set of gtr tires last around 10k with 'spirited' street driving, in my experience. a new set of OE tires, which are really good rubber, runs about $1800. DIY oil change every 3k for $60, brake pads every 10k $800, other fluids changed every 10k $700. that's about all the regular expenses a gtr has. yes, the gtr has a warranty, but the people that try to sell a gtr based on the fact that it has a warranty are the same people that get online and bitch later about how they feel they've been wronged by nissan because something was denied warranty. it is what it is. like i said in my above post, if you can't afford to pay for supercar maintenance, then don't buy a car with supercar performance, because it will command supercar bills.

this is why people buy gtr's. it's the best bang for the buck you can get. handles like a ferrari, acceleration like a rocket, and cheapest to own and operate out of any car in it's performance class. you can't get that with any other car under $200k.
