You have as much of a chance of getting a GTR at msrp as an ice cube in hell... at least until the hype dies down, and that's going to be a long time from now.

I went to a dealer in town, they told me they could get me any color I wanted in 24 hrs for MSRP. I also look on autotrade.com in my area, 2 or 3 dealers have them in stock at MSRP.

Funny, but that's completely contradictory to what's been discussed ad nauseum on the NAGTROC forum. Plus, the price on Auto Trader is not what they will sell the car for, it is MRSP... also a topic beaten to death on NAGTROC.

People have been able to pre-order them at MSRP but I think those dealers have quite the waiting list at this point (as Goodwood stated, lots of info at Nagtroc...)

Don't recall anyone stating that they walked into a dealer and got an in stock car without any mark-up, but who knows, catch them at the end of the month and perhaps anything is possible.

Best of luck

There are several people offering multi-thousand dollar bounties for any deal <$5K over. You should parlay your find into free money....

Untrue. I work for Flemington BMW (Flemington Car and Truck Country) in NJ and the 2 GT-R that our nissan dealership across the street sold at MSRP> The owner does not charge over list on any he sells. Z8/Z8 Alpina. GT3 RS (the only one the got which my customer bought in silver and orange) and Ford GT we all delivered at list price. Everything is pre sold but always at MSRP even the CGT if you wanted one was at list and not a penny over. So there must be an ice cube in hell. The ZR1 corvette same thing.

Oh, so you DO have an IN STOCK GTR for sale at MSRP? Ha Ha, I seriously doubt that. That's what the OP was asking you know.

I was curious, so called them up. When I asked if they had cars on the lot at MSRP, I was laughed at. Salesperson said only owner of dealership could talk about GT-R and that all three cars they had sold were pre ordered months in advance.

He said "Unlike some dealers, we weren't charging crazy markups like $20-25K over"

Sounds like they sold their allotment at/near MSRP but he said "We are re-evaluating how we sell future cars." Not sure what that means, but I suspect the "new plan" may include some mark-up.

So, in summary, they MAY have sold some cars at MSRP, but it sounds like that are thinking about raising premiums. And they definitely don't have any cars on lot or imminently inbound that are not spoken for.

I think this is consistent with the rest of the country.

MSRP (especially the revised up one) is definitely getable, but it's hard to know whether you need to wait 3 months or 12 months to get that deal.

The way the market is now ?I would count on MSRP or less. Look at R8's and Challengers.

Ya, let's look at R8's. Last I heard they were 50k over. Don't even try to compare a POS super mass produced Dodge Challenger to either one of these other fine cars, it's not even in the same universe.
