veilside350z Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Hi guys, what are u views on the GTR. I was in the local dealer a few days ago and it was the first time i seen one up close, it just looks stunning in every way. I took it for a test drive and its a fantastic car to drive, power in these cars are next level. I was offered a brand new 10 plate for June/July delivery, for just over 60k. I have been scrolling through piston heads and u can pick up 6 months old with 2-3k miles for about 55k. Should i buy brand new or go for a second hand one?

AK350Z Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Not much difference in it really, especially once you see the cost of modding it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P15UL T Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 i would but a pre owned one and save yourself the 5K, at the end of the day its only 3000 miles or so on the clock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350zStephen Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I'd get one with low mileage, and save the £5-10k to help with running costs. Here is a nice one for you for £49,995. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1559974.htm EDIT: Just re-read the add. Error in advertisement - the car is actually on 11,000 miles.

I really dont know, either way need to get rid of the 350z first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350zStephen Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Does anyone know what the book price of the GTR's will be in 2 or 3 years time? I quite fancy one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats nice, but needs to be black. Bit high on the miles for me tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hang on, I'll just get my crystal ball from the other room.... Probably quite good if you don't mod it, see market prices of previous unmolested examples of R33/R34s etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Thats no bad, is it a black edition? What do u think of it? Never knew they were bringing a R36 out in a few years. I will only be keeping this for 6-8 months max.

Most cars will have done well if they are above 50% of their original value at the 3 year point. I've seen UK cars up for circa £46k so £37k isn't that far off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I agree with Sarnie on this one. It'll be interesting once the cars are out of warranty and the real ownership costs start turning up, that'll determine the price of the cars more than anything I suspect.
