I was helping a friend of mine search for a 01+ 360 we have been looking around even with hook up it was 120+.... CS is still way up there ...

When I was working in Japan about 4 years ago I was actually consider buying one myself because of the attractive price and I always like the style.. I was planning to drive it in Japan and ship it backand covert to US spec for about 13k when I return to state, I have seen a lot of people done it in the past and it is way cheaper than buying it in the US but down side is it is harder to sell and not every Ferrari dealer here would service a grey market... so yeah 100k or less for 360 is possible but I don't think he can find a US car for that cheap unless it is beat up with 20k miles on it...

Tell your friend to look into impound ones if he's still brave enough to think about the insurance and the maintenance cost.

They can be had half of the price, at about $80, G.

PS--- Why not just hit up JIMMY540I ?

They may be indepentently owned, but Nissan can pull the dealership. Back around 1990 or '91 Nissan pulled an Infiniti dealership near me in Newton, MA. I had a friend who was a sales manager for another Infiniti dealership. He said that dealership was playing games with customers and so Nissan just stopped selling them cars. I have no idea what any kind of contract exists between the manufacturer and the dealer, but apparently the manufacturer protects itself from unscrupulous dealers.

Plus aside from pulling a dealership, the manufacturer could just cut that dealer's allotment of that model to 0!

As much as I love F-cars, no way I would get one unless I'm really rich. With money to burn. Even then, the only ones that are close to capable of daily driving are the very new ones...the 613 and 599. I wouldn't buy anything I couldn't drive the crap out of any time I wanted.....and twice on Sundays.
The GTR, a daily drivable brute force object. It's a no brainer.

Honestly the 360's are no prob as daily drivers, I know a guy that drove the snot out of his all over NYC (pothole capitol of the world) with no issue.

As I said earlier, if you want a 360 to run correctly drive them like you stole them as much as you can, that's the rule of thumb with these cars.

Thanks to this threads I've been back locked on 360's for the last 2 hours! LOL
Gotta keep working hard!!

Thanks everyone !

OK... first of all..... I just don't see myself paying, let's say "$20grand over sticker" on a NISSAN !!! (I know I know..it's a skyline)..hahaha.. but still Nissan !! IMO. Even if I have zillion dolla and filthy rich where money is no object, I JUST don't see myself doing that !!!

Ferrari..yes... I better look into around 100 grand or over for a nice/clean low mile beauty. 360 is not as bad as older model Ferrari's, such as 355 Berlinetta and 348ts and 512 Test'rossa in maintenance.

I don't know...... see, this is where I'm stuck !! hahaha.

If you don't see yourself paying big bucks for that Nissan, why the heck did you start a thread asking the question. I love playing around on the internet but I don't like trying to help out for nothing. I hate when people ask opinions they don't really want just to post a thread.

Yeah, I had to vent! But it's all good. You can post what you want.

An old boss had a 308 I think and he got rid of it after being stuck on the side of the road a few times and spent like $6,000 on a tune up. For $100 grand I would get a used NSX for the looks of an exotic and daily driver and a newer vette or viper for when I want to play catch me if you can. I'd only spend that for a Nissan in racing games on a PS2 or Xbox 360.

actually an nsx isnt a bad idea lol

Hypnotik

I would get a brand new ferrari if it were possible in that price range. You have no idea where a used ferrari has been and how it was driven. There is a chance that you may end up getting stuck with very very expensive repair bills. I'd say get the brand new GT-R.

UberNoob

id say get a porsche 911 turbo and call it a day
lol

paying 20k on top of sticker is just ridiculous for a nissan GT-R
i wouldnt let them have the satisfaction
its the principle

hahaha that's funny... the new R35 GT-R is not a skyline.. skyline is family sadan in japan it share nothing with the new GT-R... I own all 3 previous generation R32, R33, R34 Skyline GT-Rs so ya we all call those Skyline but the new R35 is not a Skyline.. you might want to do some research...

what's wrong with spending $$$ on a Nissan? I have help some friend air freight a 15k tranmssion from Australia and 20k on a rebulit motor from Japan and they all went into a Nissan.. I don't see other have problems spending $$$ because its a Nissan... If you think because its a Nissan and you don't wnat to spend any $$$ may be you are looking at the wrong cars to play with..

sorry to go off topic... But If I have spare 100k to spend right now and I want something flashy will probably go buy myself a nice watch not a car
