Thanks for input gents. Always interesting to see different perspectives. Dealers are currently advertising 2013 GTR's for 198k drive away. Ridiculous. They must be expecting a decent drop when negotiating if that's the starting rrp price. I'm not too keen on 2nd hand but at those prices I may need to think a bit longer.

Thanks guys. Very informative. Appreciate the info. How did you find the Brisbane dealers responded to you after buying car from WA ? So it's does seem like list price is negotiable depending on stock and time of year.

Hi Everyone Since the release of the R35 GT-R I have always wanted to own one of these beasts. Being of the playstation1/gran tourismo generation I have always held a fascination with the GTR and am lucky enough to now be in a position to afford one. In doing my research I come across a lot of GTR haters and lots of commentary on "glass gearboxes" and Nissan voiding warranties for very little reason. These seem to be related typically to earlier model R35's but not always. So I have a few questions I would love to get your views on. 1. Are these gearbox issues sorted with newer model 2012 and 2013 R35's ? 2. Do Nissan after 3 years offer extended warranties ? 3. The stock sound seems a little tame. Do australian dealers have issues with adding somethng like willall mid pipes to give it a better sound ? 4. Whats options are available after warranty expires to harden gearboxes in Australia and what do these cost ? Do dealers negotiate at all on price from the quoted list pirce of $188k Thanks to everyone who responds. feel free to answer any or all of these questions.
