Get your sleeping bags ready: Nissan GT-R pre-orders begin Jan. 1st - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

That's right kiddies. According to the LA Times, preorders for the 1,500 U.S.-bound Nissan GT-Rs will begin on the January 1st, 2008. As a reminder, the cost of entry is just over $70,000 and whatever your local dealer decides to tack onto the bottom of the sticker -- possibly upwards of $15k. Somehow we doubt there'll be a line forming a few days before the calendar change (those who can afford it have people for that kind of thing), but we could think of worse ways to spend New Year's Eve - like queuing up for a Versa.

you know some dealer is gonna add another 30k markup.

implayaz9 · 11-30-2007, 09:19 PM

damm.. i guess people should be ready to pay the price if they want it so bad!

IIIXziuR · 11-30-2007, 09:48 PM

wow I don't see who is going to drop that much dough on it.
I mean don't get me wrong I love the car but thats alot of coin.

...Well I'll be standing outside of whatever dealership that will be getting them come Jan.!

There will definetly be people who will buy it just to say that they own a skyline. I hope that the people who buy them will actually drive them though it would be a shame for them to just sit in a garage and not be used for what they are made for.

Too bad its not called a skyline.

shinhed · 12-01-2007, 04:43 AM

Someone loan me $69,995. I probably won't pay you back.

punxva · 12-01-2007, 10:48 AM

yeah then only reason i'd be waiting at the dealership is to maybe snap a few photos.

StaticX27 · 12-01-2007, 12:17 PM

You probably need a credit check just to get in line... ><

Yeah there prolly won't be too many daily driven people who drop that much "coin" on a limited production vehicle will have them in a garage barely driven most of these cars prolly won't even see there turbos fully spool but that's ok cuz me and eyemfaster will buy one off one of these richies in good condition in a few years then they'll be driven enough to make up for the previous owners lack of enthusiasm for what the vehicle was built for

I would babby that thing like a new born.....Its one of the FIRST in america is value only goes up from the day you buy it. And not only value the mind set that you have one of the FIRST in your garage and not many people do. Tearing it up would be gay IMO.

HKsilvia · 12-02-2007, 03:24 AM

do they accept down payment?

I agree, I bet Jay Leno will have one in his collection... can you imagine having the very first one off the assembly line???

Gumballf355 · 12-02-2007, 07:01 AM

As fast as it is people won't be standing in line for one. I think the styling doesn't really warrant a speculated 80k pricetag. If I can get sticker I'll put my name down for one. Usually deposits are $5k down.

I would go there, just to get a close look at the car and sit inside.

Chops@MVP · 12-04-2007, 12:50 PM

One of my coworkers already pre-ordered 2. One for resell and the other for himself. Expected to arrive next summer.

Gunot · 12-06-2007, 08:30 AM

It looks nice but... R34 > anything else they make

You cant improve perfection, imo.

Farzam · 12-07-2007, 04:44 PM

I can't wait to see the vids on youtube of idiots crashing em...

Are they available in any other fucking color, lolz

Black, red, dark gray, red, and some other silver-sand kinda color

No Bayside Blue though...

Maybe they'll offer it later down the road.

soon2bs13 · 12-07-2007, 07:19 PM

how long do u think before someone jacks it?
ie - rims/brakes/suspension/lights/interior/etc. etc.

worangejuice · 12-07-2007, 07:24 PM

Here in L.A., you know a bunch of douchebags will own a couple, and not really even know what the hell it is, 'status symbol'. Or the obligatory blonde will be driving/crashing one. oh well. Hopefully all the people who deserve and respect the car will be able to own one. I wanna see Daijiro Inada cruise by in one in L.A.......or on Option Video, ha.

There's no doubt about that.

azndoc · 12-07-2007, 08:18 PM

I'm going to start a donation on here so that I can buy one.

Whoever donates gets a ride along.

LOL

How about everyone donates and Zilvia buys one and then WeST and I will do a nationwide tour and let everyone who donated go on a ride along.

Tearlessj · 12-12-2007, 07:52 PM

We'd be gold if every member put in $2!

newstar31 · 12-12-2007, 09:54 PM

im in for $2 as long as u bring it up to canada too lol
still i wud go for a built r32 gtr

crazyikimasho · 12-12-2007, 10:49 PM

Yeah they won't be arriving Jan 1st, just the preorders begin then. Most likely the earliest you'll see them arriving in dealers is March.

We've already started taking deposits for reservations and I believe our first 3 are tentatively sold.

98s14inaz · 12-17-2007, 09:30 AM

If you were smart you'd follow them around with a tow truck and wait for some rich douche to wreck one. Then take off with it and go mad scientist trying to figure out how to swap the power train to another vehicle.
