I think they are excellent value, try seriously hotting up an R33 or R34 & see how much you lose.

I dont think that there is any doubt that they are excellent value for money and no one is disputing that fact but that has no bearing on their value in 2 years time in the used car market.

Hey, anybody knows the performance of a modern 1000cc sportsbike - top speed 300kmh+, 0-100 in maybe 3sec, 1/4 mile in low 10's - hell, anybody wants to buy my one for what I bought it for 2 years ago, anybody.

Yeah, thought so, same story will be a GT-R. Plus, all the hype has already died down, now its just another car, awesome, but still its just a car.

This topic can actually extend a bit and discuss the issue where a perceived Euro cars maintain their value much better than Japs - hmmmm, I wouldn't wanna be an owner of that 2 year old RS-4 on carsales: 165K + orc when new, now he has it advertised for 105K. Damn, even excluding ORC costs that is a whopping 36% loss in 2 years.

Or something more comparable to a GT-R: 911 GT2, 8 years old, price when new was 400-450K I think, now its advertised for 225K. Ouch. Still better than RS4, but 50% loss in 8 years, damn.

Biggest difference between these two examples and the R35 GT-R is that these vehicles remained stock, and with poser businessman they also still have a name/brand appeal.

You could somehow conclude that a stock, ADM in good condition should not lose more than 35% in 2-3 years time. You'd hope. Still, looks like one of the posters earlier was right: sub 100K doesn't look so crazy now.

[rehab2010]

OK, 911 GT-2 was 425K when new, now they have them advertised for 205K, 223K and 225K. Only 50 delivered in Oz. If you got this GT-2 eight years ago you'd have to feel raped now, even without CPI indexation.

Out of all car brands in Australia in a survey i read last year, AUDI's had THE WORST resale value of ALL brands ever. If you buy one it will go down the most over its new price.

Australian's don't know or respect Audi's I guess. Dunno its just not loved by Aussies the way BMW's are.

I don't know about you guys, but I bought my R35 to keep, i an't selling it so could careless about resale. Its the only car its its price for performance, looks & kudos. The closest thing to it is the BMW M3 which I was thinking about buying till I drove it and thought it was boring as hell, and slow as hell compared to the R35.

as the money comes in and as I get me teeth into motorsport I plan to keep this thing and work it over bigtime. I think I am going to need marriage counselling though.

Very old saying in motorsport."My wife said if I don't stop racing she is going to leave me.Well man I'm going to miss her". I mentioned that to Lisa Curry-Kenny several years ago at Bathhurst when hubby Grant was racing.Havn't seen him on the scene for a while.I geuss for some it's all about priorities.Strong willed girl that one.

Cars always drop value, if you want to play you have to pay.

Not wanting to burst your bubble mate but the examples quoted rehab2010 are extremely relevent. The R35 may be the most hyped car for a long time but lets not forget it also wears a nissan badge wich certainly does not have the prestege attached to it that the audi and bmw badges do hence i would think that the resale will probably be worse than that of the examples given regardless of performance etc.

I would actually be thinking that resale in 2 years time will be more like 95-100k. Lets not forget that there will also be a stigma attached to them in regards to service history and the like and seeing as how all the cars data will be available to potential buyers there will be no hiding the history of the car ( unlike the M3 RS4 etc) so potential buyers will be able to see if the car has had a hard life or not and lets face it who is not going to give their R35 a hard time. Also the fact that there will be no warrenty offered by the time the car is 2 years old and it is a horrendously expensive car to maintain requireing gearbox oil changes, brake and rotor changes etc at much shorter intervals thann the examples mentioned this will limit the resale market to the true enthusiest's rather than the wealthy buisnesmen wich in my opinion will also be more likely to be taking the prestege of a badge into account. I guess we will all find out in a few years time but i think you are kidding yourself if you think that you will not see at least 30-35% depreciation over 2 years IMHO.

thankgod someone has an idea! not to take anything away from this car, i f**king love it but the ass will drop out of these things in a few years (regarding price that is).

its just the way the car market is in australia, and seeing this is a nissan and only select few would like to spent 100k on a nissan (let alone 170) makes it even worse

but let me make it clear i love this thing and if i had the cash id buy one. dont grill me

I was quoted $170k for a Super silver back 3 months ago, so it would of been $167,000 brand new premium ADM one including everything at the time.

Your pricing your car at $2000 discount on what it would of cost when you got it and your car comes with a great deal of unknown thrashing by manager.

When spending this much i'd rather get a fresh one for a tiny tiny bit more. Although some people hate to wait.

[ron]

agreed with Munro, if you wanna play you have to pay, simple.

back to topic, Nissan will always be Nissan, will always depreciate faster than other euro exotics.

But does not matter what car it is, the more it cost the more it has to drop.

p.s. it is me or everyone here seems to own R35?!!!!

[gts4diehard]

Just cruising the NZ car sites and saw this for sale at a dealer, not sure if NZ new or JDM one.... 4000kms for $129,000 NZ http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-203722946.htm

If it was a matter of simply bringing it over on a ship then it would be a bargain at around $103,000 Au.
