2014 gtr
 

Just back from my local dealership and there is a 2014 GTR, brand spanking new, for $25k under sticker. Is this a good deal or not?

What is the sticker show?

$110k

For a leftover 2 year old car and the 2015s were getting close to $17-18K off of a couple of months ago (some lucky bastards got more). No, but it's a good start.

why get the 2014 when you could get even more brand spanking new for $25k more?

I think its an alright deal. They will probably go even lower if you negotiate.

Look at the differences. Has the model changed significantly in the newer ones? I don't believe they have. I'd say that's a pretty darn good deal considering the price you'll pay and the depreciation hit you'll take!

my take on getting a higher-end car is you shouldn't buy it if you are concerned about depreciation. you shouldn't buy it if it's gonna make every penny you earn go into the car and have nothing left over to enjoy. and you shouldn't buy if you won't have the $ to do the maintenance either yourself or the dealer.

With the new ones being cut in price....have the used ones dropped accordingly? They should have...by now.

Totally agree. My friend used to work at Newport Beach import group as a finance guy; I believe this dealer is now Fletcher Jones Mercedes. Anyways, when he worked there in the late 90s, he told me that guys who could afford new Porsches, either paid for them in cash or leased them. He said that wannabes are the guys who had to finance them, or bought used ones because they couldn't afford them brand new. These guys on the lower end made $300K/yr. and it wasn't uncommon to see customers that made over a 1M$/yr.

Yeah, putting most of your eggs into a high end car when you only make "working class" level money isn't a smart idea. And it's only a matter of time before that car says bye bye because the flat bed comes to pick it up....while you're sleeping.

used gtr's are lower obviously than new gtr's. however, i wouldn't expect a drastic drop in price, as nissan, and generally all japanese cars, hold their values. i also would imagine that there would be little or no wiggle room with the gtr when it comes to price - if you don't buy it, someone else will.

i highly doubt there's any room to negotiate the prices on a gtr. for a car like the gtr, if you don't buy it at a certain price, there is somebody that will pay asking price.

I can't make judgments based on MSRP... however, you were able to get a new GT-R, so that is awesome -- congrats :tup:

Pshhhh... if its for sale, the price is negotiable.

Which is exactly why it's still sitting there with $25k off the sticker.

My Z is for sale. You should buy it. It's available for $3k off sticker.
