Reevaluating warranty maybe?

 

I don't believe the mark-up is the only reason the love-affair is over. As I was really interested in the GT-R as well... there were a couple of factors that went into my decision to stop looking for one, or even the consideration of buying one at 15-20k over sticker. I still think the GT-R is a great car, I just am over it, as I think Chris is.

my 2 cents.

 

Nope - that'd just delay a purchase. I am annoyed at (in no particular order):

Their sales "techniques"

Their ill-informed staff

Their crap service departments

Their ridiculous warranty "coverage"

Their obnoxious markup (almost 40%)

The list is endless. I've had absolutely ZERO of that crap from Porsche, Audi, Honda, Infiniti, even Mitsubishi!

 

right, i understand what you mean about the whole nissan buying experience being crap...but you can't fault the car for that. my only qualm with the GT-R is the lack of a manual transmission.

 

The car is still cool. It's everything that goes with it... It's kind of like M3s.

 

maybe... yahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaay

 

I heard from a good source that having them come down the assembly line voids the warranty.

 

 

Sales "techniques" do suck. After being sent to my bank to get "certified" check the sales manager refused to close the deal until I agreed to fill out a 6 page credit report. All that after an agreement to accept my personal check. So closing the deal at a favorable price point was a nasty experience.
Closed the deal after I told dealer to "take the F **kn (certified) check,yes or no?
Bye bye nasty selling dealer,based in San Diego County.

Introduced to GM, service mgr,certified tech & factory engineer when I showed up for service at a local dealer. Staff was well informed. Loaner car was a Maxima.When I returned I was handed a print out of alignment ( is/was) & other data. I am able to communicate with factory engineer & a couple of techs that know all about racing.

The warranty issues are not a good thing,OTOH the launch issues don't concern me. I am not a drag racer or street exhibitionist!
I have tracked the GT R and shall continue to do so. It's fun,as is myZ06. If I break them,I gotta pay. I plan to set up the car for at least a couple of open road race events next season.

Fun factor = 9

Congrats - your car is gorgeous... I really think Nissan could have done the right thing and sold this car as an Infiniti. They know customer service, the price point wouldn't be as shocking, etc.
