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.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
