Nissan GTR 2012 sticky on the reverse.
LatinR33 replied to jnin's topic in VR Series - R35 GTR, Juke-R
Congrats on the purchase!!! I'm doing my research as I intend to get a 2011+ model. What checks did you get done to the car before purchasing it. -
what to look for when looking for a quality GTR.

Also keen to know how much to budget for a gearbox rebuild as that seems to be the biggest issue. Should $10k do it? If so then would it be worth maybe getting a low km 2009-2010 model for cheaper and use the saved cash aside for if the gearbox decides to crap itself. Or are the newer models better -

Ok so the 2011+ is the goer. What's with the transaxle and bell housing? Are these also 2009-2010 issues? Servicing cost I am use too. Have Ralliart at the moment with SST gearbox and that costs roughly the same to service. -
what to look for when looking for a quality GTR?? Hey everyone, im finally back on the forums after many many years. Sold my old mint R33 when my wife got pregnant some 7 years ago. So now I'm an old 35 year old... Have the good job... wife, 2 kids, house and even a dog! Have just now began thinking of getting myself a R35 and wandering what are the things to look out for. cheers

Just saw this topic.............. Why would you go chopped springs when you can just the coilovers to the softest setting instead. Will ride a lot better,

I don't think a $200 inspection is a waste when your saving a few thousand. Unfortunately I have heard of a time when a repairable write off was being passed off as a demo. So better to be safe then buy a lemon.
-
Seems like the plan is to try and negotiate cheaper price for demo. $3200 saving only on a new car seems a little low. Considering even though the low km's it is still technically a used car and used cars depreciate almost instantly by up to 20%. So correct me if I'm wrong. Offering a price 20% lower than recommended retail would not be put of line. Maybe even push for a little bit more considering the car is driven by the sales manager supposedly.
-
Ok well done some more research and negotiating tell me what you think. I can get a brand new model 2011 for $3200 more drive away. The question is a saving of $3200 worth getting a demo with 500km on the clock.
-
What are people thoughts on demos? I know they are driven hard and stuff but after doing the calculation buying a demo is something which I will need to do or buy private. I've seen a demo Evo x with only 500km on the clock in the same colour and everything I want. Price is within budget also. I will be getting the car fully inspected and try get extended warranty. From what I've read online buying a demo is frowned upon. If it's a good deal and full warranty offered and inspection comes back positive would that be good? Cheers and thanks for your opinions as they are always extremely helpful.

Hey Guys, Sorry for bringing up an old thread but though it would be better than starting a whole new one. I am currently looking at two cars one brand new in Adelaide and one a demo in QLD. Being in NSW does anyone know what the process is when buying an interstate car which is new or a 6 month old demo. Can I use the rego for the 12 months then transfer? Can I get a new car in another state registered in NSW through the RTA? Also anyone know of a trustworthy transport company I can use to transport the car to my sydney address. Just amazing how much cheaper cars are in other states.

New Car Brokers - Good Or Bad?
LatinR33 replied to LatinR33's topic in General Automotive Discussion
Yeah would love to just let someone else put up with that crap. Only main reason I'd consider a broker. Just thought people knew of legit ones which weren't dodgy -
New Car Brokers - Good Or Bad?
LatinR33 replied to LatinR33's topic in General Automotive Discussion
Just thought I'd ask, looks like nothing beats the good old haggle. Car dealerships are a nightmare, went to a new car dealer last week and had to speak with " the manager" before they'd show me the friggen car!! Oh well no pain no gain -
Hey Guys, Has anyone ever used a car broker to purchase a new car? I'm not talking import brokers. Currently in the market for a new/demo family car and someone has told me about car brokers and they can possibly save me money. Personally this seems a little too good to be true, and you know what they say about that. If they are not a big con, anyone recommend a good one which works in the Sydney area. Your opinions will be highly appreciated. Cheers

In in NSW, there is no RACV here. Will take the advise of looking at the reputable workshops.

I had the same issue on my old R33. It was the clutch fork which needed to be lubricated. Squeaky when pressing and releasing, very annoying. Grabbed a can of motorbike chain grease and sprayed in the plastic flap where the fork is located. Annoying problem solved and cost me $6 to fix =)
