Anyone see the Nissan GT-R Premium @ Sunridge Nissan? *PICS*

[maxwinedog]

Saw it just this morning when was there with a friend picking some stuff up, very nice RARE car! I havent ever seen one in Calgary before.

[arian_ma]

You haven't seen a GT-R in Calgary before or a premium model??? What is the difference?

[C4S]

It is a nice car .. but I won't call it "rare" ..

Um .. it is rare in red, not the right colour for that car. :(

[Phenix]

That is just a normal GTR. nice car though. the 2012's should be awesome

[Muji]

Man that thing is overpriced and has not stood still, such high kms. Tons of better values to be had on eBay. A couple of months back I saw a GTR with winter tires parked at a Tim's in the NE, seemed very odd and abusive in my mind.

This 2010 has less than 6,000 miles and you can buy it today for 72K US.

It's a Nissan not a Reventon.

Agreed. That GTR is 2 years old and over 40k klms? and still 80k? and it's ugly in red... GL selling that. Wonder how much warranty is left? White or Black... only colors I would get a GTR in.

[chkolny541]

certainly pricey, and 40,000km on a 2009 gtr is effing unreal, must have been the previous owner DD.

[Skyline_Addict]

i browse nagtroc.org every once in a while and 2009 GTRs can be had for mid 60s USD easily and sometimes in the low 60s. and these are cars with around 8k miles on them, not 40k km.

[rage2]

I was thinking of getting a GT-R as a winter car, but they're just not dropping in price at all in Canada, regardless of kms. The used prices are high and it's still selling here, pretty crazy.

Not sure how tough it is to import one from the US.

Is that a white one?

[GenerationX]

Sunridge had 2 2012's but they got sold already, both white too.

Used prices should remain strong as sales have been pretty slow (<1000 last year in the US). Porsche 911 for example outsells the GTR 6 to 1 in the US which just goes to show that raw performance isn't enough against esteemed competition. If they aren't even moving 1000 GTR's a year in the US you would have to imagine that Nissan moves less than 100 GTR's in Canada annually which should keep the resale value strong due to limited availability.

That mileage is really high for what Sunridge is asking but some rich kid will buy it.

That mileage is crazy high for that price. Even half would be too much, but you're right... someone will buy it with emotion and get a shitty deal.

[T78Supra1]

All GTR's Sold in Canada are premium models.

[BigDannyCool]

there's one at brasso nissan for around the same price with about 4000km

[Orbie]

For 2009-2011 all are premium, but for 2012 all will be Black Editions. For some reason Nissan Canada has decided to only sell the top line model in Canada (love the red trim interior though). If you see a Premium 2012 running around in Canada it was imported. I know there are a few in Canada already. Can't blame people who import though, the price difference is insane with the dollar the way it is now.

Another reason why the resale is holding strong here, aside from limited availability is that Nissan raises the price on each consecutive GT-R MY. In 2009 I believe it was $81,900, 2012 MSRP was announced today in Canada at $109,900 (vs. 95,100 in the States). If you live in a province with HST you're looking at close to 130K all in.

[Maxx Mazda]

Are you fisting me? $80K for that thing?!?

40k km on a 2yr old car isnt bad, thats only 20k a year. I see a lot of 07 cars with over 100k km! Now that is a lot in such a short time span.

Havent been following nissan cars as of late but generally how mamy kms can a gtr engine handle in its lifespan? 300,000? Nissan engines are up there with hondas right?

I love these cars, articles like this keep me from considering one:

[streethondas]

Seen this GTR in the NW area before....really old guy used to own it before :bigpimp:

[Sorath]

the owner traded it in on one of the white 2012s that came in for us this year. Nice guy. drove it through winter

[Aleks]

I see him in my neighbourhood quite a bit. Was wondering what happened haha. He has some different wheels on the white one now.

[Sorath]

those wheels are factory aleks

[redline]

Don't worry Inrich will make at least two threads about buying it...

I just got my NSX serviced, coolant, transmission, oil change, timing belt, brake fluid, air filter, and full inspection and it came to $2K. What a bargain! haha

Did they replace the water pump or anything else?

Same went for hoses, spark plugs, fuel filters, brakes as they were all fine and no need to change it. My car only has 24,000kms but things were replaced based on age. The comforting thing, if a Civic were to go in and got the same items replaced, I don't think the pricing would be that far off. :D

[heavyfuel]

The second I can afford something along these lines I'm gonna drop my truck lifestyle.

That is one f******ing beautiful car. One of my favorites for sure.

[black13]

The owner lives down my street. He's got a 2012 silver one now. Sexyyyyyy

But yea price seems rather high for kms.

[npham]

I wonder what they gave this guy upon trade in to be asking that much. 20,000 km isn't a lot for a daily DD, but on a GTR, that's a shitload. Props to the guy driving in the winter though, I'm sure he makes everyone extremely jealous.

Soooo by my math the total #'s of GTR's in North America should be around 4-6000? The "North American GTR Owners Club Forum" has over 110 000 members. :rofl: Bet they've all got a Ferrari too.

I love Edmonds for doing these long-term car articles, tons to read:

A GT-R makes an M3 look to be frugal:

http://blogs.insideline.com/roadtests/2009/11/2009-bmw-m3-sedan-versus-gt-r.html


We used our 2009 BMW M3 sedan as a chase car to shuttle the GT-R to a service appointment this morning. Seeing the two beside one another made me wonder just how they sized up in terms of performance. Check out these numbers. Then look at the total package.

Which would you choose?

M3 Sedan
Price: $67,370
0-60 mph: 4.8 seconds
1/4-mile: 12.9 @ 111.0 mph
Slalom: 71.8 mph
Skidpad: 0.93 g
Service: 4-yr/50,000-mile free scheduled maintenance
Cost to date: $500.00 (@ 12,000 miles)

GT-R
Price: $73,165
0-60 mph: 3.8 seconds
1/4-mile: 11.8 @ 118.6 mph
Slalom: 74.0 mph
Skidpad: 0.93 g
Service: Pay as you go
Cost to date: $8,000.00 (@ 30,000 miles)

Mike Schmidt, Vehicle Testing Manager @ 11,210 miles

[max_boost]

A buddy sold his SLK55 to buy a GTR lol I wonder if he's aware of the maintenance costs.

I think we should just move towards scheduled maintenance and factor it into the pricing like BMW.

4153 units sold to dealers as of Dec 2010.

You realize you don't need to be an owner to register on the Owner's Club forum right? :D

I'd take the M3 because the repair costs would probably be lower, never thought I'd say that about a BMW :rofl:

I'm actually surprised to hear someone has the bronze colored wheels here, I didn't think they were offering those in NA. The Premium has a near black version and a bronze version of the 10 spoke rim. The Black edition has the 6 spoke Spec V rims and they only come in a black finish. So this makes me think if this guy is rolling around in bronze rims it's an imported premium from the states or this guy did replace his stock rims with aftermarkets already.

[Skyline_Addict]

The GT-R would be the perfect sports car if not for the maintenance costs. Almost $2k for a transmission fluid change is ridiculous. I suppose to compete with the exotics it doesn't need to cost as much as one, but it must be maintained like one. :rofl:

It's the only thing that would make me consider another car for the price.

$8000.00 after 30k miles..... I suppose that'd be OK for me as I wouldn't daily drive it. It'd probably take me 10+ years to accummulate 30k miles with how much I drive my fun cars, lol.

Few hundred bucks a year in maintenance costs on average....no worse than your typical BMW. Yeah...I'm trying to justify it, just play along

[heavyD]

Expensive transmission services are the reality if you want heavy duty dual clutch transmissions. Even my EVO X MR was around $700 just to do the TC-SST fluid change. The fluid is a special Castrol Synthetic oil specifically made for the Getrag DCT transmissions and only available from the dealer.

I hope the GTI doesn't cost that much lol

Surprise if less then 100 GTR in Canada ..

So .. half in Calgary? :D

I would assume the same for the Ralliart although the recommended service interval is near the 50,000 kms mark so it's not a common service. I doubt the GTI is as expensive as the Borg Warner DSG transmissions in VW/Audi cars are fairly common and have been around a lot longer. Maybe an owner could chime in on that.

[M.alex]

Why do all these transmissions/transaxles require special fluids that there's only 1 source for. For example, my Riccardo transaxle (Ford GT) costs around $50/bottle (?quart?) .... why can't they standardize and use the same bloody thing?

Twin clutch automatics employing wet clutches require sufficient cooling by the fluid in addition to lubrication. Transmission manufacturers are usually getting special synthetic fluids specifically for their application and low volume specific anything usually incurs more $$$.

[npham]

Ralliarts need the same expensive tranny fluid change. SSP and Diaqueen(Stock/OEM) are the only two makes that is warranty approved afaik.

No you're right Skyline_Addict, I don't know how many long term GT-R owners there are on this thread, but in that Edmund's article it's not $2K for a transmission fluid change. That was around $700, they also did an oil/filter change and differential fluid change. I'm not saying the transmission fluid change isn't expensive, it'll still run you probably $1K with labour. That is the most expensive service though, and you only do those at 40K km intervals (distance not time based). So it's a service much like what others are talking about in this thread for the Evo, a rare one (sounds like the pricing is similar too, funny how you don't hear anyone crying about those cars). So you are correct, it is a few hundred bucks a year regular maintenance for the GT-R.

That's reason enough for me to grab an M3.

Definitely would grab a GTR if money wasn't a problem though.

Just curious. If money was a problem how would you afford the M3?:)

I think the fact this car was driven this winter is enough to devalue it a fair bit. The city of Calgary used lots of chemicals this winter and it has effected cars much, much more than years past with almost eastern Canada type rusting. Not saying this GTR will be a rust bucket but they are asking a lot of money for a winter driven GTR.
