Why R Aus Gtr's A Ripoff?

[discoPumpkin]

Over in the US, a 2014 GTR costs $105000 AUD, where as in Australia second hand 2009 GTR's (5 years old) are selling for the same price.

and 2013 second hand Australian GTR's r going for $180000, that's almost double what the 2014 US GTR'S retail at. The 2008 US GTR sold for just $71000 AUD!!!#! so even tho they have gone up in price over there, still heaps cheaper then here?

Stop it.

Please, just stop.

They are, just because they are.

And no-one wants you to own one, so Nissan and all private owners are colluding at night; while you sleep, to ensure that however much money you have; a GTR will be just out of your reach.

That's why.

End thread.

and I come across another angry Stage driver, lol!! what is with this and Stagea drivers failing in life?

I'm actually hoping someone with a R35 GTR can offer some mature insight into this discussion, rather than just a butthurt station wagon drive who cant afford more than that, thankyou

[HEKT1K]

I'm glad you can't afford one buddy

^ says Dr Dre who owns a 6k R33 gts-t lol, only another 30 years of saving and u will achieve your goal of R35 GTR

Speak to -

1 Aus government re Luxury car tax, import duties GST etc etc

2 Nissan Aus - low volumes, high infrastructure setup costs due to the low volumes sold.

Its not simply GTR s that are expensive relative to the USA, it is all cars sold here. And the higher the initial cost the higher all the taxes will be.

Just look at the price of a commodore sold in the states.

Aus wages are also much higher relative to the US so affordabilitry is mch better too.

Good answer, yah even Evos r so cheap over there, it's a bit unfair that we have to pay twice as much for the same car. I know we have a strong economy and all but still you'd think Nissan would be able to make them a bit cheaper like in the US.

In saying that they r still better than Porsche, and u do get a hell of a lot of car for your money, still out of my price range tho lol

Not like I could ever afford a 100k car anyway. But I hope they stay expensive, keeps that exclusivity. I would hate to see 100's of r35's everyday. Would be like the new ft86's F#*KING EVERYWHERE

Hey have a read of this thread. Should pretty well cover it.

You make it sound like my Stagea is the only vehicle I own, but hey; you think what you like sunshine.

Maturity is a funny thing; I you don't show it, you're unlikely to get it in return.

Also, this is a Stage;

And THIS is a Stagea.

Go spelling!

I tell you now, if cars were cheaper here like in the US we would have a lower death toll on the roads coz most Aussies will be able to afford a more newer and safer car

[NISMO]

Thanks for starting this topic. Can't believe that with will all the GTR fanatics and car enthusiasts in general on these forums, no-one until now has thought to ask this very question.

You sir are the winner of SAU!!!

true, I would like to see R34 GTR's come down tho

The new commodores r finally 5k cheaper this year on the standard models and 10k cheaper on the luxury/sports models than last years, it's about time they competed with the cheaper imports, hopefully it will keep more people in jobs to.

Put down the keyboard and back away from the computer slowly.

This thread delivers. A++ would read again.

There a lot of other countries in the rest of the world that's got the GTR priced higher than AUS (e.g. Singapore, I believe around 250k SGD brand new 1AUD = approx. 1.19SGD). Quit whinging and maybe some day you will get one.

This thread just made me LOL
