I wouldn't choose a used GT-R over a GT500 for several reasons. One of the biggest being that being able to "buy" a car and being able to "afford" one are two totally different things.
A GT-R especially used is every bit as expensive to maintain as the typical 250K + super car. For one if that transmission goes to **** you could be down 20K just like that. Car and Driver demonstrated this fact in their long term test of the car. |

You break a part on the GT500, easily replaced and costs the same as a standard mustang part to replace. For those saying they'd rather own a M3/GT-R/Z06, your point with the GT-R and Z06 can be understood, but why would any of you want to own a car that a $27,500 car eats and shits out with less than a grand in mods (referring to standard GT vs. M3)? Things are a dime a dozen here in Germany, the Germans are afraid to mod them for fear of voiding the warranty and killing their 15 year loan investment... yes, they can take out 15-20 year car loans and do, just to drive a fancy car
