westham10 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 hey guys, im currently on my probationary licence which means its illegal for me to drive one but hopefully when i get my full licence i can buy one ive done some research as to what different types of gtr's are out there and theres quiet a few, and i was just wondering if anyone knows whether the gtr r34 will appreciate in value? ive noticed that the z-tune nismo model is the best one but they are very expensive since theres only 20 made and i wouldnt have the money for one, probably impossible to even look at one in real like The M-spec Nur model seems right, not too expensive and the clock goes up to 320 and its rare which is what im after however because there are only 250 made is this model likely to appreciate? the orginal gtr r34 are great cars but i dont want to settle for one because everyone will want/have one by then but if the origianl gtr do appreciate then i wouldnt mind getting one, considering they are relatively rare and still a great car to have cheers for any feedback!

GODZ1LLA Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Nah its like most things they will go down in value... (except of course for some special editions which will go down slower) Put your money in the bank if your thinking of investment...

maclarenf1 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 well... not many R34 GTR were made compared to most Jap Performance cars and the fact that there are still sort after in Jap land but R34 GTR is not a sort after european car or something..so i doubt values will go up anytime soon....if ever but compared to most Jap performance cars R34 GTR's have kept there value i mean your still looking at a 99 model in a good colour in the 45K-50K mark, that is not bad when you keep in mind that a Brand New WRX can be had for 46K driveway or a near brand new Evo can be had for same money.... PS - got mine after 4 skylines and lot of saving by the way...wish i could buy one when i was in my 20's... but good for you Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/365531-skyline-gtr-r34/#findComment-5832102 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinistaGTR Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I dont know any p-plater that can look at a M-Spec Nur and say...it doesnt seem too expensive. IF: Money your mummy and daddy have given you money over your life, thats now yours, its still mummy and daddy funded. Money that they gave you to buy your first car...you guessed it...as above If your sticking heroin balloons in your bum to make that much money....they gonna pop one day If your sticking man bits in your bum to make coin as a prostitute...Freddy Mercury aint about anymore...the aids got him.

wedge_r34gtr Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Lol I'm in my early 20's (just) and I said the same thing your saying 5 years ago whilst on my p's. I was wrong. I'm glad I waited til was in a good finical situtatiom before I bought mine. I think you underestimate just how much gtr's cost, to buy, maintain and run. They also def wont appreciate any time soon. 20 years maybe....but not now.

GTRRKT Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Im 20 and i just bought a 34GTR nur. And no one else helped buy it. Well i'll be picking it up next week. I studied hard and actually got a well paid job before finishing my degree so it is possible.

mad082 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 not having a go at the young guys in here, but i have a question. how much of your own expenses do you pay? do you pay for groceries? do you pay rent? do you pay for electricity, internet, etc? or do you simply pay a small amount a week in board which covers all that? if yes for this last question, then in a large way your parents are helping you pay for your car. this goes for the young kids that have saved up house deposits too. it's easy to say you paid for your own car/house when your parents pay for everything else leaving you lots of spare cash to save. on topic though, it's going to take quite a few years for them to appreciate in value, and in that time, if you take into account the rego and insurance you would pay on it over that time, you would probably still end up losing money on it.

wedge_r34gtr Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) not having a go at the young guys in here, but i have a question. how much of your own expenses do you pay? ... All. moved out of home when i was 17 and have payed my way since then. After re-reading my post, its does sound a bit bragish...which wasn't what i was trying to convey...I was simply trying offer advice to not to rush into a purchase, make sure you can really afford it before you make the decision. I agree with mad082: If you still live with your parents or rely on your parents for any sort of monetary support (other than the occasional free family meal ), you should not be forking out circa $50k for a car.
