Is this 2012 Nissan GTR the ULTIMATE used supercar BARGAIN?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The R35 Nissan GTR is may be many things, but one thing it is not is SLOW. For 2012 there were some big changes that were made. Under the hood is a 3.8L twin-turbo V6 pumping out 530HP & mated to a 6-speed DCT gearbox. On the exterior there are some updates for aerodynamic efficiency. The interior also has updates to improve usability and drivability. Now that time has passed and there are plenty of R35 GTRs that are on the used car market. Is this 2012 Nissan GTR the supercar bargain of the century?

Common knowledge down here in OZ having witnessed it destroying the opposition in the late 80s and early 90s! However, as far as trivia is concerned, it's also interesting to note that during the creation of this current R35 shape, the then head of Nissan Mr. Carlos Ghosn (currently an internationally wanted fugitive!!) asked that the only feature of the GTR that was not negotiable were the signature round rear tail lights. The engineers and designers were pretty much free to do as they pleased with the remainder of the vehicle.

There's a 2009 GTR in my city ( Canadian price ) of 75,000$ with only 46000 kms on it. I find that to be decent

Glad Joe loved it. I had a GTR from 2009 to 2014. When you get on it there would be 2 reactions from passengers: 1- stunned silence or 2 - laughter! 😂

New to checking out car videos. Gotta say, around 20:30, I'd be hard pressed to find someone having more fun than this guy in the GTR. Great stuff. Really enjoyed this video, and now I want to sell my Q50 and pick up Godzilla, hah.
To a certain extent, yes. There are no supercars like the Nissan GT-R and Chevy Corvette that offer anywhere close the performance for the money. However I would also acknowledge that buying any used car with over 400hp, be it a “super car”, europeon expensive sedan, or American pony muscle car is asking for more trouble than its worth. Generally, the type of people that buy those types cars and sell them later on at huge losses with poor resale value are sadly not very sharp, have little sense for money, and abuse their cars as appliances while neglecting regular maintenance. A coworker bought a used Ford Raptor and Porsche Cayman S. Boy were they both endless money pits 😂. Couldn’t rely on them to make it to the gas station in one piece.
