what would you do???

[GTR 94]

well my buisness idea has fallen through so now that ive got some cash lying around its time to buy a car and your opinion would help. im looking for AWD turbo and i dont like EVO's.

so here are my options.

1. WRX

2. R32 GTR

3. or wait till summer is over and the good driving times are over and buy a r33 GTR june or july next year?

my real fear is DEPRECIATION (think i spelt it wrong) but yes i hate that word and i relise that somthing is only worth what some one is willing to pay for it.

from the 3 i have noted, i feel that the R32 has done most of its depriciating and realisticly wont fall bellow the 18 or 20 mark in 2 to 3 years. or am i wrong?

any comments would be greatly appreciated.

if depreciation scares you then it's time to buy a $500 commodore and accept it.

Car's are not a good investment and you buy them to drive and not make money on.

BTW, the R32 GTR are not likely to depreciate any time soon with the 15 year old import rule going.

WRX are quick in the hands of any driver. Having own one before, they're very forgiving if you make a mistake. Boring if you ask me cause it understeers.

GTR however, will punish you for mistreating it. Drive it right and it's more fun.

You never will know about depreciation. It could drop below those marks.

If you want, you can have mine for $25k. 1993 R32 GTR.

all cars depreciate... it just depends on the degree of depreciation. Your right, a car is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it and cars are no exception. They are subject to the normal forces of supply and demand.

Go the R32 GTR... it will depreciate over the next few years but nowhere near the amount for the R33 GTR, mainly due to the discrepancies with the importing laws and DOTARS

great answer...

i know someone with a $300 VK if your interested .. it won`t depreciate much from there

[martydaman]

lol... you could give it away for free after 3 years and wont depreciate as much as skyline in a few months

[GTR 94]

yeah might look in to the commodore more a VB or somthing like that lol

well thanx alot guys i think the GTR is the best way to go i used to have a R33 GTST and i loved that so i might need just to sacrifice the age difference and settle for the power and control. thanx again.

dont buy any car if you're scared of depreciation

cars arent investments (most of them anyway)

Haha the amount of people that tried to talk me out of getting my car because of that...maybe they're happy driving excels!!!

It's always possible the the (R32) GT-R will become a collectable car in the future. More so if it was Oz-delivered, since it's one of only 100 (?).

Get the 32 GT-R and with the left over money spend it on re-conditioning it that way its reliable.

Like everyones said, a car is just for driving, not an investment. But in terms of rationability the 32 would be the go (its so old that its not going to depreciate at the same rate as that of the WRX or R33 GT-R. Any car you have you are going to lose money on. Except for antique cars but thats a different league altogether.

Go the 32 GT-R
