the car so even tall ppl cant touch it lol!!!:roflpuke2:

no doubt the GT-R is a high performance car but if i had a budget of around $100k to spend on a car, i would spend it on an audi r8 instead because it looks like a supercar and it is available with a manual transmission too.

good god with the missinformation, why do people post this stuff when they have no idea what the truth is? :shakes head:

and there are too many GTR's sitting around at dealerships at or below invoice to be charging 10k over sticker. that was a good way for dealerships to make up the money cost up front to become a GTR dealership (training, equip, etc) but this late in the game, as sharif stated, they are just trying to gouge someone who doesn't know

the only R8 you could get for that price would be the v8 (which is not a bad thing) that performs well sure enough, but isn't on the same level of performance as the GTR. and i bet the maint. costs are about the same or close. if that was the case and it was my money, i'd want the faster car. don't get me wrong tho, i LOVE the R8, it's gorgeous and has rewritten the book for sports car design (just look at how many cars are incorporating lots of LED's into the design of the headlights now). but it just can't compete with the output of the GTR... yes i am a GTR nutswinger lol:nutswinger:

edit: although i do myself like rowing the grears of a true manual transmission, the GTR's transmission (remember it IS a REAL manual, just automated) is a great trans, despite the bad press it gets, and is a lot of fun to drive with (trust me :) ), especially on the track i'm sure

While the GTR is quicker, I'd take a V8 R8 in a heartbeat over the GTR. I've met a couple GTR owners now and they are disgusted with Nissan. Despite buying an $80k car, you're still get the service quality and warranty of a Versa. Sure the V8 R8 (and V10 really) are slower than the GTR, but they are more exotic, are backed by a better company, and will turn more heads. I've driven an R8 on a track and it's an absolute hoot...best car I've ever driven. Haven't had the pleasure of driving a GTR yet. Only stalked by one (see picture on left).

although i can't argue with the statement about service quality and warranty, the dealership is supposed to have one service writer and one technician to work specifically on GTR's. they are supposed to be trained how to handle not only the car but the customer as well. if they are not, they should call NNA and let them know. i'm not talking about whining about the car but the actual service they are getting. i know some GTR techs and they all say they were given explicit instructions to take extra time to do things and make sure they are done right the first time. it is hard to give a customer proper service for a car costing so close to six figures from a dealership that sells cars for almost four figures. back when the GTR was still in development it was rumored that it would only be sold and serviced at infiniti dealerships for this exact reason. and even tho it's a nissan, that kinda makes sense

Adjusted Market Value: +$10,000?

In what country or part of the world they have been living for the past 2 yrs? Does recession, poor economy, war, and unemplyoment rings a bell to these dealers?

The dealer is ripping people off...My friend got his brand new GTR for invoice..he was out of there with the car less than an hour..the deal went through within 10 minutes

limitations
 

Only certain Nissan dealerships get to sell them, we don't even have a dealer in town qualified to sell them. The closes one is in Ohio

if anyone is serious about buying one i can get you a 2010 today for 2K under invoice.. 84,790 car for 77,664

I can do better...lol

how much better? not that im going to get one today lol

I sold 2 GTR's this week. One at 2000 behind invoice (Pearl White) and a Super Silver with a 12/08 build date in stock for 8 months for 3500 behind invoice!

That's a long way from the over sticker deals of last year!

Still have 2 in stock, a Black and a GunMetal if anyone is interested. (Both built after April of 2009)
