V35 350gt Question...costs

[Ezy03]

hey guys I'm in the market for a v35 350gt coupe, 2003-04 model, I'm just trying to work out the costs of running the car etc (beforehand research) and I'm just wondering for those of you who have the car how much it costs for your servicing - major/minor - or how much your recent services costs and what got changed and looked at etc - also can anyone tell me there average cost of full tank of petrol/kms per tank/cost per tank... or l/100km stats for it?

got my car @ 49000km from Japan.

1st service @ Nissan was $650 which includes flush tranny oil (auto) as they found the auto tranny oil is a bit burnt.

they do a bunch of other usual service for a major 50,000km standard service back in Sept 08.

2nd service done 6 month later (Mar 09) at 56000km was $480 which includes replacing one of the component which I forgot what. brain dead after a long day at work. but I was told it was quite an important part. something to do with power steering or master cylinder or something. not major breakdown, but just need to be replaced for reliability purpose.

All done at City Nissan, cause i could catch tram straight to/from work - easy for me.

Next service due at 66000km or Sept 09, which I believe (based on my km usage) the car would probably only made 60000 by September. no idea how much it cost, but I would guess around $400

Average fuel out ot 60-65ltr fill between 450-600km, so between 10 - 13 ltr/100km depending how much 'fun' i'm having behind the wheel. mix traffic / highway driving

as a comparison, my wife's RAV4 & previous corolla service @ Toyota dealer cost her on average $500 per 10,000km or 6 months whichever comes first.
