Despite being a celebrity-owned car, this 2009 GT-R doesn’t come with any special equipment, so it’s a stock model that features the Premium trim, which includes a rear spoiler painted in the same color as the body, LED headlights and taillights, LED daytime running lights, and other exclusive options.

The current owner of the car, who posted the ad on eBay, says the GT-R is “in excellent condition,” and it also comes with the original purchase contract that was signed by Patrick Swayze himself.

The car has 23,500 miles (37,829 km) on the clock and has already received a set of new tires. The seller says they’re looking to sell the car because they “no longer have enough garage space for it.”

The GT-R was originally announced at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show and launched for model year 2009 with a 3.8-liter V6 engine with an initial output of 480 horsepower. The power was then increased to 485 horsepower for MY 2010 and 2011, while the 2012 model received an even bigger upgrade to 530 horsepower.

Very good to excellent condition! This vehicle is wicked fast. Driven, enjoyed and maintained with loving TLC. No accidents, minor or otherwise, has ever happened to this vehicle,” the seller explains in their eBay listing.

So basically, what we have here is a celebrity-owned Nissan GT-R Premium that’s in very good condition and comes with a pretty low mileage. All of these mean the car really can’t be cheap, and it really isn’t. The Patrick Swayze-owned GT-R is now being auctioned off on eBay, and at the time of writing, the highest bid is close to $51,000.

The car can be checked out in person in Los Angeles.
