Is It Time To Bail?...

[NickR33]

SubzeroR33,

If I were to do it again I would buy something thats already had a heap spent on it.

A PEARL of wisdom! where were you when I was looking for clean and stock! I must admit choosing all the bits etc yourself is fun but you can save a boatload of cash by buying an intelligently modded example... I have seen some killer cars getting let go for great prices on this forum over the years

If you're worried about the car depreciating 5grand in a year then just dont buy a brand new car, you'll lose 5K just by driving it away from the dealership on day one.

Very VERY true

if it does come to under 15k - justuse it for the track and get yourself something nice to cruise around

I bought my 1992 R32 gtst manual with a full HKS exhaust, a bit of a kit and a few other bits and pieces on it for $9400 a year ago!

I have put a bit into it since but i don't plan on selling her..

one day she'll just be my track car and i'll get a GTR for my daily

I enjoy every moment i spend driving my skyline... and you only live life once so why not enjoy it!

I remember just after I finished high school, R33 GTRs were going for close to 80 grand!!! now some 7 years later their actually cheaper than your basic brand new commodore or falcon!! If anything I'd feel those guys A car is car I have a 92 180sx that we bought 3 years ago for 15 grand, now we've spent over 15 grand on it and its not even worth 15 grand, cars are there to be enjoyed not invested in

maybe if ppl didnt buy so many r33s this might never of happened. the competition between sollers and import places are absolutely shockn. whats the one car u can garentee to see everytime u drive? yep.......a r33.

i am willing to bet that if everyone bought lambos as much as r33s.....the price would be alot cheaper.

oh and u dont no what a price drop is unless uve spent 8g on a computer system to only see it worth less then 4g 2 years later

lol you want too see money disapear go race speedway for 20 yrs . the only way to end up with a small fortune racing is to have started with a large fortune lol . if ya worried about how much ya gunna lose dont buy the bloody thing in the first place just use and enjoy

[Sambo33]

yeah, i agree with most here. i enjoy driving my car heaps, i usually rack up most my ks cruising the hills on weekends. my skyline is my main hobby. i see friends smoke and drink their money away week after week, so i see that money spent on my skyline at least has something to show for it. i just see past the negatives, because i am a car enthusiast and would much rather have my money pit R33 that makes me happy than something more conservative and economical that i dont like.

Considering you can get a Grade 4 - S2 R33 GTS-t for 15.5k landed and registered direct from a importer, People dont need to spend 19k for one thats been hear longer and has more km's.

Importers are making it easier to get these cars. Theres a place in Melb that has a flat rate of 16.5k for a grade 3.5 - 4. R33 S2 with around 60,000km.

A decent example will sell for around 8k (AUD) in Japan these days.
