Default First GTR in person

Hello to all, I saw my first R35 yesterday at a dealer(not Nissan), stopped to check it out and they were asking 115K. Are they serious with this price?? I thought it was aroung 80K from what i gave read.

Dealer mark-up on the GTR is bordering on criminal in some areas. But then again, if someone wants to buy it at that price, more power to the seller.

Same for me (right now). I'm sitting here in the paddock at a track event and there is one parked right next to us. Also white like the one you pictured.

I've seen that one if it is the same spot wow I can't believe they were asking for that much though, it's going to sit there forever unless the buyer is desparate.

the owners are probably members of the "The Legitimate Businessmen's Social Club"
