Skyline R34 GT-R Vs Nissan R35 GT-R
Discussion
Hello all, I am confused and need some info/advice/recommendations please.
I used to have an R33 Skyline GTS and have always loved the Skylines since I first saw them in Fast & the Furious way back when. My dream car was always an R34 GT-R in Bayside Blue like the one Paul Walker had. I hadn't looked at the price of Skylines for ages just due to having other cars and not being in a position to even think about a car that expensive.
Recently a friend of mine told me an early model R35 GT-R can be had for about £35k, I didnt believe him but checked it out and blimey, many 2009 models for around £35k. I then excitedly looked up R34 GT-R prices to see what they had dropped to...
£29k for a higher mileage undesirable colour, £35-44k for a lower mileage Blue. How is this possible? Can someone explain? An R33 GT-R is about 10k...
My dilemma is this, I might soon be in a position to buy said car, but how can I possibly justify spending £38k odd on a 1998 GT-R when I'll know I can get a 2009 GT-R that is technically on paper miles better all round?

All of the replies have described in some way my dilemma. Do I go for the car I loved as a childling/young adult or go for the car that is technically better on paper and a lot newer for the same money?
It's kind of like, why on earth would anyone spend 70k on a mint E-Type Jag, when they could clearly get a new F-Type that is the same money but technically better in every regard. Do I go with the head or the heart?! It's a hell of a lot of money to me, I'm not rich by any stretch.
