R32 looks dated so if you are only after performance go for it as they are fast and handle great,as for it being a collectors item as you say,I dont think so there are way too many around.G37s have all the comfort you could want as a dd with decent power to boot.

 

You also need to look closely at a 20 year old performance car. It's probably had several owners, and there's a good chance it's been driven hard by some of them. Even though it's half the price up front, the repair costs will probably be quite a bit more.

 

Yes r32 gtr isn't exactly latest styling but it has a prooven racing background and to this day with minor mods can run with much newer spec cars..

However, my circumstances have changed and I have to buy a car in the next few days because my current daily is a POS that keeps breaking down. I havn't had the time to save up enough cash so I am going to settle for a G35 for my next car.

Naturally I'm drifting towards a manual coupe but they are MUCH more expensive. I can however get a much cheaper manual sedan with high k's. I think I would prefer the manual sedan over a tiptronic coupe. Is there much of a performance difference between the coupe and the sedan?

 

I just bought myself a 2004 g35 MT sedan. I will post up pictures soon.
