When a $ 90,000 sports car like the 2010 Nissan GT-R goes up in flames in the middle of a locked showroom, curiosity flares up like a bad case of the vehicle recalls. According to The Gainesville Sun, however, that’s just what occurred at a local dealership recently. Night security found out about the blaze moments after locking up for the night around 10 p.m. Sunday. Carol Davis, a fire rescue spokeswoman, told the Sun that a causal investigation is still underway.

People want auto loans for their 2010 Nissan GT-R cars
Clearly, nobody wants exploding parts in their performance 2010 Nissan GT-R sports vehicles. The spark plugs of a shiny new Super Silver GT-R are supposed to fire and make the engine purr, but no other explosions are expected. With this explosion, firefighters had to smash their way through glass doors to get to the engulfed Nissan. {This is certainly not the kind of service that dealerships are fighting for these days|Sadly, that isn’t the kind of service dealerships had in mind as they compete for customer business during this recession|Without a doubt, no dealership wants that kind of fight to get customers into their service department.
And the security guard couldn’t even get back inside
According to the Sun, this was quite strange, considering that the guard had just locked the doors moments before. This begs the question: Are Nissan dealerships such high-security establishments that the door locks have the intelligence to continually change their key patterns? Regardless, the Nissan dealership’s parts and services director, Stacy Calhoun, told the press that firefighters are still trying to determine whether the 2010 Nissan GT-R fire started inside or outside the car, as well as how it happened. Arson hasn’t been ruled out, however.
'It’s unusual for a car to catch fire in a closed building,’ Davis exclaimed
No additional damage came to the dealership or its inventory, which includes another Nissan GT-R. The Gainesville Fire Department is more than likely to blame for this positive ocurrence. The dealership likely has insurance to cover the lost 2010 Nissan GT-R and thankfully a potential auto loans-carrying customer would have similar recourse. If it’s an internal problem, there will likely be some kind of manufacturer’s recall or warranty coverage. But what of those non-recall eligible2010 Nissan GT-R vehicles that explode after warranty; will a consumer’s comprehensive insurance coverage be enough?
