I think everyone would do $5K over and that's why it won't get the job done for awhile.

Markup?

I think Nissan is forcing the dealers to charge a markup,they have to recoup that CERTIFICATION money($20,000-$30,000)SOMEHOW? if they want to sell the GT R, ,not that I will pay it?
My guy that is working on it for me says that dealers are confused right now,only1500 for the US,HOW MANY DOES THAT MAKE PER DEALER? unless there is some dealer incentive, like what I do ot know?
I know the dealers are going to get their cut some how?
If I cannot get one in the first year what is going to happen next year?
I guess time will tell
Just My 2 cents

In my opinion I think it's the dealers only (has nothing to do with the manufacture) charging the markups. They are basically using the hype/demand towards their favor and trying to take all the money they can from you.

Also my gut is telling me, Nissan will miraculously increase production to accommodate orders, especially if demand is high. As far as getting one the following year, you never know. It may be a situation where 2 or 3 will be sitting on the lot after the dust from the hype settles. Dealers will then be looking to sell under MSRP instead of trying to mark them up. It happens all the time with other cars in the market, so there's no reason it won't happen for the GTR.

I only think this can be the case with the GT-R if other manufacturers can produce similar performing vehicles around $75K. So far only the Z06 is a legitimate competitor.

If Nissan really has to pay that much for certification of techs, then I bet the GTR will be shortlived in the states. It simply doesn't make financial sense.

That's what the guy in San Jose quoted me. Unless he wanted to tell me to "Go take a hike", he must've been somewhat serious.
