Yea 20k in a GTR would get some im serious power. I'm just trying to pay off my Z and have no car payment for a while and then trade the Z in with money saved for bolt on parts and whatever. Maybe tower we can start a KCthread on the GTR forum on day.

If everything keeps going the same way, I'm hoping it will be in about a year and no more than 2. I found a 2013 GTR for 37k but it has flood damage.

Yea im looking to get one in a year. When the 2015 Nismo GTR comes out used GTR's will drop even more. What was the cost of that 2013?

Wow 80K on a GTR....I don't think I would have one for a daily driver but obviously that one must have been. I agree the price is a little high for that many miles. I do love the GTR but I also like the stingray corvette...would probably still go for the GTR because like the Z you don't see them all over the place.

They run normal price between $95,000 to $110,000. If you are looking for a cheap GTR just search for Salvage GTR's. Some only have cosmetic damage others are burnt to a crisp, really, burnt to nothing.

i dont think you would find out the damage until after 20k miles when all sensors and stuff like that start acting up. I'd avoid any car that isnt 100% cared for, yes accidents happen, but id avoid all problems if i could before they happen.

I think it may vary by state. Some states it's if the water is up to the door sill. Some may be higher. Some may be lower.

Yes, it could take a while for the "damage" to become evident. Also, to my knowledge, that salvage title stays with the car forever.

I'm sure that most of these are coming from the east coast. Even if you can pick it up for $35k and spend $10k on having someone go over every single part. I'd say it would be worth it. At the same time you'd never be able to sell it again with the salvage title tattooed to the car.
