Would appreciate some opinion since I'm not really sure what to do.
The warranty of my GTR runs out next month. I've also found out today that the front OEM rubbers need replacing (well technically it's still very road legal but some of the insides are worn to 1.6mm). OEM tyres are very rare and to source from dealership would cost me circa £1100 fitted...
I've also recently added a Y Pipe to the car and also Stage 1 Litchfield tune and 2012 gearbox software upgrade to the car. In my opinion those are the best mods you can have for the the MY09 GTR without spending mega bucks.
Anyway, I am wondering if I should spend more money getting tyres done (either get 2 new fronts or change all 4 to non runflats...) or should I p/x the car in for another?
I am tempted to try out something new but truth to be told within my budget I am not sure what to go for... I would appreciate some suggestions. Been looking around the classifieds and quite taken by the F10 BMW but not too sure about that. Other choices were Porshes (GenII Carrera 4S, 2012 Boxster S...) and I'm also not too sure...
What would you do? Spend circa £2k more + warranty or prep the car for p/x?

Unfortunately not as durable !cheddar said:
P/X offer will take into account 'necessary spend' so, give or take, same outcome either way.
Q:
What do GTR owners trade up to?
At the moment looking into E92 M3s not as trading up but would prefer something different and cheaper to run...Q:
What do GTR owners trade up to?
However, not too sure about that now.

Yes, looking into these. Around £1200 for all four so not too bad but will need to get proper kit just in case of puncture. Also need to find a TPMS friendly puncture kit.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
