About the Nissan Laurel Club S (C35)

The C35 Laurel Club S is one of the great overlooked RB25DET cars. It is a comfortable, quiet, four-door Nissan saloon with a 250 hp turbocharged inline-six, rear-wheel drive, and โ€” on the Club S โ€” a limited-slip differential and firmer suspension. In Japan it was a middle-management car; abroad it became a drift chassis.

Investment Grade ยท Solid

The Nissan Laurel Club S (C35) (1997-2002) sits in a solid mid-tier position, offering bulletproof reliability (78/10) that owners routinely daily-drive paired with low running costs (48/10 maintenance). The RWD platform attracts a steady enthusiast following, and parts remain widely available (52/10). Market-wise values are up a healthy +13.0% year-on-year while a rarity score of 43/100 means you can afford to wait for the right car โ€” accessible next to Grade A and S cars, with condition and mileage doing most of the pricing work.

Price estimates are based on market research and recent sales data. Values fluctuate based on condition, mileage, and market demand. Not financial advice.
