$105k...read somewhere that it will be six figures...

[t5iv]

It will be in the early $100k mark for the convertible. Coupe probably late $90k.

[Seano350GT]

f**k knows how they're meant to sell them at that price.

[interfooler]

that price suddenly makes imported 370gt such a bargain

Heard somewhere that the G37 will only come in around about Dec 12 or Jan 13. Initial launch will be for the FX SUV.

Once the G37 comes in, based on my understanding, we can no longer import cars "manufactured" in Japan after that date (i.e Dec 12). Still gives us a good 3 years worth of imported supply once the 2012 Japanese models become due for their shaken in 2015 and come on the auction market.

I'm expecting the value of our cars to increase by anywhere from 20-50%. This is why I'm rebadging mine as an Infiniti.

Value won't increase if your car has 200K on the clock, the older it gets the more money you will lose. Unless it's something like a 65 Mustang..

in 50 years time it'll be an 04 Skyline

I'm comparing apples with apples mate. Cars do depreciate however when these vehicles come over here and the base value is raise significantly and if the scarcity still exists, then we have the opportunity to make some mooolah! I've taken a look at the forecasts and feasibility of this, should work well...

I do agree with you though, you would think these cars will appreciate slightly since we won't be able to get them anymore.

haha yeeww. You had much luck selling your V sheldon?

[sonicii]

Doubt the existing models will appreciate in value much.. if you can still import a 2012 370gt coupe for $40k-$50k in a year or so time, people aren't going to pay $60k-$70k for one locally when they can import their own much cheaper.. with the exception of a few people with more money than brains..

[t5iv]

I was talking more about the V35s. Avg value C$20k (to keep it in round numbers). Once the 370GTs are released here for an absolute mint, people would be more accepting to pay towards $25k-$30k for the V35. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that you will definitely experience a 100-200% boost in value - that's just stupid... However, an extra 20-50% - very likely.

There we go $84k

I don't see 370GT on that list anywhere?

Should be later then I guess

[jbenj]

Love the look of the FX though, tanky as

[Seano350GT]

Ah i see. People are posting it's ugly, i disagree
