    feids83, dealers will always quote full retail (why wouldn't they?) but I'd like to know if you bought your XR turbo ute at the same time as your uncle?. As I said there is NO WAY there is $15K dealer margin in cars priced under $100K especially cars priced under $50K. When The BA XR's came out there was NO discounting as there was a waiting list, 12-24 months later it was on for young and old. You'll only get $10K off a car if there is some exceptional situation. Where there are run outs , model year changes and the manufacturer chips in some big bucks to offer crazy deals. Being in the right place at the right time.

    You and your uncle aslo bought a car chock full of options (alloys for more margin and playing room)

    With all due respect to your uncle, he either bought the car when it was a new model or they saw him coming. I'm very interested to know if you bought your car at the same time. Was it a BA or BAII?, was it last of BA Mk1? This all makes a difference.

    I bet you that I can go to one of the 2 GT-R dealers in Victoria (where I live) in 12-15 months and get free on-roads, I know it. It's all timing. I'm not saying don't play hard ball, by all means do so, but don't be under the impression that a $45K car has a dealer margin of $15K even $10K. dealer margins are usually $10-12% including dealer delivery, anymore than that and there is manufacturer help.

    Our orders were several months apart, my uncle waited 8 months total from order to delivery mine took 4 months both were series one. At the time there was no dealer stock ready to go, there was a decent waiting list and nothing available at all with any options. His was late 02 mine early 03. I was using my uncle as clear example of someone who paid retail without a second thought when there is clearly plenty of room for negotiation, not necessarily 15k but plenty all the same.

    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.

    Back in 2003 my uncle paid $53,000 on road for an xr6 turbo ute with premium brakes, hard cover, tint, towbar, premium sound and 18's. I got the same car and options just a different colour for $43,000 on road both from the same SA dealer.

    Margin? there is a lot more than any dealer is willing to let on. Dont be scared of playing hard ball at the negotiating table, they want a sale though some dealers will do more for that sale.

    Correct.

    A worthless post that was irrelevant to this thread was removed, along with a response to it.

    No worries, just making sure i wasn't missing a page for some strange reason.

    Totally agree with the above post as in the past i have been mainly a 2JZ fanatic and as far as quality parts and development go the US has an abundance of ongoing development compared to the Jap tuning houses.
