Nissan attempts to keep dealers in line for price.

http://www.autoblog.com/2008/02/10/n...n-gt-r-orders/



Quote:
Hoping to alleviate fears of $60,000 fees tacked onto the $70,000 GT-R, Nissan North America spokesman Darryll Harrison spoke with Inside Line about the automaker's actions aimed at curtailing dealer markup. After all, Nissan worked hard to create a high performance machine that sits in a more affordable price range and it wants it to reach its originally intended consumers.
I hope they have been reading this board...:lol

Thanks Nissan guys if you did...:lol


Can almost see that dark grey GTR in my drive way now...:lol

Dealers will still have a mark-up.

Mark-up's are 100% profit for them, and if people are willing to pay the extra 5-20k for the car, then they will keep the mark-ups.

Yeah I can't justify liquidating all my investments just for a car... but the GTR is tempting!

And I'm sure there will still be markup, it just won't be as outrageous as some people feared.

Depending on the dealer, I would guess 15 to 30k markup when all is said and done.

The couple dealers in my area are taking bids only. One of them has a current bid of over $140k for the one they are getting.
