Hi Guys

I’m looking to buy a Black 2009 GTR, looking at spending around the $90,000 mark might have a little more.

Very serious and ready to buy like TODAY /NOW so if you guys know or could recommend somewhere I can go.

Any advice/guidance please reply or send me a PM. :-)

90k is a reasonable price for an 09 but whether sellers are willing to accept it, is another matter. There are a number of 09's that have been sitting on carsales.com priced well over that and that's what they've been doing, just sitting! As warranty expiry is just around the corner for these cars, they'd be well advised to accept any reasonable offer given otherwise they may find themselves taking an even bigger hit later in the year.

Good luck with that... Your probably expect to pay in excess of $100k - $115 for anything half decent

What do you mean anything decent? I don’t think people that have purchased these cars brand new would trash them, unless you track it.

I think 90-95K is more than reasonable for a standard GTR considering the car will be out of warranty soon. (08, 09)

Depends what your after. A track pig or garage queen. If you can find a black one for $90k today I'll buy another one. If an 09 is priced at $90k what's a 10 worth? &100k? Your dreaming if you think this will happen. I was recently in the same boat. I spent 2 years waiting for the price to drop where I think they were worth. And still didn't find anything for my valuation. Realistically $100k + right now today for an unmarked black 09 gtr if you can find one is a great buy. If your happy to go for one with higher km, maybe low $100k. There's one in vic now on Carsales. I found I might not have been prepared to pay what vendors were asking but someone else was and all the good ones got snapped up. End of the day for a $100k car you'd want it to be immaculate with low km. good luck with your endeavours, you may have to wait awhile to get what your looking for

I know of a 2011 for sale with 4.5k on the clock where the dealer is asking $149k for it. It's essentially by all accounts brand new, has all the latest updates and is in a desirable colour.

A 2009 is a 3 yr old car now, realistically I'd think one is worth $100k tops. A 2010/11 with all the updates is more desirable, thus commands a premium. But that's just my 2c.

As I said. If you can find one right now for $90k in black you've got it for a steal. My 2c is it's wishful thinking good luck coz you'll need it. You won't even find a 2010 for $120k. The difference between an 09 and 10 is negligible, definately not $30k difference in price. $15-20k tops

+ 1

I have seen 3 09's purchased for sub 105k.

two in average condition but nothing a good detail wouldnt sort out (though milage on one was geting a little high at 45k when 2 years old) and one in great condition. it all depends on the circumstances of the vendor

I agree 90k is probably pushing it for a clean low KLM's 09 at the moment. From April though these cars will start running out of warranty. Now I know warranty is not important to some buyers but it is to others and as Nissan Australia offer no option to purchase extended warranty for the GTR the value of these cars will start to move towards the 90K mark. The 11's look like they're dropping fast and as the 12's have just arrived I'd look at spending a bit more and try and nail down a bargain!

$90k is probably on the low side but good luck, it's a very small market. Either way, you're going to drop $1.5k a month on depreciation yourself for a while, too. Which will make the $10k you save (vs the current price) look like play money.

I'll think you'll find inevitably $90k will be common, but your probablly 12 months premature. If you want to look at historical depreciation look at the M3. Similar priced new and similar depreciation. 07 and 08 beamers are selling in the $80-$95k range. GTR's are, I consider far more exclusive and desirable, so I'll think you'll find they'll hover in this bracket for a few years and the $1-2k depreciation will stop whilst the later models drop to make way for the newest realises. So the 10's and 11 GTR's depreciation will advance considerably to a point where they're all in the $70-$100k range in 3 odd years time. I think the Gtr will bottom at around $70k for a few years. I reakon in 10 years time they'll still be commanding $50k. After all they're considered a supercar, and they do have the x factor. Every time I drive mine I notice people taking photos on their smart phones and always every time get a yelp or thumbs up... I don't think that happens in an M3 too often

My dealer is trading my 09 in for just over the 100 mark, I assume they will turn it around to the next buyer for about 110 ish.

My advice:

1. You may have to up your budget a little, maybe by as much as 20 - 25%

2. Dont worry about the number, it only happens once, after that it is all about the car, and what a car it is!

You will be delighted, go on, do it!

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
