LOL. The C7 starts at 51k. The GTR starts at 99k.
Lol....i should have said it more clear. A Brand new C7 is a used GTR. I was so much looking toward a C7 on the time they discount it.

When thinking about a used GT-R you really can't go back before 2012, when they started to cover the launch control under warranty. Beyond that, buying a used GT-R is something I'd only do if it was a Nissan certified used car and came with some purchasable warranty.

I'm sure lot's of people will be buying used GT-R's in the future when they are near a 60K price tag, but I will be super critical if I'm ever in that bunch.

We are talking straight off the showroom floor. And we are ignoring the fact that a GT-R costs about 1/10th the price of a new Veyron Grandsport.
It is very much Impressive if Veyron can cut back 0.2 seconds from stock GTR 0-60 MPH. But this is the Newest Veyron, and they will be more likely not improve in the next 3 years.

While the new Nissan 2015 GTR Nismo will be for sure eat that 0.2 seconds and some more.

Why the hell am I dreaming for the Nismo LOL...I m sure don't want to wait around until 2022 to own one......so SUCK to be POOR

1/ Female : If you are hot enough with a beautiful personality, I am sure you can dream of your Fiance having Millions dollar house, let alone a simple GTR

2/ Male : If you are hot enough, and lucky enough, you may be able to get a Fiance with a GTR

So they are covering issues stemming from aggressive launches, drama-free, of cars produced 2012+?

I thought these cars dropped to low-60's for a while, then bounced back when they began significantly increasing the sticker price year after year.

They were $72k when they first came out, right?

I'm just over 37K. I'm closing on a house that is a 5 min bike ride to work though, so my 110 mile/day commute is gonna be over. :P

I figure I'll be at average mileage in about 2 years. lol
