who will fork up the dough, and what amount is too expensive

[handinpants]

With the new gtr being market up as high as $50k over sticker, who on zilvia is actually going to buy one of these, and what are you willing to pay?

[Fries]

This refers to the Nissan 240sx or Nissan Z how?

Off topic, please.

[JRas]

not many can afford one on here

if we could we wouldn't be driving 240's :P

[lflkajfj12123]

there's a member here who's on the list to get one

[origin_s135]

my brother was, but he ended up getting a CL600.

[Jonnyblaze]

if i could afford one id get a c6 z06 instead

[handinpants]

the dealership i worked for, ( quit yesterday) they allowed people to prepay for the car, and then when they came to take delivery on their cars, the dealership said that those prepaid cars are now $115k and that if you want the car you "prepaid for" you have to pay more to get it.... that's fucked... i can't work for someone that shady...

[MegasquirtCA]

A few ballers on Nico are getting them.

in canada something like that happend but the dealers bought up 9. paid in full, then were told the price changed to something higher

[sr20boostn20]

everybody has a z06, you wanna be like everybody else.

and plus all the ones iv pulled up to on the highway are slow, except for the one with the 100 shot of n2o he was within a car length

[idahotuner]

but what abouta twin turbo zo6 lol plus the vetts are more tuner friendly then the new gtr

[Brian]

lol

people here complain about $200 bumpers....
I'm sure they can afford a $100k GTR though.

[nismo tuned s14]

my goal is to get a 2011 in 2014 lol

[fliprayzin240sx]

Even if I can afford it, ill wait for the stick shift. I'd rather drive the car than have some computer drive for me...

[ErocKs13]

^ i agree with him. when will the stick version come out?

[S14DB]

I'm one to bend the dealership over not have the dealership bend me over. I wouldn't consider till I could haggle on it. I also like not having a payment for the last 6yrs...

[mRclARK1]

Basically exactly what I was going to post.

[BustedS13]

ding ding

and if i could afford it and they made a stick shift... well i guess i'd go with that instead of a z06, but it'd be a tough choice.

[airsoft]

I'll just get a R35 body kit for my Honda Civic.

I'll add that ebay Nissan Civic flame thrower kit.

[Yuri]

$115k at the dealer?!

Screw that, this one comes with manual, and will save you $15k.

AM vantage. Yum. By far the sexiest car around. I absolutely love the rear fenders!

[an_orange_s2k]

i'd buy an AM before i spend $100k on a nissan

[JeremyR]

i'd buy an AM before i spend $100k on a nissan

i think anyone would!

i know the gt-r is the new "poormans super car (in the same sense that a corvette is as well) but 50% markup? thats such bullshit, they're cashing in on the og gran turismo crowed who have been fanboys since the game came out and can now afford it. once it depreciates (and it WILL) in a few years i'll pick one up. 30k-50k is more along my price range.

[0100]

Blah you are posting this in July 08. lol You are a good 8 months behind. All the moves to buy a GTR were made about 8 months ago. I will say I was really looking to buy one. I contacted no less than 40 dealerships via email, phone and in person as a very serious buyer. The best deal I could get was 15k over and that was only from 3 the rest want big money over. Fuck that. Go shop on zilvia car for sale section and see what car you can get for 15k. No way in bloody hell could I live with myself knowing I dished out 15k to a stealership. Especially when they didn't give 2 shits about the GTR and what it means to Nissan. All they cared about (and still do) was how much money it will bring them. It was down right ugly if you ask me. That alone pushed me away, and I know pushed other potential buyers away on the GTR forums. On top of it 99% of the managers (yes you could only talk to a manager about buying a GTR) had know clue of any of the specs of the GTR. I love Nissan, but can't stand dealerships ANY dealership and this was as bad as it gets. Basically you have a dealership that is use to pushing altimas and now has a 997tt to sell. They have no fucking idea what they are doing. Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, even BWM is use to selling high end cars. What I experienced was a complete circus act. No exaggeration.

I love the GTR and someday will probably buy a used one, that way I avoid the dealership all together.

[0100]

Let's see have a GTR and give the dealership $15k for no good reason.

OR

Buy a GTR at MRSP (it's been done) or used GTR down the road and have something like this parked next to it. http://zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=198830

[muddafakka]

Fuck paying over sticker. I can wait.

And even if I had the money, I'd rather wait for the V-Spec.

Hell, I'd be content with a TT Z06. Hello, APS.

Anything north of a 100 grand, I'm no longer considering a Nissan.

But alas, I'm just a poor college student. Meh.

[zero.counter]

Give it a couple of years, considering depreciation and lowered interest by that time...then look into it again. The guy that commented on people bitching about the cost of bumpers was right, most shouldn't even worry about this car other than dreaming. It is a great looking car, IMHO.

To address those who want stick instead of the computer assisted shifting, unfortunately it is now and will continue to be a part of life. That issue has been discussed/debated to death around the web. There are reasons for going in that direction.

[Yuri]

Anyone considering actually paying $115k for a GTR, please hear me out first.
You can either be known as "that guy with the GTR," or for $1k less, you can be known as that total baller with the awesome car collection.
I've put together a collection of cars that will probably be more fun than a GTR, and will be way more impressive parked in your driveway than a single GTR.

$64k for all out awesomeness
http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x158/DKapt/6349803345230214568IM107565x421_A56.jpg

$25k for when you need a change of pace from your 911 turbo
http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x158/DKapt/7710642801243643691IM1MAIN565x421_A.jpg

$18k For long trips and impressing the ladies
http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x158/DKapt/7076470076241620483IM1MAIN565x421_A.jpg

$7k for fuel economy with style
http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x158/DKapt/7808781558247832391IM1MAIN565x421_A.jpg

A driveway filled with a 911 turbo, M3, XKR, and TT turbo would be way cooler than one with just a new GTR.

[usdm180sx]

I'm not too fond of the 996 series porsches. They were the first of the water cooled dohc flat 6 models and the n/a motors had problems. The 996 turbo motor is different, but still, the 996 series doesn't hold resale value. The 993 and 997 are where it's at.

[stiizy]

I'm with Yuri!!! or i'd get one of these

http://robson.m3rlin.org/cars/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/range_rover_sport_arden_2006_1.jpg

and one of these
http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/image39634_b.jpg

And still have like 5-6k in my pocket!

[muddafakka]

Before I shell out $115,000 for a GT-R...

I'd get this ($82,000)
http://www.vettefacts.com/images/2006-black-z06-corvette.jpg

and this ($19,000)
http://image.automobilemag.com/f/car-ramblings-reviews/three-wee-ones/1022376+w550+cr1+re0+ar1/honda-fit-sport.jpg

...and have $14,000 left over for mods, a bike, or whatever.

Note that $82k and $19k are the results of pricing to my own specifications.

Another option could be getting a regular C6 coupe for $63k along with the Fit Sport and having $33k left over...give the C6 twin turbos courtesy of APS, some nice wheels/bbk, and still have money left over.

[bloodangels13]

love the GTR but way to rich for my blood..... solution: buy a nicely optioned c6 vette then buy & install the aps TT kit, wider wheels and tires, zo6 brakes w/ aftermarket rotors, slam it...... pow you got a almost 700whp monster on a budget

[S14DB]

I dunno if I would want the Insurance on 4 cars vs 1.

[sub9lulu]

I dunno if I would want the Insurance on 4 cars vs 1.

if u are the only one thats list in the household, insurance will be way cheaper than u think

[Homer_Simpson]

http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x158/DKapt/aston-martin-vantage-v8.gif
and get you some ass too.

[dynamicck]

Anyone see the Corvette ZR1 on the Nurburgring??
For over 100k, i'd consider a 620hp corvette (added bolt ons...can easily do 700+)

[KA24DESOneThree]

One of the companies I work for supposedly has one on order to be delivered to our showroom.

I'll let you know how it is.
