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 !!!!!!!!!!!

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
