Not really surprising, I guess Nissan saw all the markups people are paying and wanted a piece of the pie . The thing is, its abit more than the Z 06.

Nissan announced today a price increase for the 2009 GT-R, raising the MSRP nearly $7,000 from $69,850 to $76,840. The price for the Premium model has been increased even more, going from $71,900 to $79,090 in one fell swoop. Fortunately, the adjusted prices do not affect customers who placed their orders with dealers before September 5. Nissan cited increased material costs as the reason for the adjustment.

Well it was already more than the Z06 since the Z06 has the 10k mark off because it isn't moving.

I had heard that a price increase was more or less inevitable.

 

I'm thinking about just biting the bullet and getting one now. The price increase doesn't really bother me too much as I think your still getting alot for what your paying. However, it doesn't leave a good impression on Nissan to increase the price after the car being on the market here for a little over couple of months. I understand what they're saying about material cost, but they should have at least waited until MY 2010

 

Well, like you said, they saw that most everyone was already getting marked up so they might as well take part of the dealer's profits. I wonder it this means that mark up will go up as well.

The car is a dream, go for it!

 

I don't quite understand how they can justify this in the toilet global economy.

 

I bought a new Z06 a few weeks ago and took advantage of the 0% financing. Plus i was able to get a huge discount on the car. I was on the fence about whic one to purchase, the GT-R or Z06, but dealer gouging helped me make my decision.

 

well there you go

congrats on your purchase. the Z06 is an excellent car.

 

Yeah, congrats on the Z06, just wasn't for me. Great car, stay out of trouble and good luck with the Z06 community.

 

That's a very good deal (if only it was available when I bought mine more than couple years ago). It's too bad it seems like the deciding factor was the gouging. In any case, enjoy your car

 

That is lame, its too early for a price increase. I think dealers will start to have a hard time moving them if you can get a Z for almost 20,000 cheaper. That should at least make some changes to the car before the increase happens.

the car has only been out for a month and there are several hundred on auto trader already. Nissan is reading their dealer hype too much.
