Tires are over $500 each and they wear very quickly if you drive hard. There are quite a few other ancillary costs that rack up as well.

They're fun cars to drive; not as engaging as the Z, but fun nonetheless. Definitely attention-getters when you're out in public.
I have looked into it and it is pretty expensive compared to the Z but thankfully I have a job where I can afford it.

I may be a young gun but I have always been smart with my money and stayed within my means and thats why I plan to get a used GT-R and not a new one... up front cost for a new gt-r is not affordable for me.
