looks like all the juicy add ons must be bought

The dealership which this belongs to - https://www.sheehynissanofmanassas....3-nissan-z-proto-spec-manassas-va-id-48517341

I'm not surprised that Nissan would send the Proto fully spec'ed out, but let's see if they were all built that way. One is an anomaly, two is a trend and all that.

EDIT: appears not, they all come with varying levels of add-ons. Two randomly selected examples, below

I'd expect these dealers to now add the "add-ons" like nitrogen in the tires for $750 and exterior protection $1250 (piece of plastic on door edge so you don't door ding someone else), no-name Lojack system for $2K, etc...let's see what happens.

Just returned from the dealership. They are fishing for 30k over msrp.

Its just crazy that we are talking about 85k for a car that was all about that 40k price tag.

Yes I know it is the Proto version but still.. c'mon

 

[therumblewagon]

I shouldn’t be surprised, but I kind of am, that this is how we found out timing of the car, too. Not a press release, no videos, it’s… dealers calling people.

IMAGINE PAYING OVER $80,000 FOR A FUCKING Z.

All them complaining when Nissan released Z pricing probably the ones would be willing to pay the exorbitant price

I am surprised people would actually pay ADM for this car. I already feel it is overpriced at $50k+ considering you can buy a Camaro SS 1LE for less and it comes with 55 more HP and 100 lb ft. more torque, Recaro seats, Tremec 6-speed, HUD, E-Diff, Dual mode exhaust, forged wheels, F1 Supercar tires, 6-piston Brembos, and all the extra cooling for the track.

I like the Z but I feel it is a $45k car in premium trim, which is probably what you could buy it for during normal times, but now we are at a time where ICE based sports car days are numbered and supply is constrained so I expect prices to remain high for a while.

If the Proto comes in other colors (don't like yellow personally) with even minor perf upgrades, not just cosmetic, I might not mind paying $$ extra since those 240 units will be split up among few colors and transmission types, rarety will be way sweeter!

so to report back on my discussions with dealers today. called both twice and had to leave a message lol.

one called about an hour later, the other has yet to return my call. the salesman said the proto they had listed on line (w/vin #) was not actually at the dealership...it would arrive towards the end of next month!

they would discuss pricing later...


edit: almost forgot, she said she took down my info and would let me know when the 400z arrives ?

 

[Ckynus]

They are calling everyone who has expressed interest and starting with crazy high priceing. I fully expect to get another call in a week when they drop the price a little.

But it is kinda strange going into these sales calls where I know so much more about the car than the sales team.

Yeah no. You really think people who don't want to pay $50k for a car they already believe is overpriced would throw an entire other car's worth of money on top of that because dealers are greedy as fuck?

I've been bitching about the MSRP since it was announced. There's no fucking shot I'd pay these ADMs.

 

[Ckynus]

The whole marketing campaign for this car is structured around "classic styling 400hp for under 40k"

While we all understand that is the fantasy land of marketing and knew it would be more I just was not expecting double.

There's an old saying in the car bid-ness:
