What Nissan GT-R: what price new Calentura?

Michelangelo Antonioni film "Blow Up", Thomas (David Hemming) notes a rock guitarist break his axe and put the remains in the audience. Caught up in the spirit of the time, Thomas joined the scrum trepada for a dead guitar part. Grab the part of the lion and flees. Dozens of fans give persecution, trying to snatch reach award. Finally, Thomas is clear from the crowd. Only with his treasure, he contemplates his booty - and then the Strip by chance in a garbage can close. Nissan GTR anyone?

Sacrilege! The new Nissan GT-R explosions from 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds, navigates the Nürburgring as fast as the Porsche 911 Turbo and (allegedly) do so with more confidence that best of Stuttgart.All this with a manufacturer suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starting just less than $ 70 k.Claramente, is the negotiation of automotive performance of the Decade.

The day announced the initial allocations of GT-R, U.S. Distributor mathematics clear the problema.Nissan considered exactly 691 distributors "qualified" (i.e., large and economically productive enough) to sell the GT-r. During the inaugural year of the model, Nissan will construct 2500 GT-R worldwide, only 1400 vehicles of which it will be released.

Does not take much to divide 1400 by 691 and conclude that urged States United Nissan dealers will receive two GT-R (on average) .Dado these distributors were forced to invest in equipment to run flat tyres only service, GT-r has sense to recover that investment ASAP, about the two models will experience in 2008 transactions. And, lest we forget, car sellers.

Conclusion: a "buyer's premium".

So when contacted my local dealer to order for my own Nissan GT-R, was not surprised to find a lot of twist and shadow puppeteering.This, of course, gave me a Groucho Marx reverse; wanted to join a club that wanted me as miembro.BUT-

I am allergic to pay more than MSRP for anything (I have a note from a physician to prove it).The idea of branching on a significant premium for a GT-R in his first year of release makes me feel both elated and stupid.

To delete "stupid" of this equation, started a research online, hoping to benefit from the experiences of other enthusiasts looking desperately for a Nissan GT-r. Most of the stories I found with indicated distributors were added a $ 10,000 to $ 25 k additional in the car MSRP.

About half a dozen commentators list distributors committed its GT-R in MSRP.Esta sale information has made me something good, as a single sales accounted for half of their assignment. At the time that had also observed the virtuous dealer was sold his other GT-R. Living in California does not help; the status of gold for fast cars love seems any rational decision-making lines blur may remain within the borders of the State.

The result of this hot model fever is obviously a four-wheel Ponzi scheme.Apart from the Enzo Ferrari, you can count the number of cars that won a premium from the start and maintained that value with one hand (and still have enough left fingers that do band signs).Does anyone remember that $ 100 k retailers are placed at the top of the terrible BMW Z8?The AMG SL55 for $ 50 k on top?And Yes, people paid over the odds for a Pontiac Solstice.

Finally, when the hot model cools, someone gets burned.If you are going to pay a premium for a hot car, "trick" is to do with the line of the hopper, then sell the vehicle before the catch of availability-top with the demand.Since Nissan GT-R is not any Ferrari, and Nissan dealers love money, calculated the Nissan will production within the year of 2008 model, great style.At that time, the premium will disappear for both the buyer and seller.

Want to talk about murderous depreciation then is necessary to consider the concept of "front-loading" an asset intended to shed the valor.Un SL55 of 2005 with less than 20 k on the clock AMG can now be yours for $ 86 k as a certified used car a MB - Distributor and much less as a purchasing privada.Con Solsti dealer lots stacking-tracking, there is not a single soul in the United States you pay you's chances for a nueva.No one.?

So I am hot in this search to find someone who will agree to my request for a MSRP Nissan GTR and I have even seen one in person - say felt the experience of conducción.Dos questions. how long will the hype last? with all this demand and low supply, do long there will be someone willing to boot this rule out from my junk heap and pay ME more than MSRP for the privilege? do second, I still want?

Pep Boys and Wal-Mart are generally tire cheap / oil places barato.Pep Boys will have $ 6.99 oil change bids and Wal-Mart offers oil changes for less than $ 20. Wal-Mart offers every day under prices while you have to search for the Pep Boys circulars Sunday to get the rights offerings.

Be careful with hidden charges, and miscellaneous expenses.If you are one of those who prefer to have someone make the Ripper, make sure you know the total cost before you visite.Wal-Mart installed tires and change your oil.Pep Boys do that and install parts as well.In both cases, I would prefer still services of an accredited independent mechanic.

Car-part.com is another excellent for parts of the fábrica.Sugiero source that visit the site to the route used, reciclado.Craigslist may be a Shangri-la - the for cheap items, and EBay still offers plenty of great offers for those who are willing to wait a week.

PT Cruiser?

dark days. Join me as voyage to the bottom of the hole... of rabbit PT-shaped

If you're not an enthusiastic and simply want a car 'guardian', $ 10 k cruise may be much. What you say? Will disappear?Well exactamente.Hay a lot of advantages for the soon-to-be-missing, less popular cars as PT Cruiser, which go far beyond the initial purchase price.

A model long run generally translates into a lot of spare parts which can be easily, from multiple sources.The parts store or the nearby scrap deposit will probably have available replacements for the eight-year-old PT duplicate or even triplicado.El PT Cruiser also be overcome recent participants such as the Toyota Yaris, Nissan Versa and Honda Fit when it comes to parts cost.For transplanted customers who have been relatives with banks for a $ 500, repair that would cost you $ 150 in a standard iron Detroit, this is a heavy consideration.

All things equal, a long run, also has the advantage of offering fewer defects of 'average' larger models and recientes.Un car that have built a million times more effectively gave the vendor and manufacturer much opportunity to improve the car design and reduce defects.
