hate to state the obvious, tried using carsales.com.au ? or calling your local nissan dealer ?

new ~$175k i think

i not hate using carsales.com.au ? or calling your local nissan dealer ?

but rrp and asking from dealer prices is always different to what ppl end up paying.

if carsales provide dealer buy direct price

reason for asking is home work and prepare and compare.

thx for your $175k price tag

ive been seeing drive away new prices @ $185ish.

Used 2009 ones have been going from $134k upwards, asking price is about 160ish but they'll take $150K, most of the dealers are finding it hard to move used ones.

I Dont know what they cost in Australia. In Norway where i live they cost about 338307 AUD. Insane

Yeah I've heard stories about the cost of living in Norway. I thought we were bad compared to the USA.

You do have the best healthcare in the world though apparently :)

I've also heard that while sales have been above expectations overall, they haven't exactly been flying out the door. I suppose the GFC didn't really help but whilst I know it's not a car for everyone, I don't understand why more people aren't buying what is surely one of the bargains of the century.

hmm...about $85k for race rally import from japan for a 3 year old car. nissan aus are doing OK for themselves adding $100k for a new one.

nothing like a monopoly for keeping prices up....and interesting to note that the prices went up when the yen rose , but did not go down when the yen fell and import duty reduced.

I was at the nissan dealer today

$188500 including all on roads for a 2010 base car + options

Where do they get off on that price? What are your options you mention? When I bought it was $148800 for the base car, ($4K more for premium) plus $10K dealer delivery and $6K for stamp duty and rego. Total around $165K. Then there was a $7K price rise and then another $3K when the MY10 model came out. All up another $10K. This would push the base to $175K on road and the premium to $179K. Silver paint would add some more but not $9K! Sounds like they're getting a bit carried away when in 12 months the car has gone up $20K on road...

Not sure, atm i still cant afford one realistically for a year or so, so it was more of an enquiry. They did let me test drive it though (grey premium spec demo, my10 with 623km on the clock), my what a car! Makes my 34 look like a micra. The dealer did say they have a waiting list! hence the premium over sticker price. Have to remember it is a supercar after all and paying more than the base sticker isnt really uncommon for super cars.

Id happily pay 190k for one tbh, ive tested alot of cars and allthough its "only a nissan" its one hell of a car. I can really see why all the reviews said it was the bargin supercar.

It may not be illegal to charge over RRP but I know Nissan Aust would have something to say about it! The way the dealers screwed us at the start was by making the dealer delivery $10K! Nissan couldn't stop them doing this and the dealer's justification was that they needed to "tool up" their workshops for the GT-R. It was just another $10K cream on top of their margins. I'd love for you to have asked the dealer for the breakdown of the pricing because short of him having a DD of $20K I cannot see how he could arrive at that price. Unless you're in WA of course and your stamp duty is sky high. The quote must always show the car at RRP plus DD plus rego and Stamp duty etc etc otherwise they'd be going against Nissan Aust policy of not selling over RRP....... And this info was from the dealer's own mouth when he indicated that some people were prepared to pay $20K over sticker just to be the first kid on the block with one. He said they couldnt entertain the thought however appealing it may have been. I guess they always could have just charged $30K DD! I mean Nissan let them get away with $10K didn't they? Still ludicrous, just more ludicrous....

Which dealer was that, Norfolk Island? You can get a Gunmetallic Grey (extra cost) for $180K on the road from Col Crawford Lifestyle Cars in Brookvale, Sydney. Ask for Alex :D

PS. What options...floor mats or a tankful of fuel?

I've also heard that while sales have been above expectations overall, they haven't exactly been flying out the door. I suppose the GFC didn't really help but whilst I know it's not a car for everyone, I don't understand why more people aren't buying what is surely one of the bargains of the century.

Because for that price you could buy a 2 year old DB9 Aston Martin, A near new BMW M6, a 2 year old Maserati Gran Turismo, an assortment of brand new Porsches, Various New AMG's, A 6 month old Audi R8 V8 version, Add another $40k and you get yourself a 4 year old Lambo Galardo, Add $50k and you can get yourself a 2006 F430 thats done less than 5000km, a decent boat, a sizeable deposit on property, hire a high class escort for a year, ect ect ect....

There are millions of reasons why people arn't buying the "bargain of the year" and it has nothing to do with the Global Financial Crisis. The people affected by the GFC arn't really the people that can afford to put nearly $200k towards a car anyway. During the GFC sales of Exotics went up by 300% and these sales are still up, whereas sales of average and economy and prestige cars went down and have only been artificially been pushed up last month by most of the big rental car companies updateing their fleets last month.

Also ive seen 4 R35's in sydney over the last year go to reposession auctions, so the sales of R35's are artificially higher than they should be because people who can't afford to buy them can somehow find finance to buy them... go figure???

New Car ---) used car

Practially all high dollar cars lose money over the 1st few years, unless they are really really special, and 250k is still alot different to 190k. Forgot to mention, a GTR is faster than almost all those cars. Its still a bargin.

Your not wrong about the finances though, a few too many people have over extended themselves. Repayments are $750/week give or take

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
