2012 GTR or 2012 M3???

scheherazade · 05-11-2011, 04:15 PM

My GTR hasn't cost me much at all.

I drive it every day, and it's been nothing more than the periodic oil change.

Brakes I'll go aftermarket. Cheaper and upgraded.

The fluid flush is so infrequent that I really don't care.

GTR hands down. Buy a used M3 later.

Brandon26pdx · 05-11-2011, 07:37 PM

Yeah I don't think the real-real costs to keep a GT-R on the road are as bad as they've sometimes been ginned up to be. It's definitely bigger dollars than an M3, but if you can afford a $90k+ car in the first place, c'mon.

I agree there's probably lots of dealers raping people in the ass though because they figure they can. Some of the sleaziest dealers I've ever encountered were Nissan dealerships.

Either your friend tracks the piss out of the car or he replaces things too frequently. But I'm failing to see the "gtr has expensive maintenance" in any of that.

boombastic · 05-11-2011, 11:56 PM

My 2010 GTR has roughly 8000 miles. So far 0 cost of maintenance and miss 0 appointment as a DD. But did change the pedal shifter once.

crackberry · 05-12-2011, 10:39 AM

The headlights on the gtr looks like they were trying to copy aston.

Not Bad

If I will pay almost 91k for a car I'd expect it to run fine for at least the first 50k miles, with the regual maintenance (like oil change and etc...)

Htown09 · 05-12-2011, 01:12 PM

no brainer get the GTR until the M3 comes out with more POWAH! 2013

or get a ZR1

Robert · 05-12-2011, 01:45 PM

The most important point to me is can you stand getting spanked by a GTR when it toys with you on the road. If not GTR.

She is not afraid of all that horsepower? hhehe

Yea the GTR is more like a race car. Girls hate bumpy rides. haha

boombastic · 05-12-2011, 02:06 PM

X5M is very gental as a DD, as long as you leave the M button alone. Driving the GTR around NYC is painful, very painful. I hope 2012 does a better job.
