Plan B


In my situation where I have a sister in the US;
I could buy in the fall (in her name) & store it at her place for the winter (instead of here).
It'd be ready to import Apr or May c/w warranty & ready for Summer

NISSAN
- Delayed Warranty Coverage
Nissan Canada
1-800-387-0122
5290 Orbitor Drive,
Mississauga, ON L4W 4Z5

Nissan vehicles must first be registered in U.S. for coverage to apply. If the car moves to Canada after it is six months old the warranty will be valid. However, if a U.S. market car is brought to Canada and sold before the car is six months old, the warranty will be void.

INFINITI
-
Warranty Coverage

Infiniti Canada
1-800-387-0122
5290 Orbitor Drive,
Mississauga, ON L4W 4Z

Warranty applies with U.S. warranty limits. Four years/60,000 miles bumper to bumper and six years/70,000 miles on the powertrain.
yeah.. i know about the nissan warranty situation. it's designed to thwart any new cars coming to canada. if you want to go into all the hoop jumping to get the car in .. then by all means.

ian's plan b .. would be an excellent option if he was interested in trading in his M for the GTR.

I really like that one. What about taxes on buying a used vehicle? Here the second purchaser would have to pay tax on the retail value of the car. Our government loves to collect tax over and over on the sale of vehicles. That's a lot of coin.

You'd be paying the HST when you import, regardless.
There are some states that are tax free on the initial purchase...
so shouldn't be any difference.

Also.... you're buying a used car from your relative...
= depreciated value bill of sale

Anyways....back to the topic of the thread, I just wanna know the approx number of GTR's coming to Canada...I am serious about getting one, but if production is soo limited and I'll get charged an arm, leg, and my left nut in dealer markups to get one....then I might have to look at other cars.
I remember when the Acura NSX first came out....the dealerships were charging thousands over invoice.....Maybe I'll have to wait a couple years for the GTR to "cool" down then get one??......I'll only buy NEW

Yeah, sorry about the

I imagine production allocations will be available at some point.
You can bet numbers won't be very big coming into Canada though.
This car is fitting into a narrow segment.

Like any hyped up new car entry like the GT-R... there will be some rape & pillage.
For me, I don't *have* to have the newest car on the block.
JMO, but I'd do a short term lease on something else now,
wait for the dust to settle & the bugs to get worked out.

I agree with the suggestion to just hang in there for a bit to let the gouging soften a bit and to discover if there are any issues that pop up with this car.

No kidding about the small allotments in Canada. It's 1500 in the US so we will be lucky to have 100-150 cars.
