They are only worth what someone will pay no matter how much you still owe them. As Benny says the swap price and the advertised price are never the equal.

There will always be people who bought one new and are not prepared to take a bath so hang on (and can afford to hang on). And there will be people who, for one reason or another, will take a haircut because they want out.

The market never lies!

So you're trading in at just over 100K. What are you trading in on? How much are you spending with the dealer? How much money will the dealer be making on the new car he sells you? Ask him how much he'll give you for the car wholesale! Get my drift?

9,000 klms, 100k. Can't really ask for much better if it's immaculate.

They're starting to come out of the wood work now! Maybe 90K is not that far away after all!

$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.

Im shopping for a new car at present, have been searching for a clean gayside blue R34 GTR for quite a while with no luck.

That depreciation is accurate and fantastic (for buyers). To me - it makes the R35 even more appealing.

how bout that one??

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!

Yeah that’s fair enough, thanks for all the feedback and advice guys. I have pushed out the budget to 100K and see what I can find.

Really want a black GTR, but it’s becoming much harder then I thought.

Hey mate, a nice grey one was listed @ $99,000 last night on car sales.

Hope it helps!

It may be a ballpark figure...

a) now if it comes up at a Pickles Prestige Car Auction

b) now as a 'repo'

c) soon if the Euro collapses > negative spin-off everywhere else

Methinks an ADM will maintain its value better over time than a JDM too.

From memory, ADM R35 was released around April 2009.

So im curious to see if a swarm of them enter the market around April this year when the 3 year leases end.

Obviously this would mean more to choose from and in turn - even more competitive / lower prices.

Definitely was April 2009 - I remember it well. :)

But there was also a very small influx of cars from the initial delivery - so really don't expect to see a whole lot until around June / July if you think the 3 year thing will be the key factor.

In the mean time, while you are all waiting for them to come down..............

You are missing out on DRIVING it.

Anything under $110,000 for an R35 is the bargain of the century!

And, while I have loved the R34s, they are not even on the same planet as the R35s.

Can't believe people that own these GTR's. I have spoken to three people selling black ones and they are all F#@ked in the head.

All I want is a BLACK GTR, I'm offering good money not low balling anyone and still. OVER IT !!!!!!!!!!!

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
