    Hands Up all the Aussies

    I got my deposit back last week, had ordered a manual proto and Nissan confirmed my order was the 13th in the country. I had mentioned earlier there was bad news coming and white the delivery date info has mainly filtered out now the reason has not really been confirmed. only going off what I...

    I also got sick of waiting for a confirmed delivery date. MY dealer was always transparent. I had confirmation I had a car and it was on the water. As a result I advertised my car and sold it awaiting the new delivery being within the next two weeks. A week later I get a call stating that...

    More correct than you can possible imagine. I cant spill any beans as I may a: loose my deposit & b: be sued by a multinational car company

    I just had a conversation with my dealer regarding my Proto order that was cancelled a week ago. I honestly cannot believe the news that is coming... Stay tuned, things are going to get a lot lot bumpier. Brace yourselves people...

    So long and thanks for all the fish. Iā€™m out people. I have pulled my order for the proto and will need to buy another car. The wait has been long but the announcements and then missed deadlines time after time and no ETA has made the decision for me. My dealer has been beyond excellent in...

    That black car looks outstanding. although if I bought a black one I would be tempted to mod the s#*t out of it.

    the other one sold for less than $101 I am guessing. it was listed at $101. I think now that it is gone the other seller is trying to capatilise on the fact that he now has the only one for sale in the country. I think you would be fairly stupid to pay $120 for a car that sold for $101 the...

    I am in the same boat, I was told my proto was on the water 2 weeks ago, I can only assume it was on the prestige ace. I don't have anything from my dealer and I don't think they even have a VIN. I am based in Tassie so are probably a good 3 weeks behind you in the queue. I have made the...

    The market will decide the price and they will see eventually but my guess is at about 95k when you factor in someone will have to pay stamp duty on top of asking price, finance rate will be higher due to being second hand itā€™s going to cost the buyer nearly 10k over new price and may be hard to...

    Stripped back to the bare elements today and it helps to appreciate buying an analogue sports car. No traction control, power steering, power assisted braking, in fact no doors, roof or anything apart from 3 pedals 200 Hp in a 500kg bullet. Bit slippery this morning. Then I realised proto...

    Luxury!!! I dreamed of priming my car! I didnā€™t even have the money to do that and aspired to owning a primed torana. Glad things have changed šŸ˜Š

    Also forgot to mention, the car steps out very easily. For those that have not owned a car with a mechanical LSD it could end it tears. I predict there will be a few of these that end up wrapped around posts. Having said that itā€™s what a sports car should drive like

    I went to have a look today and I am impressed. No regrets at all. boulder grey looks amazing. The proportions are perfect and as others have said they look so much better in real life. suspension is quite soft but steering brakes and power delivery are all great. Acceleration was better than...

    100% agree. Itā€™s a sellers market for cars. And when interest rates peak there will be all sorts of discounted toys. But when you look at actual purchase price of 87ish you can enjoy your car for as long as you want and not worry about depreciation as long as you miss the 3 and 5 year lease...

    The quick profit is tempting but like the GTR this is the last of its kind. Drive and enjoy it. In years you will be kicking yourself for selling early. coming from a guy that has owned and sold the following cars for these prices R32 GTR 2004 $16000 S1 Elise 2014 $28000 996 GT3 2017 $50000...

    Sigh... I had an order in place for an R Spec and cancelled it just weeks before delivery. Cheapest one is now $120k used. I did get to drive one last year and it was a handful. The reason I didn't buy it was I thought at the time 100k was too much for the car given the level of fit and...
