Nissan GT-R: Sold
Nissan GT-R: Sold Through Certified Dealers - Not Necessarily One Near You
LOS ANGELES — Potential buyers for the eagerly awaited 2009 Nissan GT-R won't be able to pop into just any Nissan dealership to buy one. The 1,500 annual GT-Rs allotted to the U.S. market will only be sold through GT-R-certified dealers.
The certification process begins today with a letter from the automaker being sent to its 1,076 U.S. dealers outlining precisely what is required for certification. Dealers have a scant three weeks to agree to proceed through the certification process.
Higher-volume Nissan dealers who also sell a good number of Z cars will get preference.
Certified dealers also must commit to a top dealership executive serving as the GT-R salesperson, preferably with transactions taking place privately outside of the showroom, and a service manager designated just for GT-R customers. The dealership also must have certified master technicians with special GT-R training, and invest in a specially equipped service bay.
Earlier this week at the Los Angeles auto show, Nissan announced the price of the GT-R at $69,850 for the base model, and $71,900 for the Premium trim. Both prices include delivery charges.
Pre-orders begin at the first of the year, and the 2009 GT-R will officially go on sale in June.
