Why Will The R35 Gtr Be Cheaper In Usa Then Aus?

[scandyflick]

because you touch yourself at night.

[edspaged2]

im kinda upset the US will be getting this GTR, i always thought the older ones were exclusive.

yeah, that annoys me as well. ah well, at least we'll be able to get ALL models, whereas they have only really got the R35

Australia charge a shitload on import tax eh. we get ripped big time. Australia charge so much so as to protect the local industry.

Import duty is not the problem mate as it is only 10% now and it will go to 5% sometime in future, just like it is on 4WDS and commercials. Luxury tax is the one as it is 25% and that is levied an all cars regardless if they are made here or O/S .

i got bored.

and i figured the answer was somewhat self explanitory anyways.

its all about economy, marketability, and tax.

the us, europe, etc, will have a larger potential market for the new gtr,

australia has a smaller market.

australia has massive amounts of tax, on top of tax, on top of tax.

america and europe, dont.

simple really.

Thats some Heavy stuff there Scandy!!! I dropped out at Grade 10 and that was over 10 years ago! so meez a dumb!!

[Styline GTR]

Wonder How Much Nissan Australia pay for one of these GTR's wholesale???

[scandyflick]

*shrug*

if they sell for 160, id say somewhere around the 100 region.

[Styline GTR]

Has any price Been stated yet or a RRP Yet?? Buy the time it gets here in Aus it will be Old News in Japan so why not bring the price down a bit!!

[gts-4 dreamer]

higher priced here due to the buyers they will attract ?

not to mention the governing body wants the general populace to drive the slowest vehicles possible reducing road fatalities etc ?

f**k i hope the gtr doesnt turn into an overhyped import like the old ones.

they are amazing cars but most people i know when i tell them i have a skyline think it is some godly car that can get 1000 hp with a new comp

regardless though i cant wait to see them in canada?

I wouldn't take that guys word for it. He's just made a random website of rumors and innuendo and stated it as fact so I'd probably ignore it and wait until Nissan say something official.

Repost:

Yep the GT-R cud be priced around AUD150k ovr at your end and here in Spore its gonna cost at least SIN$288K but then its already on the road here:

Dont know the number allocated for Spore but one importer have at least 16units on order and delivery slated for Jan '08.

Even with import duties LCT etc its still way above what it should be, i think nissan have missed the boat and its not going to be as popular as they think it should have been done for under 100k. Prob also the fact that the 350z sits too close to it, another car which we pay too much for. Fark the local industries, they should build a product which doesnt need to be bolstered by the government. There is no real great trade in the car industries, people have ruined it.

[Styline GTR]

Just seems wrong to Pay Over 150k for a car that will be over 2 years old buy the time it gets here!!

[sh@un]

guess all those people joining the back of a 2+ year waiting list for a new F430 or 599GTB must be really cheesed

what are Nissan supposed to do? make 50,000 of them with hand built engines in the first 3 months?
