well when i find the right one i will be 20! (am atm but you know what i mean!)

DauntingGecko · 18th April 2008, 08:00 PM

Are you sure the young pre-25 year olds are talking about the R35?!

Unless your exceptionally fortunate I cannot see how a very young 20 ish lad can afford to just buy a £55,000 car let alone run, insure and maintain the thing. I didn't know we had premiership footballers on this forum...

I could maybe see it if one young person has got lucky by investing, creating a company or even winning the lottery - but I doubt very much there would be anyone here that has done this. Truely baffle's me. It's costing me an arm and leg to keep a £20k car running and I am only 23 and on pretty good wages (so I can only presume some maybe telling porky's in this vote).

I would imagine the odd 1 or 2 people under 25's are complete nutters and have decided to invest in it. Still, I cannot see how?! All I can say is, they must be doing something right in life that the rest of us cannot see...

Edit: This is intended for the UK audience as I am aware that in other countries, the GTR maybe a lot less.

I bought a UK 300ZXTT at 21, my 1st R33 when I was 22 and my current car (UK car) when I was 23.
The list price with the mods I had done was about 60K.
Since then I've done 'a few' mods.
I did it all off my own back having left school at 16 to do an apprenticeship.
I started working offshore at the age of 18.

There's a lot of young people who earn quite a lot of money, plenty enough to buy the new GT-R, just most have other priorities.
