Hi everyone
Just to give you a quick background check, I have a few cars , i currently own a Audi Q7, C 250 Merc, EVO 8 MR (750bhp) and was looking to get a Gallardo.
Things have come up and I went for head over heart for the time being and need something to bridge the gap for a year or possible 2 as i still have a itch for a car.
I came across the GTR always been in to my jap cars and do like the GTR. My concerns are this. I have heard nothing but problems with the transmission on these cars and people paying £15k to replace them. Also came across this link recently which it wont let me post but if you type GTR in google its one of the paid links i believe its actually the first link called TRUTH ABOUT GTR - Great Terrible Reliability
I have heard in the 2013 option this problem has been fixed, is this correct? If this is correct I then assume not to even touch cars pre 2013? If this is true my problem is i see the deprection on these cars and it seems pretty rapid so wouldnt want to buy a 2013 till at least mid 2015. So basically can you get a pre 2013 car thats not going to give you any drama or will they all give you drama and just wait for the post 2013 models.
Also is there a common mileage range or a clear sign to avoid buying one thats pre 2013? Does the transmission tend to fail around the same kind of mileage? Is it consistant?
I drive moderate to hard, would probably do around 5-8k miles a year.
Also a completely different question, what is involved as a stage 1 upgrade, what kind of gains do you get, and how much does it usually cost. Im assuming litchfields is the place to go ?
Thanks in advance
