I haven't been living under a rock but just never realised how affordable compared with other 4-5 year old Supercars the GT-R has become.
Would 77k miles be the same as 77k on a similar car like a Ferrari, Lambo etc
Surely Nissan are more reliable right?

My old man bought a 09 plate a few years back for £37k, doesn't look they've shifted much since then. I'm assuming it's down to the fact that the price keeps going up for new ones each year, so the entry price to the market is quite resilient at 30k+. Once it consistently breaks sub 30k, they will start dropping a good chunk but I can't see them reaching sub 20k for a long time yet. Still a huge amount of performance for the cash. BMW M6's though, £18k ,V10, Meisterschaft exhaust....
Phenomenally strong residuals, I guess due to the rarity and Nissan's reputation for reliability. kambites said:
Does anyone know if/when we're due an R36 GT-R?

It'll be interesting to see what that does to R35 prices. I guess given that the R36 is probably going to start at well over £100k, not much in the short term.
They would be very foolish to pitch it at over a hundred grand. The popularity of the old car was the performance price ratio. mikearwas said:

I saw that one, seems quite an honest ad. I cant see them going much lower in the short term unless a bit ratty or higher mileage.
Already a performance bargain when new, I cant imagine you could get anything faster for thirty grand that should hold together before someone posts a picture of an 800 bhp Evo or some Caterfield with several bike engines in.
Apart frotm eh gearbox problems early on, not heard of any reliability issues.

The R36 is supposed to have ~800bhp - asking £100k or more for that is quite likely given the opposition.
Not sure it would be too successful around the £100k mark, you can buy an awful lot of exotic metal for that sort of money. As has been said already I think the appeal was about 30% the GTR brand, and 70% the fact that it was originally half the price of its peers and was comprehensively beasting them in all areas bar "brand w
e value".Durzel said:

Can you? What does 100k buy you these days? I suppose something like an R8 is about the best you'll do, but that's due for replacement soon which will presumably involve a big step up in price and it's nowhere near as fast as even the current GTR. kambites said:
