The R35 GT-R arrived as the performance bargain of its era, a hand-built, twin-turbocharged giant-killer, and clean early examples have become genuinely collectible. This 2010 Premium is an exceptionally low-mileage, well-documented, two-owner car. It sits on Cars and Bids at $30,240 with six days to go.

What it’s worth right now
Depreciation on the R35 GT-R has stalled and reversed, with low-mileage early cars appreciating as the model winds down. According to Kelley Blue Book and current listings, clean 2010 GT-R examples generally trade from close to $60,000 into the $80,000s, with exceptionally low-mileage, unmodified cars commanding the upper end and beyond.
Fair value for an exceptionally low-mileage example like this sits close to $60,000 to $85,000, most likely close to $68,000 to $76,000, with the very low mileage, documentation, and unmodified condition supporting the figure and the notes below tempering it. At $30,240 with six days remaining and a reserve, the bidding should climb into that range.

Condition and details
The car is a remarkably preserved, well-documented example. Finished in Super Silver over black, it uses the hand-assembled 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6, rated at 485 horsepower, driving all four wheels through a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, with Bilstein dampers, Brembo brakes, and Bose audio.
Cars & Bids
It shows just 6,800 miles across two owners, is unmodified aside from a radar detector, and comes with an extraordinary paper trail, including the window sticker, manuals, records, and a diary the original owner kept of every drive.
Cars & Bids
A couple of points deserve attention. There is cosmetic wear on high-touch interior areas, and the dashboard is cracked with some split leather, a known issue on these cars, so inspect it against the photos. The tires date to 2024, and the car recently received a substantial service including spark plugs, differential fluid, and brake fluid. As with any GT-R, the running costs are significant, so budget accordingly.

What makes the GT-R unique
The R35 GT-R stunned the automotive world when it arrived, delivering genuine supercar performance at a fraction of the price of its European rivals. At its heart sits a hand-built twin-turbocharged V6, each engine assembled by a single master technician, driving a sophisticated all-wheel-drive system that gives the car staggering traction and all-weather usability. Combined with a launch-control-equipped dual-clutch transmission and an infotainment system developed with the makers of the Gran Turismo video game, it was a technological tour de force that embarrassed cars costing several times as much, earning it the nickname “Godzilla.”
Cars & Bids
That combination of accessible, giant-killing performance, hand-built engineering, and everyday usability is exactly why the R35 has become such an icon, and why clean early examples are now appreciating. As the model finally winds down after an extraordinarily long production run, low-mileage, unmodified, well-documented cars like this one have become genuinely scarce and increasingly collectible.
My take
This is a special GT-R, and the preservation and documentation set it apart. An exceptionally low-mileage, two-owner, unmodified example is exactly what the appreciating early-R35 market rewards, and the original owner’s driving diary is the kind of provenance that inspires real confidence. As a giant-killing supercar that is easy to live with and increasingly collectible, it is a compelling buy.
Fair value sits close to $60,000 to $85,000, most likely close to $68,000 to $76,000, with the cracked dashboard and running costs the main things to weigh. Before bidding, inspect the dashboard and interior wear, review the extensive documentation, and budget for GT-R maintenance. Handle that, and this is a beautifully preserved, appreciating example of a modern icon.
