Been lurking on this forum for a while and I have also been monitoring the prices of 2009 GT-R's. I was wondering when you think the private prices will drop to around the 70-75K mark, recently a car was auctioned by Grays online with a final sales price of $73,500 the car had ~60,000km. There have been a few examples of 85K on carsales however these don't last long or they are JDM 2008 GT-R's.

I know a GT-R is an amazing car and great value for money, I just find it interesting that their depreciation has plateaued or at least the price at which they are advertised. With some of your expertise do you think these cars are likely to fall around the 70K mark around February/March next year? Would the 2015 Model effect the price this much and also with anticipation of the new GT-R result in a similar change.

Feel free to voice your opinions

I cant see them falling that far for a long time yet. Remember that these were a $170k car.

If you have the cash or the means, do it now. Who knows where you will be in 1 year from now.

2015 model will make absolutely no difference at all. R35 may.

You didn't mention the auction car sold for $73,500 commands another 7% which then takes it close to 80k. Then add all the other bits like rego, possible new tyres, servicing, etc and the cheap selling price now seems a lot more.

The 7% is a fixed fee so that should probably be included in the calculation, but servicing tyres and rego could be an addition to every car bought second hand, however there is always an added risk to buying cars from auctions and arguably you can do a better deal privately with cash in hand.

It's certainly a great car for the price, but its holding value better than an M3 or a C63 or nearly every other car made in that year at that price point. I usually take redbook with a grain of salt however their prices are

Private Price Guide $80,500 - $88,100 Trade In Price Guide $71,800 - $79,400

and for the premium

* Private Price Guide $82,700 - $90,400 * Trade In Price Guide $73,800 - $81,500 * Average Km 50,000 - 90,000

If R35 prices dropped to 70k, good R34 GTR would need to be selling for under 40k. used car market on performance cars is based on bang for your buck as well. Will be a few years till it gets to that price in my opinion.

I guess like with anything to anything the value of the car is what a person is willing to pay for it! I doubt many 15 year old cars can command what the BNR34's do these days, but there is always that bang for buck element with these cars

It states this on their site.

Buyers Premium

A buyers premium of 7% applies to all lots purchased in this auction.

For example: Successful Bid Price is $100.00 + 7% Buyers Premium = $107.00 Invoice Total

Yeh but even with the 7% premium we are still looking at 78,645, which is quite a difference from the Private/Dealer prices

Auction cars can tend to get a fair bit cheaper.

The trade off being you can't drive the car- that's very risky for an R35.

I imagine prices will hold firm for quite some time, these cars are in demand and production is low.

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      By drifter17a · Posted

      So now doing the change and first time dealing with rb so little nervous giving engine power and potential for screwing it up When you align all marks and then remove crank bolt, timing move little I assume you can put the bolt back in once you have removed the pully to get timing to where you want?   here is pic of my both intake and exchust cam aligned, depending on angle you look they seem to be either aligned or a half tooth or so out. Any thoughts? Should you angle your face and look at each mark that way as if looking straight rather than from above as it can be misleading   <a href="https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/HfWrGR9b/IMG-4447.jpg" alt="IMG-4447" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/JWBqWwr1/IMG-4445.jpg" alt="IMG-4445" border="0"></a>   https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.

      Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..

      You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.
