Well, I know it like comparing apples to oranges, but when the PS3 just came out, people were willing to pay +$1500 for one. Then the hysteria died down. It was revolutionary (in terms of graphics) and for those people who were rich enough to pay for one, it was worth it to them. Then within a few weeks (even while supply was short), people realize how stupid it was to pay that much over retail for one. Prices settled, and eventually they were selling for retail. As with EVERY new item (like the iPhone), people pay a premium to be the 1st to have it.

On ebay, there are several GTR on sale, lowest one is for $95K (BIN).

You also can find people who will sell the "position" in line for a thousand dollars (or two) too. Then all you would pay would be the dealer markup. Which isn't $100K. I believe this is the BEST option, if you have the money and are willing to wait 6-8 months to get one NEW at the dealership.

And for those with that kind of cash to play with, the newer GTR V-spec is going to make its debut next year too. So there will be plenty of people with the older GTR wanting to upgrade to the newer one, which will means trade-ins.

Add all these factors in, I still don't think the GTR will be priced >100K one year from now (80-90K, yeah, but surely not 100K). I'm pretty sure you they will be several (if you look hard enough) that will be available at (or near) cost.



But back to the OP, now that the new GTR is here, would you still want an older Skyline? Collectors and enthusiasts can appreciate it for what it is, but performance-wise, a lot of modern cars have or will catch up (ISF, G37, 370Z, etc).

And at the risk of being blasphemous, I'm really excited about the new Camaro.
