Sevs Listed R35 Gtr

[NISMO]

look at the bottom pic does that say skyline on the back ha ha

Yep :-)

The pics they've attached are from ages ago, but the article is quite good in that it backs up what others are saying and that is that, bringing one in aint as easy as what people may think.

Yes by the time we will be able to import them the market price will be around 6mill the depreciation is huge on new cars in Japan, so another reason to wait.

I don't think they will be 6 million within 18 months especially with a 4 to 6 month wait for a new one and they are selling at the Auctions at 9.5 to 11.5 FOB, it will be a few years before that happens.

If 7.7 for a new one who would pay 6 for a 2 year old one.

i guess the facts are there are 6 or seven in aus now one driving around in canberra regersterd people will and have paid the money to get em in

[GT51R]

No, there is not one registered in Canberra, there is absolutely no way to legally road register an R35 GTR at this time.

Don't mistake a trade/dealer plate, for a normal registration plate.

I worked for one of Japans largest used car exporters for 2 year going to auction 4 times a week so I have seen my fare share of depreciation from new to second hand cars. It all depends on the popularity and market conditions domestically in Japan but I have definitely seen cars devalue more than 20% within the first 12 months.

look like real plates to me unless you guys have diffrent looking trade plates from 15 years ago that was the last time i was down south

[trism]

nah they definately trade plates

[funkymonkey]

yeah they're definitely tradeplates.

[Duncan]

must be. there is n way it can be registered. The just jap one will be the first one with rego and that is at least weeks away - even then it is only conditional rego. Full road rego is at least 12 months away (personal import), unless someone can actually get SEVS before then

[DRIFTER]

aren't you bringing in a few, you must be worried that you can't register them?

The perth one has been cruising around my mates have seen it out and about.

I dont know what all the hype is about the grey imports - its a great car, but its not something thats going to be super rare or hard to get - but If I was genuinely interested and comfortably had the money to afford the Vehicle I would buy a Legitimate one from Nissan.

As people have mentioned, its a new car and new cars have problems - especially in a car that relys on so many electronics to run it. Its not like your Basic 15 year old Skylines/Silvias that most mechanics know how to work on. When Nissan sell them here, they will train there mechanics and provide them with the right diagnostic software etc for the vehicles - with your grey import, you may get one a couple of months before the Oz delievered vehicle but if something goes wrong with it - its your loss!! 100+k is a big investment in something thats not secure.

In 5-6 years the hype will die down and the Vehicles will probably be around the 45-60 thousand dollar mark.

yeah the FABCAR one has been cruising around on it's FABCAR "dealer plates"

[GT51R]

Hmmm, an R35 as cheap as $45,000 by 2013? Approx. 70% depreciation, equating to roughly $21,000 a year?

That's impossible for anything other than a damaged example.

[Duncan]

70% in 5 years is pretty typical depreciation.

[carizma]

70% in 5 years is pretty typical depreciation.

Totally agree, 50% in 3 years is normal in Japan especially as the first 3 years Shaken has expired then so 70% in 5-6 years is well within the realms of possibility.

[yc89]

can we apply for Trade plate? lol

[Iron Chef]

70% in 5 years is pretty typical depreciation.

GT-Rs aren't typical cars.

For reference, check the list price on an R34 GT-R back in 1999 and what they're still fetching at auction today, 9 years later. I doubt you'll see a $45K R35 GT-R inside 15 years, if ever, or unless fuel hits $5 a litre suddenly

[sh@un]

The major difference with R35's will be, as they will be sold new by Nissan australia, lots of them will be leased as part of a salary package or for 'business' use, and the depreciation will be written of against tax according to the maximum allowable in the ATO tax tables. This pretty much guarantees the prices will drop fairly rapidly in the first 3-5 years.
