Cost of Owning a GT-R

[Prange]

Interesting. Not as much as I thought it would be.

The cost of embarrassment is about 387 million dollars a year though, for driving something so damn ugly!

 

[EricG]

LOL, yeah I do not think they are very good looking cars either. Pretty amazing performance but only reasonable if you compare them to a Ferrari or something, this article is a little dreamy IMO...our Hellcats are so much cheaper to own. and buy too for that matter!

 

[MikeD1]

Seems reasonable except for the $2700 on trans fluid !?

 

[Whatknot]

Most family sedans look much better IMO, that alone makes them a HUGE HELL NO!

A Camry is a better looking car than the gtr is.

Nissan could spend a few bucks, and make it look at least okay. Just style it after the old school Honda Prelude even, those were actually good looking cars, even back in the 90s.

It's a Nissan just don't buy parts or get oil changed for $250 at the Dealership. Literally the same as working on any other car in their line up. They add on luxury service tax 100% which is why I did all my own maintenance. Last R35 GTR was very reliable with no major problems during the 4 years of ownership. Wish I kept it now since they are going for 60k+ on older models. Market was soft when I sold.

Might not have been the fastest R35 in town but damn was it sexy, broke necks everywhere I went with endless compliments. Very fun ownership experience/intro to high end performance cars at 18 years old

At least the cat is matching the trend - 10k+ on KBB from what was payed OTD in 2019.

And the color doesn't seem to matter, still revoltingly ugly despite the paint applied.

Like they were rammed into a brick wall, and then driven over by a skidder after the crash.

Glad you liked yours ........

Those complaining about the looks need to read an article on why it looks like it does. Pretty bad ass cars imo.

I always liked the cars.
But I have car ADD and I don't have the pockets to keep up with it.

Sadly, this is probably a car I will never own unless I come into a shit load of money.
I have driven a slightly modded one that ran high 10s locally and that car a shit load of fun on the street.
They handle pretty well for as big as they are and seem to dead hook anywhere.

liked that article. The cost for tires. lol, no shit. My wife is pretty cool with my sports cars but she does get a little annoyed at the rate at which they chew through rubber.

I can't decide which is uglier, the front end anyway, them or the late model Lexus, Fugley!

Well I guess looks are subjective. Looks gorgeous to me. As soon as I win the lotto and can afford a used car lot like CC I'm getting one.

I’ve worked on and driven several. They are impressive. The OEM transmission fluid is very expensive, like $75/qt.

 

[Stormtrooper1320]

I think some of them look petty good......obviously in a clean white color

I can respect them for what they are.

And I've always had a soft spot for the 350/380 Z cars...

and no.....it's not the same soft spot as the one on my head

I watched one of these hit the wall at 153 MPH at Streetcar Takeover in Atlanta recently. The owner said he would just buy another one and use that one for parts. It must be nice to have pockets that deep.
