HR361 - 2017 GT350R - The Story

Took them down - sorry man - it's not something that is typically held sacred as anyone could find it. It's yours, though, so I killed it.

And the kicker....... your caliperfexion studs went with it. I wasn't going to undo that mod......

Funny thing is, there have been a number of guys that went from a Track Pack car to an R and ordered a second set for their new acquisition. It's simply one of those mods that make sense and yanking them, would not.

Nice job! how was the deal for the trade in?

51K. I see some folks trying to get 55ish private party and I got a big tax break via the trade. It made sense.

No tire kickers, no low ball offers, no creeps.

Congratulations Tom!

That car is a beauty. Now get those first 500 miles on her!:cheers:

Congrats Tom! Glad to see deals like this local to me, especially a forum member. Hope to see your R one day!

I would have done trade as well if I had that offer, luckily my R wasn't shipped yet so I had some time for serious buyers to inquire. Selling private party is not easy, that's for sure. The hardest thing is biting your tongue on retarded low ball offers. My favorite is when I advertised for sale and stated currently have a trade in offer of $49K not including tax savings, and getting offers of $45K or $48K. What fucking part of I already have a trade in offer higher do you not understand??

I just bought a blue one for $5K over with a decent trade offer. Great feeling to finally have the deal after shopping around for months! I inquired on the yellow one, but I just can't live with yellow.

Congrats on your R!!

Cheers!!

Love the color. I'm glad your persistence paid off. It usually does. :cheers:

That's why I'm getting a grey one too, however the yellow is growing on me. Its an additional $500 option, so the whole R thing is rarity and collectability. Just makes it a bit more rare

I wasn't crazy about TY until I saw one in person and then got to drive it.

For me when seeing this color in person gave me a whole different perspective and like it much more than some of the other colors offered.

:clap2:

Supply and demand. Supply has caught up.

Congrats on the R! This color was the first R I ever saw in real life when I took my previous 350 in for an oil change, they just got one in for a customer so I got to check it out. Although, I don't think I could see myself getting a yellow car, I still think it looks awesome, even better in person. I am still in the waiting game for my R but at least I get to look at everyone else getting theirs....

I certainly agree with your comment but once the 2017 R's are done which should not be too long from now where do you think the market will go for the 2018 R's as I suggest there will be quite a big time line gap between the end of the 2017 R model production and when the 2018 R's start to appear?
