Hi Guys
I've been lurking around this forum for quite some time now as I am pretty keen on buying a 2009 GTR and this is my first post so please take it easy on me!!!!
I have a few questions I was hoping you guys could answer for me.
1. What is a good price for a low mileage one (less than 30,000kms)? I'm from WA.
2. Does the 2009 model have any well known problems/issues that I should be aware of?
3. Are parts/servicing expensive and are the servicing intervals yearly or half yearly?
4. What are the differences between a premium and a non-premium model?
5. How do you know if a GTR is a Japanese Import or Australian complianced and what are the differences in both? Will it cost more to maintain/service/insure a Japanese model?
Sorry if these questions have already been addressed before but I am very close to buying one and need to gather as much info as I can.
At the end of the day, I am tossing up between a brand new Mercedes A45 AMG and a 2009 GTR. The Mercedes will be brand spanking new but depreciation will chop the value of the car in half in about 2 years time. The GTR is 5 years old but the car will not depreciate as much anymore. However, I am very concern that a 5 year old car which is built to be thrashed will cause me lots of trouble down the road and will be extremely expensive to maintain/repair.
Your suggestions will be much appreciated (please feel free to add anything else you think I should need to know before making this purchase)
Thanks heaps guys..appreciate it!
Scott
