Depreciation of GT-R
 

What are people's thoughts regarding the depreciation of the GT-R? Considering its super car performance but Nissan badge, I'm curious how the numbers would balance out.

I've never owned any of my cars for longer than 3 or 4 years, so I'm trying to get a feel of what to expect. I would imagine due to the limited production and exclusivity, the resale prices will remain somewhat inflated for the first few years; but what of residual value from a strictly finance-department-calculating point of view?

Exotic Car Depreciation:
The topic of exotic car depreciation is one of those ugly truths no one wants to talk about -- at least no one who owns an exotic car...

If the GTR is like the Z06 it will depreciate. The Z06 starts at 72k and have seen some 07-08 with 7k miles going for 63-65k :smilie_th at CARMAX. I hope the GTR depreciates like the Vette :yumyum: .

I would tend to agree with this, but may slightly better than a vette. Certainly nothing like typical exotics. More on par with 911s and vettes. The way you could get hosed is by paying way over msrp

I don't hope the GTR depreciates like the vette, I just hope the guy I buy the GTR from thinks that it depreciates like the vette. :smilie_th

Yea the Z06 are getting hit big time right now. There is a forum dealer on the vette site that is selling brand new 1lz 08 Z06 for 62k. and it still has not sold.

Do any of you guys know how many Z06s they make in a year?

Ouch. :bonk:

Pretty sure it is around 9k units a year, but I could be wrong.

:( and we only get 1500 GTRs :smilieth, for depreciation to really occur we need NISSAN to increase their #s.
