Looking To Buy An 09 R35 Anyone Know Of One?

[handbrake]

Guys,

I miss having a street driven R35 and am looking at some on carsales. I am obviously looking to cast the net a bit wider though in here.

probably an 09. looking for low cost but very good interior and exterior. milage not such a problem as the engine, tranny and a host of other things will be given the boot for something more substantial.

dont know why but I have an itch for super silver or black

let me know if any of you know of a car or yourself have one you are selling that fits the billfor sale

[Wardski]

There were half a dozen 09's on and around the 100k mark a few months back, but these seem to have been snapped up. I think you'll be hard pressed getting one around the 100-105k mark now that the 2012 price has pushed the 200k envelope... Last time I looked the high kms 09's were in the 115k range...

I think it would be fair to say that the prices you see listed on carsales are not what they sell for.

Sure thing. When I was in the hunt here in Brisvegas, I had to go as far as WA to get the right price.. good luck with your hunt!

Anyone asking over 100k for an 09 out of warranty has got their hand on it!

[handbrake]

they are out there though.

the market will dictate the price to them in the long term.

I am watching the prices expectantly. no rush.....

Just like the owners asking $70-90k for 12-13 year old R34 GT-R Vspecs??........

Mark is right, market will dictate. Has to be noted that as the price rises for the 2012's and beyond, so to will values (warranty or not) of the 2nd hand market. It's just the way of the world.

Of course there will be those that need to sell ASAP (like Magic Nissan in WA who wanted to be rid of their new 2010 which had been sitting around in the show room for 14 months which I was thankful to pick up for a smashing price), and ultimately that is the deal worth waiting for..

stick it on a boat, bobs your uncle. about 50k. just another example of how much we get ripped off here.

[domino_z]

remember a good 50k+ of the new car price are government charges, so luxury cars will always depreciate exponentially

the depreciation of the 09's will start to plateau now

mate i wish we could, but alas we cannot...

Lol Wardski, if you think your R35 is going to be worth 70k when it's 12 years old, I think you know where your hand is! But then again if you leave it in the garage until then it maybe possible!

Hands are above the table... most of the time.. lol.. For sure if I'm doing 4000kms a year in my GTR, she'll be sub 50,000kms at 12 years.

In the end, who knows what the market will do. I'm amazed at how strong the dollars have stuck to both Nissan GTR R34's and even low kms Australian delivered Mitsubishi Evo IX's..

You can have a R34 GTR VSpec landed and complied for a LOT less than dreamer Carsales prices would have you believe. They simply aren't selling either if you watch them because they are way over priced in most instances. Come 6-12 months time the owners will wonder why they "didnt take the offer" they were given today, when they end up selling for even less... That's the way of the world

It's the 34 NURs / LE's that are still fetching high prices as the price in Japan is going up, but then they are rare - where a R35 - simply isn't.

35 pricing will continue to drop, it ain't about to go up.

[Snowman]

I like where this is going!

[Wardski]

35 pricing will continue to drop, it ain't about to go up.

I don't think anyone would disagree with this statement, but I highly doubt the 09's will drop into the $80-90k price bracket anytime soon. Sure they're not rare, but for the coin they're going for today, they're so much more bang for your buck than the Ltd Edition R34's..

I have seen some high kms 09's go for just under $100 - I see the incremental decrease in value being $3-5k a year, so give or take 3-4 years and we'll see the 09's in the $80-90k price range (dependent on kms/abuse/condition).

Maybe that will push R34 GTR's down to a more realistic amount, which in turn may keep the R35 pricing a little higher due to the differences?

[ossie cossie]

when i got mine some months ago, i went interstate bought it from Sydney for $108,000 with 9000kms on it. Also got shafted on stamp duty. what a rip off.

Are R35's depreciating faster than expected due to other things say...maintenance? Is your typical maintenance cost the same or just a tad higher than a R34 GTR (assuming stock cars)? I know for a fact that parts/aftermarket mods are much more than your predecessors. Or this is just a typical cycle when r34's were asking for an arm and a leg when first released?

[vspecIInur]

Definitely must buy one at some stage down the track. They're absolute weapons

Its hard to tell what the market is doing at the moment. Maintenance is fairly reasonable aside from major services (transmission oil), tyres and brakes, and I wouldn't expect this to affect car values..

What will be interesting is to see how much those 2009 model R35's out of warranty will go for in a years time - since the main concern with 2nd hand stock + modified GT-R R35's is the transmission failures (solenoids, gaskets, pressure sensors, shift forks, circlips, etc, etc...) and bell housings... These 2 points will be the main depreciation concerns as Nissan asks for $23,000 rubies to swap one out outside of the warranty period. I think it's just a shame that Nissan don't offer the same warranty here as the US (5 years) and there's still no "official" warranty extension available to purchase (rumours that Allianz was working with Nissan on offering an extension to owners seems to be 100% BS at this time).

For sure if the belly falls out of the "out of warranty" 2009 models, I'll be looking to move mine on around the 2.5 years ownership mark

Alternatively, I am not sure if you can cover "specific" parts of a car with vehicle insurance for mechanical failure, so that you don't have to have $23k sitting in a bank account in the unlikely event a transmission fails....
