Nissan GT-R Pre-orders begin at 691 "GT-R Certified" Nissan Dealers in the U.S.
If you're reading these words right now, there's a good chance you're already too late. Nissan has selected 691 dealerships to begin taking pre-orders of the GT-R, with a price of $69,850 for the base model and $71,900 for the premium variant. Both prices don't include destination and handling charges (let along markups), which have yet to be determined.
Nissan's criteria for deeming a dealer "GT-R Certified" involves making a number of commitments including sales, service and facility requirements, along with having a dedicated "master technician" whose incredibly well-versed in the service of Godzilla. Sales won't be handled by your run-of-the-mill sales person either; the GT-R will only leave the lot under the supposedly expert hands of a dealer principal, executive manager or general manager.
Deliveries are expected to being this June. With only 1,500 GT-Rs on their way to the States and less than 700 dealers handling sales, the price gouging is all but assured.
Nissan's full press release is available after the jump and more information is available at gtrnissan.com.
