GTR Homes in Canada

Hey just wondering if ppl know about what nissan dealerships are getting them.

I know for a fact that the Nissan Dealership here in Victoria BC, we are getting 2, and 1 is sold and the other is prolly gonna have a bidding war like when the Ford GT came here.

I'll be watching for them. I work on the same street as Campus Nissan.

OT but does the owner of a red 4x4 240 coupe work at nissan? Has some sweet 4 spoke wheels and loud exhaust on it and needs some love!

I was told yesterday that there are approx only 40-50 coming to all of Canada on the first run and around 100 for the US market. Only metro market dealerships will be getting these. So if you have deposits at smaller dealerships you are probly getting your money back and yes they have started bidding wars already as a person not named at a very large dealership in the states was going to be charged $90,000 plus a $30,000 premium fee if he wanted to buy the car from the dealership and that's an employee!

Official Pricing for Canada will come in March so I have been told.

Fairview Nissan in Burlington has deposits for 5 but unfortunitly they are not getting any so if you have a deposit there you might think about going and getting it back.

I put my name on list (No.6) at Sherwood Nissan today. They are supposed to be the biggest dealer in western Canada. They said they are expecting to get 5 or 6 for this summer. A couple of the other dealers in Edmonton are only supposed to get 1 or 2 each.

If you go to their website now they have changed it to being "Vancouver's GT-R dealer" and not "Vancouver's only GT-R dealer".

Actually the only Nissan dealer in Vancouver is Southside Nissan.

But it show how shrewd and quick their advertising department is as so far it appears that they are the only dealership to even advertise the GT-R.
