Been lurking on this forum for a while and I have also been monitoring the prices of 2009 GT-R's. I was wondering when you think the private prices will drop to around the 70-75K mark, recently a car was auctioned by Grays online with a final sales price of $73,500 the car had ~60,000km. There have been a few examples of 85K on carsales however these don't last long or they are JDM 2008 GT-R's.

I know a GT-R is an amazing car and great value for money, I just find it interesting that their depreciation has plateaued or at least the price at which they are advertised. With some of your expertise do you think these cars are likely to fall around the 70K mark around February/March next year? Would the 2015 Model effect the price this much and also with anticipation of the new GT-R result in a similar change.

I cant see them falling that far for a long time yet. Remember that these were a $170k car.

If you have the cash or the means, do it now. Who knows where you will be in 1 year from now.

2015 model will make absolutely no difference at all. R35 may.

You didn't mention the auction car sold for $73,500 commands another 7% which then takes it close to 80k. Then add all the other bits like rego, possible new tyres, servicing, etc and the cheap selling price now seems a lot more.

The 7% is a fixed fee so that should probably be included in the calculation, but servicing tyres and rego could be an addition to every car bought second hand, however there is always an added risk to buying cars from auctions and arguably you can do a better deal privately with cash in hand.

It's certainly a great car for the price, but its holding value better than an M3 or a C63 or nearly every other car made in that year at that price point. I usually take redbook with a grain of salt however their prices are

Private Price Guide $80,500 - $88,100 Trade In Price Guide $71,800 - $79,400

and for the premium

* Private Price Guide $82,700 - $90,400 * Trade In Price Guide $73,800 - $81,500 * Average Km 50,000 - 90,000

If R35 prices dropped to 70k, good R34 GTR would need to be selling for under 40k. used car market on performance cars is based on bang for your buck as well. Will be a few years till it gets to that price in my opinion.

I guess like with anything to anything the value of the car is what a person is willing to pay for it! I doubt many 15 year old cars can command what the BNR34's do these days, but there is always that bang for buck element with these cars

It states this on their site.

Buyers Premium

A buyers premium of 7% applies to all lots purchased in this auction.

For example: Successful Bid Price is $100.00 + 7% Buyers Premium = $107.00 Invoice Total

Yeh but even with the 7% premium we are still looking at 78,645, which is quite a difference from the Private/Dealer prices

Auction cars can tend to get a fair bit cheaper.

The trade off being you can't drive the car- that's very risky for an R35.

I imagine prices will hold firm for quite some time, these cars are in demand and production is low.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
