New R35 Owner Sunshine Coast

[AussieMark]

Hi Guys,

I bought a MY12 on Friday in Sydney and drove it home overnight to Qld. Gun Metal Grey colour with 3400km in showroom condition. I have already bought a Willall midpipe and will have that installed when I get my safety inspection done this week for Qld registration.

I had been searching for a black one for months but settled for this grey one.....great news is I reckon it's the best colour of all now I'm very impressed with the overall performance so far but looking to up the ante a bit of course!!! All I can say is that I LOVE that launch control lol !!!!

I owned a highly modded R33 a few years back but overall it was a bit of a horror story for me with carjackings and blown engines etc, so now looking for a fresh and positive new start to GTR ownership

I have a heap of newbie questions so hope you guys can be patient with me while I get a grasp on this new beast that I own!!!!

Mark.

I think yours will be the third R35 on the coast.

Hopefully ownership will be a satisfying experience.

Mark, looks fantastic.. I like the Gun Metal Grey, that and the Blue are my two favourite colours for the GTR.. Would have been fun having that Drive Back to stretch its legs.. I have family in Maleny who i visit regularly , might see you on the road around Sunshine Coast..

Cheers.. Mike..

Theres a few of us in Brissy too, well worth organising a meet and a drive thru the back roads some time when ever you boys are keen

That was that the one on carsales in sydney. How much did you end up paying for it?

I've only ever seen 1 R35 on the Sunshine Coast cruising down Hastings St but have 4 separate sightings out Maleny way. I travel out west through Maleny every Thursday and have seen 3 down in Landsborough and there was one in the main St in Maleny a few weeks back. It must be all the nice roads out that way!! I'm always up for a cruise too......

I paid 161k and just looked tonight and there's another listed in Vic.....same colour,same year, EXACTLY the same kms but is listed at 159.5k. Serves me right for getting back on Carsales after I already bought one lol.

I was actually negotiating with Suttons @ Chullora on the black my12 that's listed. It was listed at $165,900 and we were negotiating from there. I thought for sure I had it as they even took my cc for a deposit. Next thing I get a call and they tell me they are putting the price up!!! I checked that night and the ad had been updated....kms jumped from 3000 to 6000 and the price jumped all the way up to 172,900. No idea wtf is the go with that???? Anyway the very next day I was booking flights to Sydney to buy my grey one and now very happy that it worked out that way

Nah you got a good deal and you got the best colour! Suttons will never get that kind of money for that car with those klm's on it. I've dealt with them before. Morons! Congrats on your purchase.
