To give you an idea for when you go in to bargain the Nissan dealer down for a new R35 GTR, the company I work for has a nissan franchise, but we are not a platinum dealer, so no GTR.

If there is almost 15k discount in a 50k Navara, what do you think they are holding back on 180k worth of GTR??

Hey, this car costs them max 130K IMHO.

guys, i have just been told by another dealer that there will be another price rise for cars delivered after 30th june 2009 , is this true?

or just a trick he is using trying to get me buy the car that he has coming to his dealer next month and just before the close of financial year?

You are forgeting that dealers want to make some money somewhere and they are not making any selling a Navara with $15k discount even though Nissan are giving them half of the $15 k.

Another thing to consider with expensive cars, every $1 they discount the car buy they only loose 52 cents in NSW . 33 cents goes to LCT, 10 cents to GST and 5 cents to stamp duty. A $10 k discount on th GTR will reduce the dealers proffit by $5200!!!

The reason the price went up was the increase in the LCT from 25% to 33% or around $8 k on a $160 k car.

Agreed. Dealers don't make much money selling the car, although they will try to. Generally though to make anything they have to sell you options and get you back for servicing.

I worked for a large company that did the dealer extras like paint protection etc. and can tell you that good rust proofing (NOT electronic) is the only thing worth having. It's a prick of a job to do for the sprayer and it works bloody well.

Electronic ones are shite and we sold them for $120 to the dealer, who charged $800

Tint with lifetime warranty was $130, they on-sold it for $580

Paint protection, well the bottle cost us about $40 and did about 6-7 cars, they charged $250 a pop.

bastards.... and yet they get upset if you even suggest that car salesmen are scum

They raised the price in the USA by $7000-8000 stately extra production costs. That price is the reason for the $8k price increase I believe in Australia as well. For all cars delivered after June 30th or something like that.

Doo's if you get one mate, do not, i repeat DO NOT, get "paint protection", it is possibly the biggest rip-off in new car sales this side of the GTR servicing costs. I know some manufacturers charge nearly $1k!! (might cost them $75 for the kit).

Yeah, i wouldnt do it either...

I was just stating this was the deal on the table from the dealership to retain my business...

Instead I went to BMW...

No that was 3 days ago. Gold Coast had super silver in stock ready to go & Adelaide could supply gun metal in august & another black one in sept (according to sales manager) I expect Adelaide to always be more. Dealers here dont think we would ever cross the border! The BMW dealer here is amazing.....you want discount!!! the last few cars I have bought have been from interstate.

lol i took a lady freind out to look at some years ago to look at some girls type cars.....just to play devils advocate

the guy kept talking up paint protection during the sales process and i advised in the beggining that was something that we did not want

he was adament to sell it to her though

so i said are these cars prone to rust? is that why you have mentiond p,p like 15 times in the last 30 minutes?

and he started stuttering and then we left

I'm reading here that people think there is $15K margin/discount on a top of the range D40 Navara ST-X 4x4 Crew Cab turbo-diesel. Please tell me you people are taking the piss? I've never read such a mistruth in my life!

The Navara D40 ST-X dual cab 4x4 turbo-diesel manual has a retail price of $47,860 + ORC (auto is $50,110 +ORC). The dealer would be lucky to have $4,000 margin!. There has been a national retail offer on this vehicle (on 2008 plated vehicles) for $39,990 +ORC to ABN Holders (a $7,870 discount). Nissan would be subsidising dealers to the tune of about $3000-$3500 of this and dealer contributing ALL their margin to do this kind of a deal. I talk from 7 years previous dealer experience and 15 years in the motor industry.

A GT-R would probably hold about $16-18K dealer margin, plus whatever they charge for dealer delivery (not sure what prep costs are involved tho).

I reckon, buy a GT-R in 12 months time...see if you get charged silly dealer delivery. In Victoria at least, in 12 months I reckon $164K on road would be more than enough for a GT-R standard at a current RRP's.

wheneva I have bought cars I have always worked on not to offer anything less than a 10% discount of total driveaway price.. I'll be buying next years GTR model (I'm in no rush, may aswell wait and see what revisions they make).. Interesting how much it will be next year and how much I can bargain down.

    • Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.
    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
