Expect dealers to mark up the new GTR

posted in European Sports Cars, News |

 2008 Nissan Skyline GTR Front

The new Skyline GTR $70,000-plus sports car powered by a 473-hp, 3.8-liter V-6 teamed with a six-speed automatic. It’s got a 0-62 time of only 3.5 seconds and only 1500 are expected to be sold in the US in the first year.

Originally, Nissan was going to try to stop people from selling their GTRs in the first year or risk voiding the warranty, but decided it wouldn’t be fair to people who really had to sell their cars. This means that people will try to buy and sell the GTR for profit.

They are also expecting to counsel dealers on pricing, but are powerless to stop dealers from marking up the cost of the car, because it’s an extremely hyped up car and in the fast year out is very desirable.
