Nissan officially announced on Friday that it will begin U.S. deliveries of its GT-R supercar on July 7th. The “base” model GT-R will list from $69,850 while the up-level GT-R premium will carry an MSRP of $71,900. Both cars also carry a $1,000 destination charge.
Surprisingly, Nissan has not completely sold out the U.S.’ first year allotment, with 30 percent of the GT-R’s headed to America still up for sale. That means that about 700 lucky Americans still have a chance to put one of the best performing cars on the planet in their driveway.
However, thanks to hefty dealer markups, the privilege of owning Nissan’s most potent sports car will cost buyers at least a few thousand over sticker.

I can’t wait to see what the markups are on these. The way people bitched and cried about the markup on the cobras when they came out and how evil dealers are and how big a slime bag the salespeople are. It will be interesting to see the way the import fanboys spin the nissan dealers as the second coming of christ and how the gtr is going to reverse green house gasses an so on.

If there are still 700 of these unspoken for who the f*ck would pay a premium?

Over here we’ve had these in the showrooms about 2 months ago. Their sticker price after tax and markups is $195K. I’m not kidding… the dealers are saying they’re couldn’t get enough units and I’ve actually seen someone using it on the track.

I’d like to know which dealerships still have allotments. If they are being grade A dicks about mark-up, then why does corporate reassign those cars to dealerships who ‘play nice’ and charge MSRP like corporate strongly urged them to do in the first place?
Personally, if I did have the cash and there is already a waiting list, I might as well wait a little longer and pony up a little more for the V-spec. Wife has already vetoed me but I came out well with a G37 6MT instead (compromise). Perhaps if I win the ‘Big Game’ lotto, I might be able to swing a GT-R with the mark-up, too … LOL.

Crash, Wtf??? Oh yeah sure, what slimeballs the salespeople are for selling the cars at fair market value. Its called supply and demand, dolt. No one is forcing them to buy a 500 hp car.

Sounds like its not selling quite as well as dealers hoped, which means their stupid markups will disappear soon. You’ll probably be able to buy one at sticker within 6 months. You may have to wait a while for delivery, but you’ll get it at sticker. Two years from now, they will be discounted.

What I want to know is where all the people are with the gas mileage complaints. If this was the Challenger, Camaro, or any truck, there would be all kinds of hell raised on here about, “Don’t people know gas is $4 a gallon?” Import humpers.

Jon,
What is was saying was sarcastic. I was referring to when the gt500 came out and everybody on here was complaining about how ford and their salespeople were selling the car with a dealer mark-up. I agree with you totally that if someone is willing to buy at that price why should i get in the way. The point I was trying to make was the completely different attitude towards import dealers and domestics on this site. While ford is a scumbag for drawing 20k over for a gt500, Nissan is just doing the “market demand” presentation and that is ok.
