Tag Link: Nissan GT-R Service Costs

Does it cost $20,000 per year to maintain the Nissan GT-R?
"I went to one of the authorized dealers here in Montreal, i spoke to the GM and inquired about leaving a deposit for the GTR, they said they take 5000$ and the first year allocations are sold, but i would get one in a year. But then he wanted to make something clear before we put something on paper, apparently he was told that the 'mandatory' service for the GTR at 12 000km will cost anywhere from 18 000$ to 20 000$ which includes but not limited to 'new tires, tranny service, engine service, suspension adjustment, new brakes all around etc'" Read Article

I seriously doubt that the GT-R's scheduled maintenence would be that much.

That's way more than a twin turbo 911 owner would spend.

Sounds BMW marketing goons are trying to inject false rumors around the net. Either that, or that dude got it mixed up with a McLaren F1 maintenance schedule.

It is called "internet marketing".
Rumors and false reviews.

What's wrong with that? I sure hope you plan on very regular, strict maintenance if you want to drive a car like this and take advantage of it's abilities. You're already getting the car at a bargain, and in the auto world you have to pay to play.
I fix computers and if people would actually spend the time and money they need to spend on regular maintenance and keeping a strict backup plan in place you would hear about a lot less computer problems.

the annual maintenance on an F430 is 'only' between $1-3k...needless to say, if I owned a GT-R I would be selling it before the odo rolled the 10,000 mi mark - $20k is ridiculous

I figured that maintenance for a GT-R or any other supercar would be more expensive than maintenance for a Ford Focus, but this is ridiculous! I don't believe it.

It figures that Turbo/sport/midengine would post something like this. Why are we not surprised?

Didn't Car and Driver already debunk this goofiness? On top of that, this is just a post in a VW (VW?? GT-R? Hello?) discussion forum. Within that very thread it's debunked. WTH???

TurboSpyder... this crap is piss poor dude.

What's sad is that that's not the worst of it. Somebody else here decided this was good enough to publish on THIS site, yes? THAT person is the real brain doner.

Another blogger added this from the following link:
Rumor 7: Estimated annual service costs for the GT-R are $10,000–$15,000.
Service costs for the GT-R will vary greatly depending on usage so we do not have an estimate of annual service costs. But these estimates seem very high. There are a series of Performance Optimization Services (POS) required for the GT-R. The Performance Optimization Services (POS) are inspections and adjustments (if needed) of three major vehicle performance systems: Engine settings, transmission settings, and wheel alignment. These services are required to keep the car functioning at optimal performance and are done free of charge for the first 36 months. These services are necessary to keep the warranty in full effect for these systems.

The first Performance Optimization Service is performed at 1000 miles. The subsequent services are performed at 12, 24, and 36 months. Additionally, it is recommended these services be continued annually beyond the first three years, but they will be at customer expense.
While this is not a free maintenance program since it doesn’t include oil changes or other maintenance, it should make keep the ownership costs pretty reasonable for such a high-performance car.

Turbo/Sport/Midengine,

Any of your remaining credibility on this site has just been flushed down the toilet at this point...what will your next screen name be so that I can add it to your long list of aliases?

So, if you whine hard enough and long enough, you can get me banned? And how do you know that this guy isn't telling the truth about what the dealer told him?

This site is about to take a nose dive if things like this keep happening. To pass along some anonymous guys printed words on another online automotive forum as somehow being legit industry source is not only a waste of everyone's time but show extremely poor judgment. If that posting in question had "some" credible source or info to back up the story that's fine, but this isn't it.

I agree. What a waste of time. How did this even end up here.

What is this? This is just some stuff (not credible information) from some post from some guy in some forum somewhere. Is this the kind of stuff AutoSpies puts in here? Makes me wonder about the other articles I have been reading.
