Beavis Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 An amazing car but the figures for purchase and running are just insane. +1 £14k for exhaust £16k for brake pads £35k for replacement disc's and pads. Quote

Under 60K for a car capable of 3.5 0-60mph can't really be said to be insane. Where into Porsche Turbo, Lambo Gallardo territory here with prices north of £100k before speccing. Running costs of all supercars are crippling but presume the GT-R will be cheaper again to run than the equiavlents mentioned. Mates Gallardo has lost £40k in 18months, needed a new clutch after 5k of town driving - apparently average - and servicing bills are the same as a luxury holiday for a family of 4 ! He thinks the GT-R is the bargain of the century. Quote
Anubis Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 You would have to either be incredibly rich or truely out of your mind to go for the Spec-V. There's nothing stopping you from buying the standard GTR and modding the hell out of it, change paint, etc - and it would still cost less than the RRP. The GTR is the bargain car of the decade, whereas the Spec-V version is in crazy league prices (if someone asked me for £16k for a new exhaust for a car even if I had £1M I would tell them to go do one). That sort of price I would expect a Zonda or Enzo - not a GTR spec-V. Sorry Nissan - you do some amazing stuff at times, but you occassionally have these random prices increases for a different silver badge on the back. Quote
