Next time you think about spending 45-50k on a G37, don't forget...

Or maybe he realized that he wanted a better LOOKING car for the money
Or maybe he got a sex change and realized that a GT-R is more of a "guy's car" so he/she bought a pink beetle
I mean, while we're speculating... LOL. it could be ANYTHING

lol @ pink beetle.
Well if you're lucky enough you can find used GT-R's clean title, no wrecks with 28k miles for like 50-55k. Seen it happen couple times and the car sold with in matter of minutes it was on sale for that price. It doesn't happen a lot but it does happen once in a blue moon. You just gotta have some cash ready on hand.

68k on an 09 supercar? No thanks. That car should have less than 20k on it. It should be sold for less than that.
Thats is way to high milage.
But would I trade up for my 45k dollar G37xS for it?
12k, not a daily driver, going to plummit in price if you drive 30k miles and hit 100k....
No.
If I'm paying 57k for a toy (not daily) I will pay up for something pristine

Even though technically it is still an "automatic" it just seems wrong to call it by that designation only.
A dual-clutch transmission, (DCT) (sometimes referred to as a twin-clutch gearbox or double-clutch transmission), is a type of semi-automatic or automated manual automotive transmission. It uses two separate clutches<sup id="cite_ref-AMS_0-0" class="reference">[1]</sup> for odd and even gear sets. It can fundamentally be described as two separate manual transmissions (with their respective clutches) contained within one housing, and working as one unit.<sup id="cite_ref-AEI_1-0" class="reference">[2]</sup><sup id="cite_ref-PorschePDK_Glossary_2-0" class="reference">[3]</sup> They are usually operated in a fully automatic mode, and many also have the ability to allow the driver to manually shift gears,<sup id="cite_ref-AMS_0-1" class="reference">[1]</sup> albeit still carried out by the transmission's electro-hydraulics.

maybe my mentality is a bit childish, but hey its a f*cking GTR! Its definitely one of my top pics since IMO its one of the most practical supercars out there. I'd definitely think hard if the two were close in price. If we are talking about supercar power at around the 50k price point... has anyone thought about the 2013 mustang shelby gt500? 2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Official Photos and Info – News – Car and Driver

But I DO like the sound of this: "While punching out the 5.4-liter aluminum-block V-8 out to 5.8 liters, the GT500’s powertrain crew also updated the heads for better cooling, changed the camshaft profiles, added piston squirters and higher-flow fuel injectors, swapped the old supercharger for a larger and more efficient TVS unit that ups boost from 9 to 15 psi, and fitted a larger intercooler. The result is an extra 100 hp and 90 lb-ft compared to the 2012 model."
Now THATS "tuning" LOL.

Sorry, the M3 isn't an option in this JUST FOR FUN scenario. It's just used GT-R vs New G37. The 68k don't even have to be considered here. I've seen lower miles for a similar price.
As far as maintenance being high...this is a recurring comment. I'm starting to think that a lot of you guys don't have good mechanics or something. LOL
The only TRULY expensive maintenance on a car is a transmission, electrical, or engine issue in my opinion.

Just speaking about the $2k tranny flush here. Routine Maintainence on a car like the GT-R is still easy enough to DIY. Why would you spend $2k for something that you could DIY for $200?
Then again, if someone can afford a new GT-R, they could probably afford to take it to the stealership.
That's rediculous.
