i have a family friend who knows IMG group very well, 1 of their customers is selling a black r35 premium model and will take 140k.

there seems to be a massive variance when u compare this to carsales website average price at 150-175k.

i still cry about selling my dads torana ss, 5ltr 2door, 1st owner for 4k in 2001...i then saw the exact same model on carsales in 2008 for 98k and it did sell within a month

Interesting analogy (exclusivity of model variant), but bad choice in cars :)

When I purchased my M3 in 2006, I could have purchased a similar year model CSL for EXACTLY the same price.

Exclusivity is one thing, but application and associated practicality is another. The CSL is PURELY a track car. Nothing else. Fixed bucket seats, no sat nav, no television, compressed CARDBOARD BOOT FLOOR ( :blink: ), no sunroof, etc etc....

It has an EXTREMELY TINY target market, and the low price they go for reflects this.

I understand and agree with your analogy, but bad choice in example :blush:

Ive actaully been looking for 2005 model M5s. New they were 230K+. Now they can be had for 130K.

Thats a lot of depreciation. The R35 would probably be even worse, as it is certain to have been flogged and also has a very small target audience.

It's worse than that mate :)

M5s go new for about $250k on the road...

You can get 2005 models with 30-40,000kms for about $105-110,000

For $125-130k, you should be looking at a 2006 with 20-30,000kms :blush:

I wouldn't be buying an M5 from a private seller with no warranty though, but that's just me ;)

thx for making me feel even better. Is that the list pirce you have seen 105-110K from a dealer ? or is that after 'merli negotiations' :)

OKAY FORD/HOLDEN DRIVERS

The GTR doesnt carry a common door or isnt a normal family car with extra badges or a massive v8 engine and some bigger brakes!!!

there a supercar, i rekon u'd pay $100K++ even when they head towards 100,000km... considering that @ 80,000km the engine has to come out n get stripped and checked so theres big bucks and least things would get fixed if need be!

but yeah i really doupt they could loose as much as a mass production car, but like people said... its all to do with condition and spec, kms ect.

but wat i do know is, lol is that the HSV 427 will be 60 grand with 40,000km lol and 3 years old

><

Had a work colleague who just bought a 2006 M5 (I went along for the test drives and negotiations), so those are prices from DEALERS that we were able to negotiate down to.

You should be able to get them even cheaper from private sellers if you're comfortable with that avenue :laugh:

The market has dropped out of the bottom for high-end luxury cars (as you obviously know), so dealers are willing to deal to move their stock.

1. Past price movements of older GTR models can't be used as a guide because apart from the 100 R32's that were brought in by Nissan, they were never officially sold here.

2. Any item is only worth what a buyer is willing to pay. It's pointless to sit here and try and forecast what an R35 will be selling at in 5 years time because we don't know what the demand will be once cars are sold on the second hand market.

3. Just because a car (or any other asset) is advertised for a certain price or valued by a valuer at a certain price that doesn't mean the car will sell at said price.

i.e. it's all good to be quoting asking prices we've seen on Carsales or SAU, but we don't know what the final purchase prices were. They were likely lower than the advertised price.

IMO prices of R32 - R34 skylines of all kinds really started to take a dive once the second hand market was flooded with grey imports. This was a blessing and a curse. It meant regular people like myself could afford to purchase one. It also meant that owners who purchased their cars when they were still quite expensive took a huge depreciation hit.

I think the two biggest factors that will determine how well R35 GTR's hold their value will be:

i - the demand for the cars on the second hand market

ii - the number of grey imports available on the second hand market.

an R36 will come out eventually and everyone will jump on that bandwagon like they have with the r35 :3some: so the price will drop like it has with the R32/3/4

Its not like its a KPGC10 or KPGC110 GT-R.

I keep seeing the R32/R33/R34 mention but not the 2 most important GT-Rs, which are probally worth more then the current r35.

Has anyone negotiated on a discount price for the R35 (new) considering the current "buyer's market" due to the price of cars plummeting?

as i mentioned on this forum, the cheapest i know is a black r35gtr with 3000km for 140k :P

3000km on the clock would be a used one, though.

I am wondering if anyone has ordered a new one and got less than $170k for the car.

Interesting to know because a lot of prestige cars in that segment are finding it difficult to find owners.

R35 GTR residual value will be the same as in any other car. It's a mass produced car that 'currently' has high interest/ demand. Wait 3 years time and see if the demand is still as strong. Nissan Australia had strong initial demand for R32 back in 1991, then they had some problem selling it later on.

the only thing driving cars down lately is the current gobal crisis with money.

people borrow to much, and have to give it away with miniumal loses

=] i still rekon over $100k easy for a 7yr old one, its the japenese lambo =]]]

its a Super car, not a common car with 1,000,000 build no's every year

and they aint just a robot knocked up peice of junk like holdens n yank tanks with face lifts of the model 10years ago.

    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
