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 !!!!!!!!!!!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
