true cost to own on nissan gtr black edition : 118k
true cost to own on porsche 911 s :99k

With the GT-R you own both.

GET IT?

HAHAHAHA okay, im done porsche trolling the GTR thread.:stirthepot:

okay done.

HAHAHAHA the 'ring times speak louder than words.

True cost to own a 2012 911 2S is gonna be way more than 99k!

Also you can't tune a 911 and end up with a billion hp. You can with a GT-R.

You know I always wonder if when the R34s become legal how big they will be. we will prolly be on the R39 hybrid by then.

And the GTR backseats are better

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa that's exactly what I'm talking about.
Sales guy: Any way we can ... juice... the deal for your Mr. V?
V: Now that we are talking about deal sweetener! I would take that one, and that one and that one, well ALL OF THEM :icon17:
Buzz kill but that's ok only temporary :p

Ive constantly been called Buzz Killington....and now that I have your attention, let me tell you this delightful story about a bridge.

No kidding. I bought my GTR the day after I testdrove one. Don't ever test drive one if you are not ready to buy! LOL

na its not that much... i paid 91K and havent spent a dime on it yet in almost 6 months

if you pay msrp its 96980.... talking about servicing it aswell oil changes are every 9K miles ( i will change mine every 4K and its like $100)

diff and tranny are every 36K miles


2013 is getting a nice power bump again and a price increase ..again


09s are going to continue to drop... you can already find under 25K miles well maintained ones 57-59K

i sold my 09 this past winter for 60K with 15K miles on it

That's not true. It's a rumor. What you're seeing is his hair effected by swamp gas.

I still have a year until I can even start to think about getting one. :(

I just wish the GTR came in traditional stick. Love the car otherwise.

Lemers, that is a FUNNY sig. FYI, my car is coming next week. Will post a thread on here when I do.

ibtl

Posting my ibtl here cuz I won't make it into that thread

:icon17::tup:

I had the same feeling when I tested one in 2010. Good luck!

+1

Even if I could justify the cost of the car, the maintenance costs whould scare the bejebus outa me! :eek:

Just thought I should throw it out there!

lol.... so explain to me why? Lemers has a thread on here about a 5.0/shelby, so now we're not supposed to?

Lemers still has his Z so he's not on the auto-ban list yet :icon17:

I know what you mean, this is a battle between practicality and gluttonous desire! Guess which one is winning at the moment? I didn't realize how hard they are to find, no 2012 models to be found. Which begs the question of used vs. new.

MC - what were some of the noticeable differences between the '09 and '12?

I thought the tranny in the automatic mode in the '09 was a bit choppy, kind of like the SMG in the M5. In manual mode, the shifts were lighting fast.

Thanks,

V

most GTR guys never ever use auto mode as the way its designed its always searching for the highest gear you can be going 35 mph and it will shift all the way to 6th... unless you are performance driving

also the transmission responds to how you drive... if you are just running errands around town some of the shifts can be quite sluggish... but once you start accelerating and braking in a spirited manner it will start shifting fast and rev matching and all that....

the only time i ever use auto mode is at the drag strip to lay down consistent times because as long as its in R mode and you have the gas floored it does lighting fast 6800 rpm shifts that you really cant beat manaully...... but thats about the extent of it... it sucks for autoX and is so so at the track imo


as far as has that aspect changed for 12 vs the 09.... not really the only noticeable difference is how it responds to a 2-1 shift at parking speeds... before it wouldnt go into 1st until you were almost at a dead stop then jerk down to 1st... now it automatically shifts to first while you are still creeping forward...

but over all the 12 is so just comprehensively better in all aspects than my 09....
the 13 is adding about 30 hp and better suspension

Thank you for making me spend an additional $35,000-50,000.

And indirectly, forcing me to do it 6-9 months later :(

:icon17:

automobile anonymous strikes again :rofl2:

Excellent, just what I needed to hear. Thank you.

It makes sense to hold out for a newer model, unfortunately anything from '10 -'12 has a steep price due to limited availability. Pricing may go down on those models when the '13 comes out, if not, decisions, decisions.

My Big Mistake - Part 11. I went to a Nissan dealership after the MAZOC meet up today to see the 2012 GT-R Premium listed on their website, unfortunately when I got there it was a Black Edition, not a fan of the BE wheels. I went back to the previous dealership and test drove the 2009 GT-R, only this time in the R mode and the beast was free to roam at full power.

This is definitely the vehicle for me, I will be putting up the my baby of 6 months for sale sometime this week. Still undecided on what model year, I am on the list for the 2013, if I get a bead on a low mileage '10 - '12, I may jump on it, looking for Gun Metal Grey or Black.

'Tis the Season!

Go for it!!!

Congrats man! Can't wait to see it once you do get it :tup:

Awwww yea!!

I knew it man. After how you were talking about it at the meet and the phone calls you were making I knew it was game over. Can't wait to see the GTR at one of our meets!

:iagree:

13's go onsale march or april ish.... full specs available monday.. i will post it up

There was an awesome black GT-R with black wheels at the dealership I bought my Z at (Modern Nissan of Lake Norman). I asked if I got a free test drive in it for purchasing the Z. The guy laughed at me and said I'd have to put a $10,000 deposit down before taking it out. That normal?

was it just like this?

no thats not the normal practice but i see the reasoning... was he serious about the 10K deposit? most dealers dont do test drives on brand new GTRs at all... the deposit thing is sort of stupid... they should just say we dont offer test drives... i know they are trying to weed out the non serious buyers but putting a financial # on it is just off putting to me and makes me think they are playing games or calling someones bluff... i paid cash for my car but i wouldnt put down a dime to test drive a car just to prove something... either i can or i cant.. if i cant i respect that


besides....if i was a dealer i wouldnt do test drives on brand new new GTRs at all.... most come with about exactly 22-26 miles on them i wouldnt want to buy one with 50+ miles on it or whatever.. not just because i think they beat on it..its just if im paying 95-100K for a car i want to be the first one to drive it.. i want the plastic on the seats floor mats still in the trunk and all that

i mean before my car came i test drove one of the 2012's i helped a out of state member get...but it technically wasnt a test drive i just drove the car with the tech to gas it up after the PDI before they put it on a car hauler lol

a used one like the OP is talking about? sure

what was the price on it by the way?

just curious as i went up to modern of winston-salem NC where i live. they had the same 2012 black edition ( but blue) i bought for under invoice marked up 8K over MSRP ( something like 105K) they told one of my forum members they turned down 5K over for it........not sure if its still there... i had 2 guys wanting to but it for MSRP but they wouldnt go for it
