Special leasing on MY15 GTRs
 

So it should be no surprise to anyone here that Nissan employees get really good pricing on vehicle purchasing and lease offers. Up until very recently the GTR was off limits to any special deals. That changed this week in now employees like myself can lease a GTR on a 6 month basis for an exceptional deal. So I had to question what the motive behind this is? Not many folks are going to treat the GTR with the respect it deserves and in 6-10 months time frame the market is going to be flooded with beat to hell 6 month old supercars. Is this an effort to start reducing the ground stock? Thoughts? Maybe MC will chime in here.

I havent heard of employee lease specials specifically on 15's but it isnt surprising as it coincides with the big news going on right now. For the first time ever since the GTR went on sale in 2008....since Aug 1 has had an internal 10K dealer cash incentive on left over 2014's. this has lead to 100K GTRs going for low 80's. ( 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

Yeah watched that thread. If Nissan doesn't learn something from that thread then SMH

Yeah they produce roughly 1500-1600 for the US and for the last few years they have sold 1200ish. The 12-15 cars are very similar except for the price increase so it was inevitable the market would change on these

The R36 is a year or two off so they need to maybe cap production for 2016s to help the GTR keep is value and standing. If anything it should show Nissan there is a demand for this car still in the 80s but less so at that 100k+ mark

I would love to own a GTR but will never afford one on my current salary even with the 20k discount. LOL

So what is the cost of the lease per month?

damn maybe i should trade in my z

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.

I will definitely keep an eye on how this shakes out. I have been watching the 2012+ models on the used market, but why buy a used '12 for $70k if you can buy new for $80k-ish?

Nissan needs to do something to pull the cost of this car down, because things like the new Z06 for $78k will rob the already small sales this car gets. I'm sure they have something planned.

Also throw in that Dodge just cut $15,000 from the price tag of the Viper. Reports claim before taxes it's running just under $85K.

what can you lease them for?

$509 for black edition

That is crazy. How much down?

AFAIK $0.00 down. My counterpart is going to lease one so he should get it in about 6-8 weeks. I'm sure there has to be some fine print we aren't being told about. It's almost too good to be true. If I didn't blow 5 grand on an Alaska trip recently I'd been all over this.

Any details on those lease prices or link? $509??
