Yes
Correct
Just so everyone is clear, exactly what minority are you referring to?
Are you aware that Italian supercars didnt even come with warranty until quite recently? From memory it was the mid 90's although i may be slightly wrong, nevertheless - that means ALL supercar buyers were buying the cars with no warranty as they were sold as just that, supercars. Look at a Burrows day, open circuit and rego plates left on driving brand new F430's and alike. The typical buyer for those cars knew if the car broke (and the old ones did, so do the new ones for that matter), the bills would be large and be their responsibility. Early last year I met a person who owns a Diablo, its been through 3 clutches, 2 gearboxes and numerous amount of smallish parts (alterators, starter motors etc), he just accepts it as part of ownership (this was when it was new and as a new car buyer if a warranty was offered he wouldve made Lambo pay through the nose, last i spoke to him he doesnt drive it at all anymore). The dealer who sold him the car would fix it without hesitation as they made a mint from him, but the owner paid the bill and didnt have a problem paying the bill. Exactly the same as a grey R35.
2 mates buy 2 GTR's; Yes i agree there will be a decent amount of these things on the roads if Nissan have their way (not exactly mass delivered, they're not going to be like commodores), but people will know the difference when it comes to spending the coin. It will be exactly the same as Aus delivered R32 GTR's, buyers who want the ADM will look for them, know what to look for, and pay the price. Same will go for the R35 buyers who want JDM, they will be buying the JDM for their own reasons, and will know what to look for to seperate the JDM's from ADM's, if the only thing they want is launch control, then good for them
Also dont think Nissan will have the R35's here in 6 months, or anything close to that - they still dont have approval, and I personally hope they never do.
