Rainy day, nothing to do, so I went to look at some cars. Visited my Audi dealer (nice S8 for $105K), Lexus to see the IS-F (pretty impressive looking/performing machine). Then I visited my local Nissan dealership.
I asked about the GT-R and said I was interested. The salesman said that he had some good news - of their allocation of three, he had one for sale. I could take delivery in late September and could select my desired colors/trim. My heart skipped *several* beats before he told me the bad news - the price carried a $30K charge over the MRP. IOW, a $70K car for $100K.
They'd give me $45k for my RS6 (if I traded it with the BBS LMs). As rare as the RS6 was when I bought it in 03, I did not pay a premium on the sticker price. In fact, I got it for less than the sticker.
At 70, I don't think there is a GT-R in my future. Too bad..........
