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

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
