One question though? You drive a GTR right? What year is it? You do know its a recycled car from 2009 that was 70k brand new. How much did you pay for yours? Probably a type R too much for it I’m assuming.
And I’m happy for you that you like it. Even below msrp is still considerably more expensive that it used to be. Basically for the same car. So the 5k extra on a type R is just a really moot point. Aside that its greed from a dealer. But hey that is their job to rip you off.2020 50th edition, purchased new in 2020...lmmfao and i love my 2009/2020 old GT-R....Paid 16k below MSRP...and its worth more today than when I brought it...its all good #jester04...
What I’m getting at its that everybody in the industry does it. In your case Nissan was the one marking it up not the dealer. Honda did it on the FL5 too. Price went up considerably from the FK8. Its all a crapshoot for the consumer.
yeah I agree, I hate ADM’s too. I refuse to pay them. But given the car and how hard it will be to find. Its so good out of the box that even with a 5k markup is worth it. I was lucky enough to only get a 1k markup and I was happy with the purchase.
By that logic, I suppose one could say the Type R is a recycled model from 2017 and that car was significantly cheaper.
It is, yet it has new sheet metal, wide body fenders that are molded and a different interior. Still honda marked it up more just like the gtr. So they are making more money. But from msrp to msrp no markups its about a 5k difference. Fk8 were around 38k brand new, fl5 is 43 and change. GTR money we are talking about the price almost doubling. From 70k to 120-130k. And its the same chassis with very minor upgrades and sheetmetal is the same.
this pricing will continue til the stock market bubble pops, so don’t hold your breath. With all the new dollars being printed, I think this is the new normal. Too many dollars, not enough cool cars.
Your post inspired me to look it up, and interestingly, in 2022 in response to inflation, the Fed stopped quantitative easing (printing money) and switched to quantitative tightening.
