SO.....anyone have any experience putting a deposit down on a rare new piece of hardware?

I'm thinking about putting a deposit down on a GT-R and selling rights to it on Ebay.....anyone want to join?

 

i got 20 bucks

 

I met a guy at Japanese Car Day a few years back who did this with a Ford GT. He used to own an S2K and at the time I met him he had a black NSX. He lived in New Hampshire. I think his screen name was Saylor or something like that. Haven't seen him around here in a long time though.

Even if he's not interested in joining, I bet he could share some nuggets of wisdom if you can find him.

 

I just checked Quicken, I have -$17.45 right now. Before buying my house, this would have been tempting though.

 

Ah no thanks

 

Good idea Cubby. I bet you could pull in some decent coin.

Oh yea, I have no money for this

 

How many is expected to arrive in the USA? Will it be that rare?

 

Not sure if it's going to fly, because dealer is going to add mark-up on the car so the margin becomes thinner

There's already a waiting list. By the time it is your turn, it's probably not that hard to get one on a walk-in anymore.

But it is almost risk-free, so why not?

 

I think Nissan was going to cancel the warranty on that perticular vehicle if it were sold to make profit...I've read that on leftlanenews.com

 

Doesn;t sound right....does this mean the dealer has to sell MSRP?
