How much will you bid for the new Skyline GTR

[conschoi]

I am just curious if any1 will bid for the new skyline GTR for more than $100,000??
I went to ask about the new GTR at the dealership, they said they have 70 ppl in the line , and there is only 5 quoter availible. and he even says ppl are bidding it over $120,000.
So will anyone of you bid a car for $120,000 that's only worth around $90,000 ??

[SkittleFreak]

I would. Fucking amazing car.

[Shogged]

it will go higher than that. the new challengers were selling for 30k+ over MSRP at some dealerships.

[conschoi]

OMG are u serious?? so whoever is the first owner of the new GTR, he will make 30k automaticlly?

[Sorath]

i thought nissan made it clear there was not to be any scalping of the car? otherwise warranty will be voided?

[conschoi]

what do u mean?? i don't get it~

he means that if you go out and buy the car, only to sell it for a profit within a certain amount of time, your warranty will be voided.

as in there is probably some clause/restriction for the buyer from buying the car and immediately selling it.

[conschoi]

really? however i got some1 who offer me the new GTR ,
is that mean once he sells the car to me , the GTR warranty will be voided ???
which means I will not have any warranty cover ??

Exactly, once your warranty is void, this means you don't have any warranty at all, because since your warranty is void.

[ekguy]

no what he's saying is that Nissan was supposed to put a system in place where dealerships themselves were to sell the car at the sticker price to avoid price gouging. Whether this will work is another story. Time will tell. It's been brought up before with links posted to explain this.

pff no. I prefer to be free to modify my cars without ridiculous barriers placed in my way by the manufacturer.

I don't think you understood the thread.

[Aleks]

I thought they dropped the skyline part.

[redline]

So to everyone that said they would pay over MRSP do you have the money to pay 120K for a GTR?

[Euro_Trash]

I absolutely hate the argument that people don't like the GTR because you can't mod it. Modding a car like the GTR (or R8, 997TT, Z06, etc) is the last thing I would be thinking about.

Back on topic: no I wouldn't pay 30K over MSRP, but only because I have preferences for different cars in that price range

I was gonna say that too. Usually everyone would completely disregard the whole post and shit all over the fact there's no Skyline GTR.

[Inzane]

You'd have to be retarded to pay OVER sticker for a new car. I don't even pay sticker, let alone more.

Think about the depreciation. The 2nd or 3rd owner of the car is not going to care that the original owner paid MORE.

[xrayvsn]

They are offering the first GTR's for $119,900. You would have to really want the GTR to pay 50% over MSRP for it. I know a few people have turned it down, because when you pay that much for a car, you may want a little more than "goes really really stupid fast at the track".

I had the opportunity to take it, but I find that price ludicrous. I'm sure there are people willing to pay that much for it, but I'm not one of those people.

TOTALLY AGREE~~~

[atomic]

lol this thread is funny .


so let me get this straight, they'll void my waranty which means i'll have no warranty? so no warranty must been it's voided? but if it's voided, how do i have any warranty? geez, i just want to modify my car, i don't know why the dealership is charging me extra . do you think i can still get warranty if my warranty is voided? yeah i'd pay!

A guy I work with's dad bought one for MSRP. He did have to sign something saying he won't sell it for X amount of time unless it was back to Nissan though. I'm not sure the dealers are allowed to increase the price 50%.

The original contract was for MSRP - they then reneged and said they are selling it for $119,900. I laughed.

So Nissan changed the contract or is that up to the dealers? Either way that sucks.

[SinisterProbeGt]

They are allowed to sell over MSRP! suggested retail is only that suggested.
As far as warranty goes any second buyer of the GTR will not have any warranty. 2 years is the time that you have to sell it back to nissian but if you sell it after that the warranty does not transfer to the new owner regardless of the time frame.

You can mod it, tons of tuners in Japan have been busy creating their own unique r35's.

I wouldn't know since I haven't done much research (personally the car doesn't spark much interest), but I have been reading comments similar to this one all over the internet:

This comment may be a bit too general but north american tuners usually aren't the best when it comes to tuning a new model. They generally wait for the Japanese to do it then follow their example. HKS, Mines, Phoenix power, Sunny auto, Greddy all have modded R35's as show case cars. Granted the car isn't easy to mod like previous generation GTR's.

From what i understand the big issue they're having with the GT-R is the ECU tuning, AFAIK no one's been able to crack it yet.

[Toms-SC]

Nothing, next question.

I'd have to agree. It's like with new consoles. Silly people are paying over $1K for launch XBOX 360/PS3's when shortly after everyone else has one with better revised hardware at retail price. I'd rather wait and get a bug free GTR at retail. Good things come to those that wait.

[treg50]

^ If Nissan uses the same definition for 'bug-free' as Microsoft....

HKS has the Vpro available for teh R35 IIRC.

[The Cosworth]

yeah AFAIK a few people have gotten into it, it is just a lot of work so a basic flash wont happen.

It was in the P.A.S. with the Tokyo auto show in it.

as in I would be quite unwilling to pay even the sticker price for one of those.

[gpomp]

^unwilling or unable?

[SkittleFreak]

How about the Skyline GT-R Spec V?

2010 and not as much of a waiting list from what I hear

[C4S]

I hv talked to few dealers, local dealers here .. not a change to buy one .. they all said they will keep their GTRs in stock, wait for people to bid on them .. for more then MSRP ..

On the other hand, I have talked to dealers in Vancouver, somehow, they told me not that many people "beg" for the GTR, and one dealer told me, they may get 10-15 of them, but most likely, will sell to "friends" of the owner/managers ...

Well, will see in Sept!!

For sure, $85K is a bargain, but not $100K .. if over $100K .. I rather buy one in HK!!

[Ymerej47]

So if the dealer raises the sticker price to $120,000 then that makes the GTR one of the worst "bang for your buck" cars?? Yes, I understand that it does legitimately retail for way less than that but in reality the price you pay is the price you pay and that will justify the position it takes on the "bang for your buck" leaderboard. I guess my dreams still lie on the Z06 or ZR1.
