Default WWLRQCD? So I've been on a list for a GT-R for some time and finally got the "call" this week...

to come in and spec the car. When I originally placed the order to get on the list, MSRP was agreed upon along with a $1K deposit and I'm the number 4 spot--sales contract signed by the salesman and the sales manager. Continental Nissan calls to say their allocation is 4 cars and to come in and pick color, options, etc.

wOOt! Not.

Continental has credited back my original $1K deposit and is now asking MSRP + $25K. Their explanation, "we didn't know anything about the GT-R when they took my original order and now with all the hype, etc...take it or leave it"

Needless to say, I left, I'm not paying $25K over sticker and bear in mind, Nissan has expressly <a href="http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=124681">said</a> they will not abide price gouging on the GT-R.

So I ask, is my original contract actionable, do I pursue it, any other recourse recommendations or just tell me the car looks like *** anyways and good riddance?

Default EXACTLY. **** them.

if the dumb *** sales person and sales manager signed it and you did too (with no random fine lines and/or clauses), hire a lawyer and seek action.

+ $25K over MSRP? please.

Default that contract sounds absolutely enforceable. and their "excuse" is just pure b.s.

Any reasonably competent lawyer should be able to get performance, and probably attorney's fees too.
