Holy s*** 20K over sticker?!
Holy s*** 20K over sticker?!Crazy as it seems I was almost maybe not even hr from signing the paper from owning the GTR by Trading in the F.
But the problems are 3:
1.Dealer was askin whopping $20K over the sticker price
2.It's was sold by the time I get there
3.One year waiting list with no guarantee
Same Color as my F..Starfire Pearl, if the such color exist for GTR..Holy s*** 20K over sticker?!What color was the one you were looking at? I don't think the F is a bad car at all to stick with for 2 years or so

That is insane!But the Sales Mgr told me I was in luck as they also had a double silver one there that I could buy! Cool, let's look it over. They walked me accross the street to their new car prep area and behind a curtain was a just off the truck silver one being washed and cleaned up. The sticker read $79850.00 but I was quickly told to buy the car would take at least $40K OVER sticker or no deal. I said that was a 50% mark up, could they be serious??? Sure enough they were. Without laying down at least a 50% deposit on the car they wouldn't even let me sit in it.... They claimed to have a LONG waiting list and they were really doing me a favor even talking to me and showing me the car... I jokingly said "how about sticker plus $10K?" to which the Sale Mgr said "come back where you are serious" and turned and walked away......
$40K? WTF! What are they fu**in Nuts? For that I can get a BMW M6 or a AMG edition Benz..Nissan dealership down your area bro, can suck my co*k..While driving past the local Nissan dealer on Saturday I noticed a black GTR being moved to their new car delivery area so I hit the brakes and went in for a look see. They told me the black one was sold and in fact the new owner was there ready to pick it up. Sure enough he was! It was Donald Sutherland of Mash fame picking up a new black GTR!

Quite frankly IMHO for $120,000.00 there are a LOT of other car possibilities beside a Nissan GTR....... The experience only made me apprecaite my Lexus IS-F a bit more.....
Ironic thing is that IF I knew how to drive manuel I would of gotten BMW M3 which with Full option goes for $78K before tax so which means it will be around $82k and some change..Before that I was in Transit for a Range Rover Supercharged the Regular model not the Sport which was around $95K with Tax but with some issue involved MAINLY GAS PRICE I did not want it..I know what you meen man. I never thought much of the f and I thank my wife because if she didn't have that appointment I would have never even thought about stepping into the lexus dealership. Literally when I saw the is-f it practically sold when I saw it I was brought and when I drove it I was sold. I paid 7k over sticker price 65K and now im only waiting for the phone call. My wife even wants one
Nice.I am sure that the Nissan "experience" is worth the mark-up.LMAO.
Personally I'd advice that you don't let your wife drive the F when you get it bro..This car is VERY POWERFUL! Once the engine is broken in, there is nothing like it(I call it the Lion's Roar on 3500 RPM).My pattern of driving is I put the car on Sport mode and then use Paddle shifters to control the RPM..It's Very Frightening..Only Other car I had this type of rush was from my Friend's CLS55 AMG..More Frightening than the F..No joke! If you do, make sure that the ENGINE IS BROKEN IN properly..I was also in the market for the m3 test drove one I actually loved the power not much the styling thoe and and the interior just didn't feel worth the price I still have my 06 335i and when I got in the m3 I didn't feel like I was in something new.
About my wife idk what to get her yet she's a junkie for power but she's alittle reckless on the road (you knowwomen always thinking they can drive like men) lol so im alittle scared if I get her it she may go over board so when I get my f im gonna let her do a few runs with it but I did offer her the is350 I told her that she can even get the 135i but she's like no thanks.lol its funny cause she swears im rich asking me to buy her pink diamond lol
Too late...Personally I'd advice that you don't let your wife drive the F when you get it bro..This car is VERY POWERFUL!
