What everyone think about this new GTR price?

considering nissan has upped the price over the years without any significant improvements, i bet the profit margin is big enough that they can go lower.
as with any negotiation, go much lower, and meet somewhere in between. If you don't go low enough, you'll never know how big of a discount you could have had. Even if they laugh at you, you can always up your price and then walk.

Just because the basic drivetrain hasn't changed doesn't mean there haven't been significant improvements. The 2017 refresh added creature comforts, but the 2015+ models drive very differently than the models before them.

As for the price of the red one for $80k, good luck getting that OTD, that would mean that they would be selling that car for low $70's on a brand new car depending on your taxes which would be $30k off. I don't think it is possible but there is always some deals that defy logic.

I think it's a good deal for a brand new car and don't think they will go much lower than that, $23k off MSRP is solid. If you like red get it, if you are settling for a color you don't like move on. I bought a 2015 black edition with 150 miles on it for $80k 4 months ago.
I like the 2017's a little better but they raised the prices of these even more where msrp is around $111k which is too much for a car that hasn't changed much in 8-9 years which is evident in the GTRs lowest sales ever last month. IMO $80k MSRP is the sweet spot for a GTR.

Often, Internet-posted prices like that are firm and nonnegotiable. In general, if the dealer will go lower, then fine...you've saved even more....but it's not a given. Tango Red may or may not be correct about the changes for 2017 forcing the dealer to go lower...you won't know until you try, and the worst they can say is no. If the dealership does go lower, though, make sure that the salesperson or business manager isn't slipping something else or charging you for that you aren't aware of...things like paint-sealant, a service/oil-change package, extended warranty, etc....
Last, remember that buying a car like this is one thing...insuring it and running it may be another matter. What you save up front. at the dealership, may be spent further down the road. Check with your insurance company (or other companies, if you aren't satisfied with your own) for policy-costs....you can bet that policies for a car like this won't be cheap. (GEICO, in general, has has lower rates than many other firms, but they can be picky about who they take). And if your county or state (like Virginia, where I live) has an annual personal-property-tax based on a car's assessed-value, you're going to pay quite a bit in those taxes until depreciation starts to set in after a couple of years. Fortunately, those property taxes are deducible on your Federal tax return.

It now only has 450 miles on it. I just haven't had time to drive it much and when I do the weather hasn't been good. I will say the 2015 drives softer and quieter than my old 2013 with the newer suspension and the addition of more sound deadening starting in 2015.

When I bought my 2013 I was going to daily drive it but after driving it a couple days I had to get another daily driver. It can be done pretty easily but with me dropping my young kids off at school each day it was too difficult for them to get out every morning with the big console between the seats and not being able to open the passenger door. For now it is for weekend duty.
