whatever the list price is?

No one pays list in Australia unless its a pre order or very shortly after release.

The answer to your Q depends on "when". If you want a 2011 now expect circa 5-10k

If you want a 2012 early next yr, expect to pay close to list.

I poicked up 1 of the last 2010's 3 months ago and got 18k off

surely actual negotiations with said dealer will give you a better result than some forum heresay

Whats wrong with trying to get a feel for the level of discount available out there?

Maybe the market is like the US where people pay (well) over rrp. (obviously its not!).

Did the level of discount I obtained offend you ?

Ps Martin knows me and could verify that i'm not a bs artist!

my reply wasn't aimed at you but rather the op, so no need to get on defensive

the amount of variables in this thread....state, time of the year, dealer stock levels, current economy, etc makes any "oh you got ripped, i paid x at this dealer" argument invalid

Oh, ok. But the OP's Q is still valid. As are your variables.

So the answer is - yes discounts are certainly available on these cars. My vehicle and another (white) 2010 (maybe still on carsales.com) at high $150k drive away suggests maximum discount levels obtainable.

But yes, discount up to individual dealer on the day.

Just makes me laugh that US guys are paying up to $10k over list.

10K over when RRP is 80K. I cry at that.

I think I might pick up a 2012 in late 2013! 38k discount, that's awesome. Can you tell us what you actually paid Wardski?

$159k on the road. The Oct 10 build (considered a 2011 release) GT-R had been on the show room floor @ Magic Nissan for 8 months, and only 43kms on the clock. Arrived to my door on the 2nd Dec and absolutely immaculate condition.

Considering the RRP is $168k before onroads and LCT, I was laughing. Would have liked the extra power and daytime LED's that the MY11, 2012 model has, but beggers can't be choosers! :)

That's a great buy! Congrats! Thanks for letting us know what you paid, it's a great yard stick to follow. I assume you're getting 3 years warranty from date of delivery? Going on what you paid the prices being asked for used 2009 ADM's on carsales with less then a year's warranty are just way too high! It also shows how much Nissan Australia are marking up these cars at new! A bloody disgrace! It will interesting to see what you will be able to pick up a MY 2011 mid way through next year.

Full 3 year Australia wide warranty, and Magic have a sister dealership in Brisbane which I'll be using for servicing. The 2009's are well overpriced, but then there are people out there with HUGE loans on them. I'm sure with all the upgrades on the MY12's (plus warranteed launch control) the MY11s will go for a steal.

Re-read what I said

"Considering the RRP is $168k before onroads and LCT"

Your statement is incorrect.

You should have written - Considering the RRP is $168k after LCT and before onroads.

LCT is included in the rrp of $168k, onroads are not.

      I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.

      It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!

      Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.
