This is for anyone that thinks.....

[Texasscout]

...they are going to buy a new GTR for anywhere NEAR MSRP.

[dream_G35]

wow, so GTR's are gonna be selling in the 90's?!?!?

[Texasscout]

I would say more. The "Stealerships" will get at least 20 large just on the hype alone.

[RBull]

There probably are some parallels to the GTR. I don't doubt there will be strong mark up especially early on.

One difference is the history in N. America those muscle cars have.

[Skaterbasist]

This is reminiscent of what the GT500 went through. You have to be pretty insane to buy these Muscle cars for that much over MSRP.

Well the car will be expensive, the base is $69k, just to get folks on the lot.
But to remain competitive, the car must stay under $90k. You can't afford to
let your competition have a price advantage. The GTR will be high at first..
but with all technology, it will get less expensive with time and numbers avalible.
Another reason I am gonna wait a year.....or more.

Supply and demand will determine the price in the long run.

Supply = LOW (1500/yr)
Demand = HIGH (Tens of thousands i bet)

Therefore: Price: 20K over MSRP? - you betcha

Looks like I'll be shopping for one in 2010 or 2011 once the hype dies down....hell maybe Toyota or Honda has something really nice out by then

[reggiek]

All people have to do is be patient.
When the G37 was about to be released, dealers were talking about insane prices to get one of the early arrivals. When the car didn't sell as well as the G35 did when released, you now see prices at normal MSRP.

Looks like you're wrong:

$10K over MSRP. Not a bad markup at all

How is he wrong?

That is an auction for the RIGHT to pay MSRP+$10,000 for a new GTR.

So you will have MSRP ($70,000+freight+dealer installed options+options on the car) + $10,000 + what ever the bid ends up being.

EDIT: WTF does "This auction is to Bid on the "Deposit" of an allocation." mean?

Some how I think they have the capacity to make more, they just want
to make the demand high by making 1500 for 2008.

You may see that car numbers go up for 2009 or 2010 to meet the demand.
And it will look good PR wise too...by announcing such a increase.

As for Honda and Lexus coming up with their own supercars, this will be all
the more reason to keep the price under $90k for the base model.

Remember the 2 other GTR versions are still waiting to come up
in the following years.

I can see the GTR EVO at $100k easy....and faster.....:lol

That means you're bidding on the deposit amount... meaning whatever you end up winning the auction for goes towards the purchase of the car, so you ONLY pay MSRP + $10K, the "auction" is your deposit -- it is included in the MSRP+$10K price.

Canadian dealerships are taking orders as well. When asked what the final price will be, they claim they don't know. I get the impression, the $10,000 is just to let them know you are serious and they will sell the car to you at MSRP - exactly - when they get them.

[O HELLA OEM]

i want one =[
