Heres the deal. I need your help finding a nissan gtr that doesn't have a ridiculous markup. Why? Because you are a fool if you pay 20,000 over sticker like some are selling for. So if any of you guys help find me a GT-R that is selling for what the car is really worth then in exchange once broken in we'll take you for a nice little test drive..Hell you can also get a drive in the m5 if you want.

I work at a Nissan dealership... theres no way even if hell freezes over that the owner of woodbury nissan would let any of our 5 GT-R's go for sticker price that we're going to be getting... besides.. all of them are already sold for sticker +ALOT... I doubt if there are any (American) GT-R's of the first batch that are unsold... as far as i know they are all pre ordered and leaving pretty much as soon as they are delivered

I don't think the markup will go down with the following years either if nissan does what they said they would, and that is making it a limited run and a limited number a year.

Oneil Nissan in Warminster is getting 110K for the GTRs.

Good luck.

The Captain · 07-26-2008, 10:16 AM

What's your plan, if you do find one? Buy and then sell it with an additional 20-30k on top?

Well, I can look in KS and MO to see if there are any crazy mid-westerners paying over sticker. Actually, I think I remember one of the managers onsite at this client being friends with a Nissan salesman...hmmm....

Did anyone read Car and Driver? Nissan lied! The GT-R isnt even fast. It ran a 12.6 NOT a 11.8. Its not worth 80k!

No, but I just read Import Tuner's article about it.

Quote:

...on XS Engineering's all-wheel-drive Dyno, the r35 cranked out a heaving 412.1
hp at 6,527 rpm and 388.7 lb-ft torque at 4,050 rpm at the wheels. Not bad
considering it translates to a less than 15 percent loss through an all-wheel-drive
powertrain--OE claimed figures are 480 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque.

your point?

that is the only article out of the plenty ive read and watched in where the testers couldnt hit AT LEAST an 11.8 in the 1/4 and 3.5 0-60 time.....one magazine test doenst mean every single one is slow...that particular one maybe...remember each engine is hand built, no 2 motors are gonna be the same....

look at the other reviews out there instead of taking one bad reviews word for it....

LOL!!! so your telling me when i buy a GT-R its a gamble whether i get an 11.8 second car or a 12.6 second car? HILARIOUS.

No, Car and Driver have been doing test since before you were born, they know what they are talking about much better than some Import Tuner. (no offence to Import Tuner). Most of the quarter mile times given were not actual tests, they were estimated figures given to the magazines by Nissan.

Every motor is HAND built in a hermetically sealed LAB. Each transmission is unique to the car its produced in. GT-Rs have tested anywhere from 470-507 brake horsepower as of now; Hence the variation in quarter mile times. Learn to read more than one magazine next time you talk.

omgjacki · 07-26-2008, 01:00 PM

So you're saying is Car and Driver says 12.6 it's 12.6? But if everyone else says otherwise, they're still right?

SpEcRv9's got a point. They are all hand built, so they won't all be the same. I don't know about a .8 second difference, but not everyone is going to be the same.

It also depends on how they're calculating it. You should know that track and dyno numbers aren't the same. The one Import Tuner did was on an AWD dyno with a RWD car. Maybe if they would have actually used a 2-wheel dyno they would have gotten better numbers.

The GT-R is a AWD car it needs a AWD dyno to be dyno'd. It launches in AWD and then reverts to RWD during driving.

For real? I must have missed that part of the article.

Each motor is hand built by ONE person. By running the vin on the gtr they can tell us who built it and everything about that motor. Does that mean two motors will be different? Nope. Each motor and car has to meet specs. Doesn't mean a bad motor can't slip past..but it really shouldn't

P.S. Find us a car

drew32 · 07-26-2008, 01:03 PM

No i'm saying Car and Driver are the first to actually test the car on their track and not go by what Nissan said it is supposed to run.
