Nope. It's just what they think people will pay to get one! We'll see how long it'll last...

It wasn't too long ago when these were selling for 15k over... Now look...

Hey I hope you're right and I will check this thread periodically. Simple supply and demand econ 101 makes it seem as if it won't be available near MSRP anytime soon however. Only 1500 cars at select dealers around the country. Here in the SF Bay Area, there are way too many Google millionaires to compete with anyways!!!

I see! I would not invest extra on the mark up prices... I would rather wait it out.

Comparing a mass-produced Chevy to a limited production "Skyline" probably isn't a legitimate one. I agree that the "buzz" will end eventually, but I think it'll take a couple of years at least.

in australia we were told by a reputable magazine that we should expect to pay around AU$150k, with the current exchange rate at about 85-90 thats about US$130k.

What about a limited production run Ford?

Here's a new one:

Bankston Nissan of Lewisville, TX told me that they were very concerned about customers taking GT-Rs and then flipping them for profit.

So, in turn, THEY ARE GOING TO DO 'MARKET ADJUSTMENTS' AND JACK UP THE PRICES THEMSELVES.

Who the hell are they kidding? He actually told me they didn't want customers buying cars to flip. What a fantastic alternative: they are just going to cut to the chase and screw everyone over personally, cutting out the middlemen.

Don't you love $tealers?

Let em sit. You don't have to buy. Others will though. I will be sitting out unless the MSRP thing comes through--better editions later anyway. There are many cars coming out in the next 2 years to compete---LFA, supra, supervette, NSX, super R8, to name just a few. Competition is always good, unless you HAVE to have the car, then you are trouble.
