    The now-legendary Nissan GT-R R35 took its final bow in 2025 after 18 years of giving German, Italian, and American supercars a run for their money. With such a long and cherished lifecycle, you'd think that Nissan would have sold a gazillion models of the thing, but you'd be wrong. Nissan sold around 48,000 R35's since the generational re-launch in 2007.Ā  Early on, American buyers could have one forĀ less than $70,000. For that relatively low price, you got 480 horsepower from a meticulously hand-built 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6, paired with a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, and standard all-wheel drive. The GT-R's tower of power and its all-wheel-drive system mean it accelerated fromĀ zero to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds, and it clocked a lap around a damp NĆ¼rburgringĀ in seven minutes and thirty-eight seconds (7:38). All that for a sub-$70,000 MSRP. Those were the good old days, though. As the years went on, Nissan consistently updated the GT-R, giving it more equipment and significantly more power,Ā but the improvements came at a cost. By 2021, the GT-R started at $113,450, with top-of-the-line NISMO models priced at $210,740. What used to be a bargain when compared to Ferraris, Porsches, and Lamborghinis was much less competitively priced in its later years, and the sales numbers reflected that. Nissan sold 1,730 units when the GT-R launched in 2009, but only 228 were sold by 2021.Ā  According to CarEdge, the GT-R depreciates by about 42% after 5 years, with an average as-new price of around $172,000, a GT-RĀ would cost around $100,000 on the used market today. That's assuming a yearly average of around 13,000 miles driven, though, which is pretty high for a GT-R, and auction sites with low-mileage offerings seem to fetch much higher prices.Ā  Nissan Predictions of depreciation are one thing, but real-world resale prices are something entirely different. With such low volumes in an otherwise longish 18-year production run (not to mention its otherworldly performance), the Nissan GT-R holds pretty impressive retail values when sold at auction ā€” especially if the miles are low.Ā Ā Ā  An unmolested, unmodified Nissan GT-R commands higher prices in the used market, potentially much more than depreciation numbers might suggest. For instance, a nearly original 2021 GT-R T-Spec with low miles sold for $163,000 at auction recently.Ā Some features and the location of the seller can add to the resale value of a car, but high-performance halo cars like the Nissan GT-R hold their value well regardless of year or trim variant. The high-performance NISMO model comes with a pretty big premium, though, with modified versions currently listed at over $200,000 (not much of a drop from their original MSRP). That's not unprecedented either ā€” a 2021 GT-R NISMO sold at auction a year ago for nearly $210,000, with less than 400 miles on the odometer.Ā As long as they keep theirs in good shape, it appears that Nissan GT-R's have become a worthwhile investment for lucky owners.
