Maine man buys new Nissan GT-R Skyline Edition for $132,985 and sells it for $82k profit after driving just 25 miles

Somebody just sold a Nissan GT-R Skyline Edition in Maine for $215,000 after buying it for $130,000.

This GT-R is a 2024 model, and it came with just 25 miles on the clock.

Not a bad deal.

It sounds like a lot of cash, but considering where Nissan is heading, this buyer might actually have scored a deal.

Who could’ve predicted this?

Not that long ago, if someone had said that one of the most coveted and valuable cars in the world would be the direct heir to a humble line of family sedans, they’d have gotten a pretty good laugh.

Yet today, million-dollar R34 GT-Rs can easily out-bid Ferraris, Lambos, and Porsches.

The most valuable one, by far, is the R34 – or the ‘Fast and Furious one’ – as most people know it.

But it isn’t the only one.

The R33 is also quite popular, and the modern Nissan GT-R (R35) is quickly going up in price.

The Maine resident who owned the example you see here, for instance, made $82,000 overnight flipping his Nissan GT-R Skyline Edition.

This wasn’t a bad payday for this GT-R owner

This owner should teach business at Harvard.

The original buyer purchased the 2024 Nissan GT-R Skyline Edition for $132,985 and sold it on auction with only 25 miles on the odometer for $215,000 – plus buyer’s fees.

If the math is mathing, we’re looking at $82,000 in profit overnight.

To be fair, the car is indeed quite rare.

This is one of just 100 units built to mark the end of the R35 GT-R’s long production run.

This specific model is finished in iconic Bayside Blue with a Sora Blue leather interior and powered by a twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6 paired with a Fujitsubo titanium exhaust.

The reason why this may still be a good deal

We shouldn’t forget that the Nissan GT-R is actually not that expensive.

Or maybe we should say it ‘was’ considering it is no in longer production.

When it first came out, in 2008, the original MSRP was a hair under $70,000.

And we’re talking about a sports car that could give most supercars a run for their money and actually outperform some of them.

The MSRP has gradually been going up, but it always remained well south of $150,000.

Around a decade ago or so, $150,000 would have been enough to buy almost any car with a few exceptions.

Today, you can end up spending $150,000 or more on sedans like the Porsche Taycan or Lucid Air or SUVs/trucks like the GMC Hummer EV or the Lucid Gravity.

Sadly, the GT-R is now gone.

It’ll be replaced – we don’t know what with yet – but we can bet money it’ll cost a lot more than $100,000-$150,000.
