Big thanks to West End Nissan for letting us whore up there service bay while Steve, Chris and Myself strobed the living hell out of it with our cameras. I can’t remember the guy’s name that let us in but I’m sure Steve does right? lol ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v356/ragerman/pic1.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v356/ragerman/pic1.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v356/ragerman/pic2.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v356/ragerman/pic2.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v356/ragerman/pic3.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v356/ragerman/pic3.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v356/ragerman/pic4.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v356/ragerman/pic4.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v356/ragerman/pic5.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v356/ragerman/pic5.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v356/ragerman/pic6.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v356/ragerman/pic6.jpg) ---

I saw a silver one at Mills Nissan on Friday afternoon, parked curbside on the north side of the showroom. I haven’t changed my mind. It’s still an ugly car IMO. ---

Nah no scratches, the cars are actually quite dirty… you would think West End would have them spotless… also you would think that West End would be selling those cars for the list price, not $120 000! after the sales guy told me that i made a call down to a dealership in Dallas, Texas and they have a black one on the lot for $83 000. If I was buying one I think I would bring it across the boarder… dunno how hard that is with new cars though. ---

The USA has 2 or 3 different models that they sell… I was told this buy a guy who owns one and he waited two years for his 🙂 ---

it sounds like sherwood nissan is giving better deals than west end… I figured it wasn’t hard to import new cars from the states cause people are always doing it with corvette’s cause its way cheaper, so i assumed the same for GTR’s (I mean I’m talking about a $40 000 difference!!)… The car i was talking about was on the lot, so no waiting 2 years for your ride… but hey if i was in anyway capable of purchasing a GTR, i would wait for the V-Spec anyway. (or build an R32 that is faster) ---

^ I personaly will never go to purchase aything from West End Nissan (I know there is lots of fans for them here). They may have changed since I have dealt with them years ago…but doesnt sound like it from the pricing on the GTR. Im a Sherwood Nissan Fanboy myself. But I will see my car is in the shop for warranty work on the struts so I will see how that goes 🙂 ---
