A new black edition is like $115K. It was like $90K… a 09 Premium was like $80K new. Anyone who buys a high mileage 09 better have it checked. LC1 wasn’t forgiving.

If your bussiness is roofing, I highly doubt writing off a $21,600 for a “business vehicle” would fly. A F350 or something maybe, but its not easy to put shingles in the trunk of a GTR.

Not too many businesses I could think of could claim a legit NEED to have a GTR, to write it off.
