R33 Gtr's

did R33 GTR's just suddenly get cheaper?

i remember they used to be up in the 35+k zone, and while looking on jspec and imports 101 for a car for a mate, we saw 3 R33 GTR's for $25-27,000

one white, one black, and one (my favourite) midnight purple..

admittedly they are somewhat stock, but id rather a nice midnight purple GTR, than my GTS-T.

especially seeing as the money im just about to spend on it getting it the colour, and power i want, i wont see back., and the GTR already has that stuff, and same price.

or perhaps the GTR's im looking at are duds?

some feedback would be great, because ive got this money to drop into my gts-t, but if these gtrs are the real deal, for 26k ill snap one up.

Yeah I have noticed this as well. They have dropped a fair bit in price. Maybe its the dreaded 10 years old mark they get in the books. Also fuel, people must not be buying them and going for newer 1.4-2.0 litre cars now anyway.

the entire car market is very depressed because of fuel costs

I would think the r33 gtr price would have to come down with the 32s being so cheap. the 32 R has such a colt following that anyone with a 33 r that is alot more expensive is going to struggle selling it.

[fuzzy_scuz]

If the car has had accident history then the car will be a lot cheaper. Even with the 32 GTR's you start going from A1 stock the lesser stock quality and hence it is cheaper.

did an insurance quote for a $28,000 R33 GTR with minimal mods (exhaust, pods, etc)

ITS CHEAPER TO INSURE A R33 GTR, THAN MY MODDED R33 GTS-T!!!

albeit my gts-t is approx 280rwhp, i thought a gtr which is worth a good $10,000 more, and almost similar power would be more?!

looks like its 33 GTR time people!

What I learnt with shopping for GTR's is - you get exactly what you pay for. If you think the cheaper GTR's are as good as they make out - your kidding yourself.

[mitchy_]

i dont expect it to be grade 5, nor do i expect low km's, lods of mods, etc..

but these ones seem to be in decent condition

one im looking at is dead stock, rims, exhaust, suspension, everything.

has done about 100,000km, and has some scratches on the front bar, so it doesnt seem that bad for $27,000.

only problem with this is no one will buy your gtst ! unless you want to drop 10k off it it seems....

also in my searching im starting to agree with IMACUL8

like you can get a 95-96 gtr vspec for 28k

but you can also pay 36k for the same vehical , there is a reason for that .

im starting to think it would be wiser to come in at the top end of the scale and pay 30k top level great condition 32gtr than a average 33

[gazza750]

well i looked at 33 gtrs and 32 gtrs b4 i sent $27000 on my 32 as overall it was better condition than a $35000 r33

[32vspecII]

yep thats exactly what im discovering

cheap r33 gtrs are just that

cheap

They may be getting cheaper but they're still ugly

[atessa]

i'm with you gav, 32 or 34, there is no 33 (say in a yoda voice).

they're just fat. not pretty. fast yes, but they just don't have that certain something. my 2 cents anyway.

and on the topic, better off paying for a good, clean stock model, than a hotted up pig.

[lordsnipe]

the thing is, whilst 33 gtrs have dropped in price, so have 33 gtsts ...so you're probably paying the same amount of "top up" money than before.
