Sevs Listed R35 Gtr

[Snowman]

Awesome news.

There will actually be some real market forces involved in 2nd hand r35 GTR's in years to come, instead of being dictated by the )probably small) number Nissan will bring in.

There is probably only going to be small numbers brought in by Nissan now as everyone is going to know that since these can be brought in from Japan the value of these cars are going to die in the ass much like the R32 GT-R so your investment losses are going to be huge. Which means only the real die hards will buy them now.

In many ways I personally find that disappointing.

It's kinda of a double edged sword.

If you can get the "grey" import cheaper than your intial investment is less, however if they were only sold by Nissan then the prestige and mystique would hang around much longer and in turn, as you said, keep the value up.

For most people grey imports is the better bet as it means once they drop in price they would be accessible to more people.

according to geoff at prestigemotorsport, new example will be around the $120k complied, while second hand example will be around the $100k complied.

Early 2009 is the expected availability date

How much was R33 GT-R when it first came out? *waits for 10 years time when R35 is affordable*

[R32zilla]

130-150K

I had heard on the rumour mill that Herman from Envy Imports was importing them and doing the SEVS compliance. Being local to him is nice, might pop down once he has an R35 in stock and have a geez

At least the rumour is confirmed. Time to start saving. Hah

[carizma]

So many variables here, hard to say. We calculate it at about that (actually $125k) if valuing 8 mil FOB and 4k for compliance. Who knows, really, cause no one has compliance yet. Also, who knows what the exchange rate will be in 2009.

There's another thread about the 18-month window that Nissan has to import it themselves....see http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Un...R3-t202581.html for more info. Basically, if Nissan brings them in full volume (before 18 months expiry date) no one else can. And until Nissan releases what their intentions are, everyone else's hands are tied.

i was under the impression that any current compliance plate would only be for the new model, or under 10 000 kms..

any only be good for models up to the date nissan brings them in... much like the s15

?

[carizma]

Sure, but Nissan hasn't brought them in yet full volume, so it depends on what they do.

A nice read from Prestige which supports what others have said

So people know with New Car under SEVS is under 300 klm's only to be deemed new and in the US they are getting $20,000 US over list when placing an order.

You will not get one from the auctions under 9,500,000 Yen FOB and people quoting 7,700,000 becoming 8,200,000 FOB it is way off and actually a joke.

agreed! I have bought a couple and it's not easy, or cheap. very limited supply from nissan and lots of hassle for exporters to buy one new (compared to just buying any old car at auction) means anyone would be mad to do a regular FOB as the number they can buy is very, very limited.

[carizma]

right, and let's not forget about the dereg certificate, which means every car has to be registered first, adding to the cost on top of that before it can be deregistered.

[Beer Baron]

tell me about it. and of course if you are buying a new car from nissan they have been instructed NOT to sell to exporters. so they wont like it if you order more than one, which is hard enough anyway as you need a parking spot for it, and if you don't have enough in your house you'll need to rent one, within a certain radius of your house, and it has to be big enough to fit the car and the police will check this to make sure you are legit. all big hurdles and all add time/cost.

you can borrow my yard he he

[funkymonkey]

been watching the R35's at the auctions in the last few weeks and the ludicrous prices being demanded for them have dropped to market value of about 8 million yen to 9 million yen. That said, that's just the auction price... FOB would be a lot more.

Yes by the time we will be able to import them the market price will be around 6mill the depreciation is huge on new cars in Japan, so another reason to wait.
