At the same time, maintenance on GTRs in 4 times the cost of 370s.
This is what turns me off. The maintenance costs and any person waiting for the GTR prices to drop so they can afford one will have a very unpleasant surprise waiting for them. Trans + both diff fluid flush will run you $2000. Brakes $4000 +
Tires $1600 + and these cars eat tires because of their weight.
Oil changes are $135 cheapest.
on and on
So once again, anyone waiting for GTR prices to drop, don't overlook the maintenance costs.
And if something breaks engine component/trans, repairs will be in $10,000s

People just need to learn how to do stuff on their own. All those things are very easy to service with some jack stands and a basic set of tools.
