If I was spending £60k on a used car it would be a Aston Martin. Otherwise for £60k I would be buying a brand new C63 AMG
As capable as the GTR is, I could never own one. They just don't do it for me in anyway, everytime I see one on the road I never get the 'have to own one of those' feeling, I think they are fugly as hell! A 997 Turbo on the other hand
its a pukka drifting machine too that C63. still don't like the interior of the Mercs tho.

Even if I cost twice as much to run you would get at least 10 years out of it by which time you would have changed cars anyway. Thats sorta beside the point though. If you have the earning power to afford a 120k car you will buy the one your heart desires the most.If you have the earning power however to buy a 60k car, you might not be able to afford the additional running costs that are closer to that of a 350k car. So in the case of the GTR buying it is one thing, but running it is another. Certainly why I have a deposit on a TTRS and not a GTR.Plus nissan see the GTR box as a consumable, and we all know those arent cheap. Geabox oil change every 4500 miles, against the porsche 90,000 miles
