sticker $76K

this one is sold for $99K

yeah. the salesman is gonna get like 10K commission or something. and he's a total mook.

GT-ARRRrrrrrrrrr!


(it looks like its waiting in line at the bank btw)

Full of Boner dents !!

Probably a dumb question... why did it sell for so much over the sticker price?

99K - 76K = 23K.

availability

we're one of the largest dealers in the region, and we get 6 this year. we've taken 15+ deposits for right of first refusal.



it's a really really cool car. beats the porsches that cost 30k more.


look for it on youtube.

Top Gear's opinion
And even at the higher price, still cheaper in the US than the UK.
Tax I guess.

You can switch back and forth? I thought people who liked to drive stick were die-hards who would never drive automatic, even if they were just going to "potter into town."

I prefer to drive stick (manual). but the automatic is better for when you're trying to eat breakfast and organize your purse (sort out yer handbag).

it has paddle shifters on the steering wheel, but you can just let it go auto if you want.

Cool, that means they've put the CVT into the top car, they must be pretty confident about it.

I don't think they've built a CTV that will handle 500 horsepower.
I believe it has a rear mounted, 6 speed, dual clutch, semi-automatic, that is computer controlled, with manual controls that will override the computer to some extent. But, I'll bet the computer will intervene if you're being stupid enough to damage the drive-train.

what bruce said.

the CVT is Constant Velocity Transmission. it doesn't appear to shift. like a cone gear.

the gtr has gears.

The coolest thing imo about the cvt is not speeding up when you go down a hill. The not shifting thing... meh. Doesn't seem natural.

:yum:

Nice car.

I agree: let me shift!

Maaaaaaannnnn. I need to go change my panties. Why'd they go and put charcoal rims on it though? And Corvette tail lamps. Barf.

CVT has ruined me. I'll never drive anything else. Zoooooom!!

Nissan Australia are seeking *interest* in this thing at the moment, its gonna be astronomical here though.

I'm a bit more excited about the HSV W427 at the moment....I want to put those wheels on my SS.

Red Leather interior is a bit blerg though.

Hey, they've put the steering wheel on the wrong side!

LJ, do the honchos over there allow you guys a short test spin in the GT-R before they admit to the public that they have one?

Wonder what they pay in Russia?

nope. the buyer of these cars is going to resent every mile on them. the ONE technician that has completed the training gets to put 3 or 4 miles on each one. The GM, The GSM and that tech are the only ones allowed to drive it. ::slowjerk::

Yeah, it's a nice showroom.

GT-R-Done!

wanna buy a black GT-R cheap?

In automatic? How about no!

they're all automatics

If you have a very deep waiting list for right of first refusal, why list one on ebay?

all of the deposits they had went tits up, i guess. it's a sign of the times, i'm afraid.

I read they're having issues with Launch Control reliability and too much use of it will void the warranty. Seems shady to me.

Brianna, that's no reason to delete a post :)

ioi...ioi...sorry.

Shady? I don't think they designed the car to do that. I think that the top gear videos demonstrating the technique mention limiting the times they pulled it. It's very hard on the car, and done just to achieve a quick time.

we sold that one, btw. to a tin man.

Why would Nissan make it possible for the driver to turn of the VDC, if they don't want anybody to do that?
Jim, does Cherry Hill make the buyer sign a waiver?

i don't know about that particular one.....Mike has caught both of the GTR deals we've done.....might be part of the thing the General Manager does with the buyer. it's got it's own delivery process......

So who wants to buy me one of these cars for Christmas?? Hmmm??

There was one at Buttonwillow Raceway on Sunday. Young guy was driving it during a speedventures track day. We called it the "understeer special". It needed a little suspension work because it pushed like a dump truck!! Fast on the straights though!! Good looking car. Great sound.
