LOS ANGELES — Nissan announced today that its 2009 Nissan GT-R will be priced at $69,850 for the base model, and $71,900 for the Premium trim. Both prices include delivery charges.

Nissan intends to build just 1,500 GT-Rs per year during this model's lifecycle, and will announce dealer allocation plans later this week.

Pre-orders begin January 1, 2008, and the 2009 GT-R will officially go on sale in June.

What this means to you: If you haven't already made friends with your local Nissan dealer, better get on the stick. — Kelly Toepke, News Editor

NOTE: Premium model adds standard Bose® audio system, heated seats and side air bags.

 

Nicely priced! So, it seem like there is no 3 different trim levels (entry level, vspec and evolution) as it was believed by some people in the forums.

 

1500 cars worldwide or just in US?

 

1500 in the US.

 

wow, only 1500... Porsche Sells over 10,000 911's here a year. too bad they're overpriced

 

don't expect it to be sold at MSRP tho... 20k premium I hear?

 

$60K over MSRP from a dealer in NorCal

 

60k over MSRP?!! THAT'S ANOTHER CAR!! ALMOST THE PRICE OF THE FIRST ONE!!! AT 120-130K, YOU ARE BACK IN PORSCHE TERRITORY!!
If they markup the car that much, how can you get financing? One car for the price of two?
I really hope that dealers don't get crazy with markups. Sure with a new, rare car there will be some markups but twice the value?

 

My store is getting $20K over....but I'm in Virginia. $60K over MSRP in Cali seems about right for their median income...It's a lot of Google millionaires out there that will pay more than $60K for one just for the exclusivity of having a GT-R.

 

The dealers are banking on the hype. They are just trying to make as much $$ as they can now. Once the hype dies down, the cars will be selling at msrp or below.
