Thanks for the replies guys, and thanks for the offer, but $25,000 is about my limit mate. I am in Melbourne central if that helps. Sheldon your car is amazing, very much what I'd love to own. If only I had that kind of money available. Do you have lay-by? hehe The kind of look I'm after, with the KenStyle body kit and rims. To me, this is a very stylish looking vehicle. Not as good as Sheldons, but for $25,000, I'd be very happy.

Hi, I'm in the market for a V35 350GT. I've seen two vehicles on carsales that I'm interested in. Both have aftermarket parts (mainly body kits and rims) I rang each seller to inquire about a time to come and view the vehicles and both chaps stated the following: 1. Am I willing to pay the $25,000 asking price. And 2. Am I serious about purchase and not just wanting a joy ride? I find it somewhat strange seeing that each persons ad stated "Reasonable offers considered." and "ANY REASONABLE OFFER IS CONSIDERABLE!" (sorry for the caps, its a copy/paste from the ad) I explain to each chap 1. I am not going to commit to purchase $25,000 from a few pictures on the internet without seeing the vehicle in person first. And 2. I am 43 years old, and have owned a R32GTR, R33GTR and a Stagea 260RS. Joy ride? Hardly ... How would their reaction be when I tell them I want the vehicle looked over by a mechanic of my choosing before purchase? I hadn't even got to that part yet ... Each of these guys have fobbed me off since. One guy has not replied at all to my txt messages, and the other did the classic "I'll give you a call when I have time, I'm very busy atm" I'm a little disheartened by this whole experience. My 32 was an import. My 33 was from a dealer. My 260rs was an import also, but the guys I usually dealt with are now out of the game, and carsales is the only place I've looked thus far. Granted if I import a vehicle I cannot get it checked out first. The company can have their person go over it, and a rating is given which helps, but there's no guarantees - I've learned that over the years with the imports. But the cars in question are only a few suburbs away. Surely they don't expect someone to commit 100% to purchase from a brief description and a few pictures on the internet do they? Anyone got any advice on how to go about getting a V35 350GT? Find an importer? Keep trying carsales? There's not a lot to choose from that have the look I'm after unfortunately. Your advice is muchly appreciated. Cheers guys.
