Wtb: R33 Skyline

[m_7581]

Hi Guys,

I'm looking to buy a R33 Skyline...preferably manual & on the North/North West coast (easier to check out)

My budget is for around $13k, if anyone has one for sale, or has seen or heard of one for sale, give us a yell!

Cheers

[0WN-3D]

depending on weather i decide to take mine 2 qld with me in 3 months, it may be up for sale...

NOT 13K Unfortunately...

and Im NOT North/North west coast...

GL with finding one mate...

[m_7581]

Yeah...gotta find something pretty soon, i.e within the next fortnight. Might have to venture over to Melb

[toffy]

hmm, i have one but its more than 13k.. actually i just fully serviced it . i will make a suggestion though, if your looking for one for 13k in tassie you will be looking for one for 10k in melb as it will cost you 3k+(the plus is because if its 10k it will most likely need some work) to get it over here and rego'd ... just a thought wheras if you look around the 15-17k mark you find good ones already here registered and dont need money spending on them (for repairs) .

[m_7581]

Holy Shit! $3k to get it over and registered, it would be cheaper to bring it back on the Spirit surely, and Registration would only be around the $600 mark wouldnt it??

I noticed a Grey R33 @ JDS Auto Imports for $13,500, has anyone dealt with these guys before?

Cheers!

Don't forget, You get what you pay for.

Well what Toff means if you buy a car from Melbourne/Sydney/Brissy then you would be looking at:

purchase price: $10k

Flight over: $100-300

Boat: $150-500 (depends on season and availablity)

Fuel: $100

Rego/change over: $1000+

Service/parts: $200-1000+

and i can think of a few more things as well so your 13k budget would be swallowed up pretty quick and you haven't even looked at insurance, an alarm/immobiliser or money in the kitty incase of an emergency/break down.

Is there any reason why you have to have a car in the next fortnight or can you hold off for a little while so you can look at the market with 15-18k.

NO COMMENT on JDS all i will say is if you do go through an importer/broker than make sure you do a little research first

Well from experiance now, the JDS crew is all new, new manager, new service team, all sema preatty good, i have had my car in to get some checks and stuff and din't charg me a thing, VERY helpfull. The new service team is tops, have all the nissan datascan software and so forth.

I got my car through Aussie Car Campliance, with Joel. Check them out, excelent service, and the car is great.

My car cost me $14500, then another $400 to ship form sydney to tasmania. I din't fly over, just freight.

Once in tassie, transfer, regio and insurance, $1500.

So that is $16400 befor i started anything. The car had a full service before i picked it up and with low kilometers i don't have to warry about timmyng belt as yet. The car came with all log books, manuals ect, and i knew exactly what condition the car was in.

Now the car was not perfect, it really need all the side skirts and bumpers resprayed, but that is also cos i am way to anal. I spent propably 6 months looking for the car i liked, and trust me there is a lot of shit out there and for 13K you will be lucky to find a good car, not impossible, but certainly hard.

So far with wheels the car owes me close to 20K, so money gets swallowed up fast. With an import i would recomend getting aftermarket warranty. I didn't, had teh option too, but decided against it. The main reson to have it, is that imports being pedantic cars, tend to break all the little nigly things, O2 sensors, coils, etc etc, these are easy to replace, but all cost money, so warranty helps.

Anyway do some searching and always test drive.

her is what 14.5K got me.

Cheers for comments guys!

I need to get a car within the next fortnight becuause I sold mine about a month ago, and have been driving the missus' car around...needless to say I'm pushing the friendship

I see what Toffy meant, maybe the cost is a little out of my reach at this point in time (saving for a trip to Europe). Initially, I only wanted to spend around $10k, but found my options were very limited. I've checked out a couple of 300ZX's, and was going to look at a 180SX, both around the $13k mark and in fairly shithouse condition, but I always keep coming back to the idea of a Skyline (more practical). I'll just have keep my options open then...maybe an R32.

NNNNOOOOOO get an R33. LOL. they are much fatser in stock form and only slightly heavier. plus it is a more modern car, and the rb25 has far more power potential.

gotta agree with grandmasterb

R32's in that price range you will find a nice car.
