so you buy a car that's supposed to beat $100,000.00 cars, and you pay $100,000.00 for the car whats the point?

This is not about the manufacturer, this is probably a bunch of good customers with cash in hand that were willing to buy the car and got fed up of such ilicit dealers business and probably they already made a complaint on the business bureau.

The customer has a lot of rights and I wouldn't be surprised if someone with some knowledge of law is forcing the dealers to bring the prices down or face business or court complaints. There must be a limit in which you can sell a car, I am not really sure/convinced if Nissan corporation from Japan actually likes the marketing strategy abroad.

All that I am saying is that this car should be sold for a reasonable real market price. I can say one thing though, I predict a mediocre aftermarket on this car, the parts will directly reflect the mark up as well, exhaust for thousands of dollars, headers for thousand of dollars, expensive tunes etc.

they go for 90 at esserman miami on the 826 and palmetto
and every dealer has mark up on every car..

Botton line, I haven't seen a car in any dealer that sells for about 55% more of what the manufacturer projected. Is like getting a base model Evo for $47000..just like that!!

Supply and demand people supply and demand. I'm sure there would be someone out there that would pay that for sure.

For example at this moment US dealers could export them to the UK and people WILL pay 60,000 GBP (roughly $120,000) for US GTR. Look here http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/list.asp?s=783

So why sell them for retail here in the US? In my opinion I think that the GTR is worth $100,000+ and nissan are giving them away at RRP. Tell me what car can you buy at $100,000 that better than a GTR in respect for what it actually is... I'd consider a Porsche but what else?

You would be a damn fool to buy that car at that price, but hey they always have idiots out there with money to burn so let em feel the burn. Too many dumb rich people.

If I had the money, I don't think I'd care about the markup as long as I get to be one of the first with the car.

the 2010's MSRP is around 84k without markup. around here the 2009's sold for MSRP at around 73k or so.

in the next few years i may convince myself to pull the trigger on one. i'll be sure to put a lot down though. no way i'd want a 2000 car note lol
