We knew it was bound to happen, but we didn't know to what extent Nissan dealers would be gouging enthusiasts here in the States for the first legal taste of GT-R goodness. Ty over at ExhuastNote decided to do some leg work to find out what markup retailers would be charging for the new Nissan GT-R, and after calling 15 dealerships throughout California, Florida, Illinois, Texas, Virginia and Washington the markups ranged from $20,000 to $60,000 over the GT-R's $69k base price. As Ty pointed out, that could get you a new 350Z and a Sentra.

With only 1,500 examples being available during the first year, this is no real surprise. Supply and demand is in full effect, and for the time being, only the most financially solvent and patient among us will be able to get their hands on Nissan's newest hotness

 

Absolutely ridiculous to be asking so much money over, not even for a GTR, but for ANY car

 

Markup's are always uncalled for.

That said, I look forward to the first real Japanese Supercar in years hitting our streets.

 

I'd rather have an R33 or R34, anyway, until the new one comes with a man pedal.

 

thats what I was thinking.

 

Tlaked to my dealere and he said he would sell me one for 20 over. Not that I would buy one but I guess that is a pretty good deal.

 

Thanks for ruining my night.......and my year............GOSH I WANT THAT CAR!!!!!

 

thats dumb, the ZR1 vette wont even be that much marked up, though the first one did sell for over 1 mill to a bidder. Id rather have the ZR1.

 

Give it two months after release Jon. They'll be at sticker or better.

Thats my plan!

 

thats because the buyer thought "900K tax receipt"
