why do you think a dealership would sell you a car for $70K when they have people lining up to pay $90K+ for it?
then you most likely will not be getting a brand new one anytime soon. |

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.

Exactly! Limited number supply/production means higher demands/waiting list. I'm seeing this the same way when the NSX was first introduced, high dealer mark up for a sought after sports car. I still remember going into Davis Acura in Langhorne with an old filthy rich friend, they wanted 20K over sticker for one. This said friend was willing to pay 10K over sticker cash, dealer wouldn't even budge one bit. The dealer knew that they could sell the car for what they wanted. That old friend settled on a Porsche instead. Just saying that these Nissan dealerships that have the GT-R on hand may not have any room to haggle, nor just don't want to deal with it. They will sell the car as need fit to whom ever is willing to pay their marked up price.

lol@ people thinking hand-built engines varying.
I guess they dont realize they need to be built to an exact specification, or within a certain tolerance. Good luck to you, sir.

This is not a debate about a car none of you have ever driven, and probably never even been inside. It is a networking request so if you dont have help or feedback that is ON TOPIC then drop it. The GT-R argument is old news, especially among those without any personal experience.

Your best bet (like mentioned above) is to start calling around the country for dealers in no mans land to see if they will sell it for msrp which is just a SUGGESTED price not what they are worth. What its worth is individual to the person buying it. They are selling for over 100k so to alot of people with the money its worth it. Also go to the dealers and make an offer in person with all finances in order ready to go. You might be surprised. Not to mention it’s for a shop/test bed for moding so you could throw in a sort a promotional aspect to it like advertising for them or having the car on display at the dealer after its built.
Also, get White ![]() And not to beat a dead horse but anyone that thinks what a Magazine gets for test results is dead on needs to learn more about cars, how they perform and how every driver will get different results. NEVER use what a magazine says as fuel for what YOU know.

I buy and sell a lot of cars for my company and did a quick look for you on what they selling for. A couple have hit auction and are selling well over $100k on the block. Every dealer is listing the car out at least $15k over MSRP. You're dealing with one of the hottest cars on the market right now with an extremely limited supply. There are people mortgaging their houses to buy this car. I'm buying about 30 Nissan's (and have bought about 100 cars from his dealer network in the past year) and just for S&G's I asked him what he could sell me a GT-R for. He pointed to the sticker on the car and said not a penny less. So, as "hooked up" as you are doesn't really matter when you are asking for a $20k favor.
Since it's for your business you need to weigh the pros and cons of the purchase. You may be able to wait it out a little bit and pick one up at MSRP or a little more, however it will delay your parts development. Or, you can take the plunge, pay what they are asking and get your product to market faster than other people, hoping that being one of the first will give you a better return. Also, if you buy the car now and do what you need to do with it as a product mule (don't DD it however) you could probably flip the car modded or stock and break even on your purchase (maybe even make money) if you act quick.
