I have considered it, but one of my criteria is price... unless I get one imported (which I am considering...) I can only afford the 350GT-8. Also, my concern isn't that great. I throw about $200 worth of gearbox oil into my R33 every 12 months, $800 every 100,000km is a little more but if that is what I have to pay then I will have to pay it.
Major fear would be the gearbox failure, which I would imagine would be uncommon as the cars aren't 11ty years old and (hopefully) have had relatively easy lives.
But back to the subject, if it rides too low for my liking I won't buy ANY V35, be it CVT, auto, manual or Fred Flintstone style. Would probably go a WRX or an Aristo
