They are only worth what someone will pay no matter how much you still owe them. As Benny says the swap price and the advertised price are never the equal.

There will always be people who bought one new and are not prepared to take a bath so hang on (and can afford to hang on). And there will be people who, for one reason or another, will take a haircut because they want out.

The market never lies!

So you're trading in at just over 100K. What are you trading in on? How much are you spending with the dealer? How much money will the dealer be making on the new car he sells you? Ask him how much he'll give you for the car wholesale! Get my drift?

9,000 klms, 100k. Can't really ask for much better if it's immaculate.

They're starting to come out of the wood work now! Maybe 90K is not that far away after all!

$90k is probably on the low side but good luck, it's a very small market. Either way, you're going to drop $1.5k a month on depreciation yourself for a while, too. Which will make the $10k you save (vs the current price) look like play money.

Im shopping for a new car at present, have been searching for a clean gayside blue R34 GTR for quite a while with no luck.

That depreciation is accurate and fantastic (for buyers). To me - it makes the R35 even more appealing.

how bout that one??

My dealer is trading my 09 in for just over the 100 mark, I assume they will turn it around to the next buyer for about 110 ish.

My advice:

1. You may have to up your budget a little, maybe by as much as 20 - 25%

2. Dont worry about the number, it only happens once, after that it is all about the car, and what a car it is!

You will be delighted, go on, do it!

Yeah that’s fair enough, thanks for all the feedback and advice guys. I have pushed out the budget to 100K and see what I can find.

Really want a black GTR, but it’s becoming much harder then I thought.

Hey mate, a nice grey one was listed @ $99,000 last night on car sales.

Hope it helps!

It may be a ballpark figure...

a) now if it comes up at a Pickles Prestige Car Auction

b) now as a 'repo'

c) soon if the Euro collapses > negative spin-off everywhere else

Methinks an ADM will maintain its value better over time than a JDM too.

From memory, ADM R35 was released around April 2009.

So im curious to see if a swarm of them enter the market around April this year when the 3 year leases end.

Obviously this would mean more to choose from and in turn - even more competitive / lower prices.

Definitely was April 2009 - I remember it well. :)

But there was also a very small influx of cars from the initial delivery - so really don't expect to see a whole lot until around June / July if you think the 3 year thing will be the key factor.

In the mean time, while you are all waiting for them to come down..............

You are missing out on DRIVING it.

Anything under $110,000 for an R35 is the bargain of the century!

And, while I have loved the R34s, they are not even on the same planet as the R35s.

Can't believe people that own these GTR's. I have spoken to three people selling black ones and they are all F#@ked in the head.

All I want is a BLACK GTR, I'm offering good money not low balling anyone and still. OVER IT !!!!!!!!!!!

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
