I'm looking to get a GT-R for my daily driver (I was going to go with an M3, but the test drive of an '11 GT-R sold me). The question is...can I even get ahold of one? No local dealers have any '12s stock or on the way, except for one with a black edition coming in 2 months. Has the tsunami shut down all production? Are the cars being scanned for radiation? Even large local dealers indicate that they only get a couple of car per year...is this typical?

 

I see your in south FL. I just looked at a white 2012 and black 2012 at Pines Nissan. Check them out, I was looking for the blue 2012 which they didn't have.

 

Ok thanks!

 

There was a black 2012 at the South Charlotte Nissan a week ago.

 

There was a delay of some shipments... And yes, it is typical that dealers get an annual allocation of 2 or 3 GT-R's. Some get more than others. I know that a nearby dealer lost their GT-R tech (and hence their GT-R status), so they forfeited their allocations, which were then given to the dealer local to me.

 

Thanks all...I'll keep looking.

 

Cars.com has ~ 133 New ones listed and one Black Edition in NC

 

We have the opposite problem here in LA. Some dealers have as many as 6 2012 GTRs on the lot. However, they are asking $20K over sticker....

 

Unfortunately, this car (even three years later) is still in demand in some areas... I guess that could be a good thing.

(I recall, on this very forum - there was a LOT of speculation that the car wouldn't get sold, the resale would be $30k in 3 years, reliability sucks, etc... Apparently, they were all wrong. They just didn't want to hear about it.)

 

Nice Tahoe!

Hope to see it at a local meet sometime! I too was debating between a GTR and an M3 but i'm not at GTR payment status yet haha M3 it is!

Good luck!

 

So is it so reliable to be my only car???? and i heard it,s expensive to change the oil and crap i forgot what was the downfall?!?!?!?

 

Get a honda or toyota - if you are worried about the price of oil changes.

 

While DvH is a little extreme, my car is my daily - which I track occasionally as well.

My oil changes are $31 for oil, $10 for filter, and $28 for my local tuner to change it.

 

I have a 2012 as my daily and it is an amazing car. Perfect for a daily! My poor 997S hasn't been driven in weeks! The performance is amazing!

 

Are they still charging way over MSRP for these things? Or has that settled down. The GTR is a much bigger car in person. Really surprised me.
