Market commentary
Despite the hefty $460,000 final ticket price, we’re left a smidge underwhelmed at what we expected to be a big, big sale that stretched toward the seven-figure waterline, especially as bidding reached the $450,000 baseline just one day into the 12-day sale. It has mods, but likely more impactful is the importation red tape. On age alone, this GT-R isn’t qualified for legal importation to the U.S., but as an M-Spec confirmed by the seller, this particular M-Spec Nür is one of the very few R34-generation GT-Rs eligible for the U.S.’ esoteric Show and Display exemption. So it’s eligible for entry, but each car needs its own application under Show or Display. It’s also in Australia, so you face the hassle of jumping through hoops to have it accepted under the Show or Display exemption.
