Skylines In Two Years?

[No Crust Racing]

Is that not part of the conversation though?

The status of classic that is.

We all probably agree the Z tune is a classic and that rare examples like N1, 400R, etc will hold some value, but it's not like all XYs are worth 150k.

Likewise I don't see ALL GT-R's skyrocketing, and holding, that value.

On the contrary.

Flow on.

All GTR's will skyrocket in price. Just some more than others.

As for holding value possibly, possibly not. I'd say the rare ones will, but the normal ones will drop off a bit after peaking. But eh. Sell before that happens lol

[No Crust Racing]

That's part of my concern, I only just bought it. If the peak is now then I'm going to lose out later =\

mate the 34 won't peak for another 20 years. You are fine.

[No Crust Racing]

I wont have it in 20yrs. I also think your read on the market is way off, but we'll have this chat again in 20 yrs

[Anfanee]

It's usually between 30 and 40 years that cars peak in value. You car isn't old enough to have peaked yet. No where near.

[No Crust Racing]

A I said, I wont have it for that long.

I'll be happy to keep it a few years and break even.

There's too many other cars I want to own and I'm not rich enough to have them all at once

[Nismo 3.2ish]

I will have to sell it now, I did not know all R34GTRs where wankers and butt bangers.

BUT what's not to luv with a 34 , well, any of the Skylines

You'll thank yourself later.

Just get a 33R. And you'll get 50% less wanker factor with purchase.

I'd love an R33 GT-R, I think they look cool (pumped guards FTW), plus Gran Turismo memories. They are also better engineered. But R34 is the dream car, now it's at dream prices sigh.

Anyone wanna swap R32 for R33? lol

Not much of a price difference between 32>33 so just sell and buy a 33.

[The Bogan]

I would keep the R32

[niZmO_Man]

Just need a small lotto win to get a full respray done then I'll ship it off to USA and buy an R34 with remaining money .

[The Bogan]

Buy nice R31 GTS R, apart from the R32 GTR that would be a nice Skyline to hold on to with the view of making a few bucks in the future, or at least not lose 50% of the cost price.

Much safer bet if you ask me, there may be a demand now hence the inflated prices, what happens in 5 or 10 years, I wouldn't buy a 34 as a investment, yes its the most advanced Skyline GTR but being the most advanced or last model doesn't mean its a worth while investment, a car needs history.

Ask any modern fan boys about their cars, Honda S200, Toyota GT4, Mazda RX7, Subaru 22B, Falcondoore VLXRSS8, every one says their cars will be collectable.

Anyways, keep up the good work.

Disclaimer: I could never keep a car nice enough to be classed as investment quality, some smart bugger once said something like, "Not driving your car is like not sleeping with your girl so she is more desirable to the next guy".

LOL, cars as investments, good luck with that.

If you can buy a car that is not loosing money , you are way ahead

I spent heaps on mine, but it looks and drives the way I want it, worth every cent!

"Not driving your car is like not sleeping with your girl so she is more desirable to the next guy".

Cars not much use if you do not drive it, BUT I like the idea of being the next guy

With respect, I would disagree with some of your statement.

The 34R DOES have history. Not as much as the 32R in terms of racing pedigree, but more so in Pop Culture.

Look at the major brands who have succesfully made an impact in Pop Culture.

Aston Martin and James Bond

Toyota 2000GT in James Bond

Trans Am in Mad Max

Dodge Charge in Dukes of Hazard

Deloreon in Back to the future

AND

R34 from Fast and Furious.

These cars are worth money in part because of Pop Culture. This will add value in years to come.

I'd like to see a mad Holden Bommodore that is globally recognised in Pop Culture. It's only the Aussie/NZ market that really know about them.

[Anfanee]

Agree with the above ^^

i would almost argue the R34 has more history than the rest.

Let him go. Structured reasoning and numbers sometime don't work with some people.

Conjecture on the other hand....

A world famous car with only 12,000 ever produced going up in price. Crazy talk. Buy an R31. You'll be a millionaire.

[Anfanee]

lol the 22b and the Rx7 won't be collectibles?

wat.

AE86.

It's a f**king piece of shit. Look at the prices those things command.
