Tribunal hears dispute over value of Nissan GT-R mufflerA businessman's grievance over the value of his Japanese supercar's muffler is valid but does not qualify for any financial recompense, the Motor Vehicle Disputes Tribunal says. Mohamed Duwegoda Mudiyanselage, the director of an Auckland business S and A Trades and Services Limited, paid $200,000 for a 2021 "Black Edition" GTR R35 he bought from Azak Cars Limited, last November. But since buying the car, Mudiyanselage discovered the muffler was standard on the Black Edition vehicles. Ozark referred the tribunal to a Trade Me listing of November, last year, where a Nissan GTR "Pure" (the model with lower specifications than the "Black Edition") was priced at $209,990. Ozark also produced evidence of the current cost of buying and importing a Nissan GTR from Japan – about $238,000.
