so went to my dealer today because i want to order a 2020 gtr and trade my 2019 gtc coupe. they said the best they can do if I order is give me car at MSRP and not charge me a mark up. My gtc was off the show room floor and they also said no discount but after some back and forth gave me about 12k off. those of you with GTRs did the dealer give you guys a discount? any one actually pay a markup?

I consider myself very lucky in that: I was given $5K more for my trade-in than anyone else had offered me; I was reimbursed (via an additional discount on the GT R) for my round trip airline ticket flying out to look at it/sign the papers; wheel/tyre insurance was included and lastly, the GT R was shipped to me free of charge and my trade shipped back free.

So hard to state exactly how much of a discount I received, but it should be patently obvious I didn’t pay MSRP. There was no ADM on the car btw.

If I was looking at a GT R currently and unless it had to be a 2020, I’d buy a ‘used’ one as there are many out there with some nice discounts off of MSRP to be had and with great options.

Yeah I think im just gonna order the 2020 and drive the GTC for a year. It seems like the general consensus is no one is getting any sort of discount on the GTRs

If you don’t get a discount on the car, get a deal on the service packs.

Used is definitely a good option so you don’t worsen your loss in addition to your trade in.

Amazing all these are the green launch color!

I don't know about ordering one, but a MB dealer in Denver offered me $6K off MSRP on a 2019 GTR they had on the floor.

If you order one, I can guarantee there will be No discount .

If its bee bee sitting in the show room, you might get a couple of dollars off.

You may want to reach out to this MB dealer. I have worked with them in the past. They are a forum sponsor.

Want to bring this thread back to life. Did anyone get a discount on a new order?

PutnamPark1

If you look at Cars.com there is a new 2020 GTR going for $10k off MSRP, and a blue 2020 with about 200 miles going for $159k, with a recent price drop.

NYCSoiL

The one for $159k in CT need to stay away, they are extremely rude and unprofessional... Didn't see $10k off MSRP though

Not quite on topic but Why?? You won't notice the power difference. IMO the earlier interior is nicer and more special. 2020s are apparently quieter...

Personally I prefer the 2020 interior and given the opportunity of almost the exact same car I’ll always by the newest one. Usually holds value longer. By a year

And the GTR looks better in my opinion (and maybe this members as well)

Surge - You jump in a lot of threads seemingly to convince people to not buy GTRs. This is a strange thing to do. I’ve been on various car forums for the better part of 15yrs and I cannot recall coming across this.

Fella with a GTR stole a lady friend?

Orcbolg

Yeah, it's a very obvious, and strange, habit of his.


Also agree on the looks, the GT R is the better looking car, while the GT/S/C all get confused for one another.

fullvietfx

GT-R definitely looks the best. It was out of my budget though.

Surge

Not quite correct - the only other thread was one in which the OP explicitly asked for advice on which model GTS/C/R to buy.

In your case, none of my business how you spend your hard earned cash, but to take a big depreciation hit on a 1 year old GTC, for a very very similar car... Not to mention the reports of the quieter exhaust (see recent post where someone claimed a 2017 GTS sounded louder than a 2020 GTR)... it doesn’t make much sense. But that’s just me I suppose.

Orcbolg

Not quite correct (I had a spare 30 seconds for a quick ctrl + f):


But yes, we are all aware of your bias against the GT R.

Surge

Thanks for the thorough and well formatted summary of some of my posts!
Look, obviously I love the GT line - especially the GTR which is at the top and very close to my GTC. I could have bought a GTR but went with a GTC for very specific reasons. And I want to share those to help other potential owners. I think some/most buyers don’t really consider the pros and cons of the GTR and just buy it. As mentioned in one of my earlier posts (which I see you didn’t quote) - if you track your car at least a few times a year, the GTR is the clear choice.

NYCSoiL

GTR really depreciate like nothing else. 2 years old with less than 10k miles are going for $115-135k which is insane. My dealer offered me 6% of the custom order 2020, but given how they loose their value 6% is nothing considering 9% sales tax on top..

Orcbolg

No worries brother, I'm just having a giggle because it seemed like a funny trend.





Once they start getting into the $100k-$110k range, for ones optioned how I like, it will be hard for me not to jump into one and start modding the crap out of it. That is assuming my upcoming rentals in an Aventador, Performante, and 720s don't sway me away from MB for my next purchase.

Surge

No worries... I would be thinking the same thing if it were someone else...
I love the look of both, but there's something special about the GTR with the yellow callipers...

Surge

Which is why I was suggesting not trading in a 1 year old GTC, which I'm sure has depreciated a ton.

I really believe the GTs will hold their value over the long term. But selling a lightly used one now is the worst from a depreciation standpoint. In 10 years I think a GTC will be ~$100-$120K with a GTR being $10-$20K more, and a GTS being $10-$20K less, and the values should stay there.

Dealers couldn't move the SLS in its last 1-2 years of production - at least in Canada they were offering $10K off MSRP... Now look where they are.

doulehr

I dont agree. GTC gets confused for GTS but GTS doesnt get confused for GTC. Reason being is not many people know the GTC exists...it wasnt produced until 2018 and there aren't very many of them.
Ive had my GTC confused for a GTR more than once.
