Recently I was approached with an idea from a contact at a local Nissan dealership. Right now I wont talk names or what dealership. I am bring this to XN only to discuss because really - you all are the ones I can trust to give true input and not be jerks or weird about it.
So the idea was to take a new X (might be a lightly used one, or a new one, that is not figured out yet) and mod it up at the dealership. We are talking bumpers, skids, tires, upgraded suspension, possible lighting systems, maybe even getting into talking about titan swapping. At the moment everything is on the table.
The goal is to be able to mod this thing up and then sell it as is. Of course there would be some sort of mark up because they would need to cover the costs of the upgrades. They are talking about doing it as cost effective as possible.
The idea comes from another Nissan dealership that does this to 1 titan every couple months. They lift it and build it all up, then sell it. Once sold, they turn around and make a new one. Actually the guy I bought my sliders from traded his X in for one of them.
My question is - do people think there is a market for this sort of thing? I would like to think yes, I know there are people out there who wouldn't mind buying a truck already done up. I mean we see people build up nice 350 Zs and other vehicles, those are sold. This thing would be available to be shipped I am assuming or delivered to the right buyer.
Thoughts? Concerns?
