What Am I Looking At $$ For An R32 Gtr

[overd0se]

Hi,

i know alot of people here have set high prices for there gtrs & its fair enough its there pride & joy and want top dollar for it or even close to how much they paid for it but if your on a budget makes it kinda hard to find one..

i was told 6months ago an importer of a friend could of got me one for 16,500k n i thought he was full of it considering the prices people have them for on carsales etc & due to circumstances no longer have that contact

so basicually what im looking for is a ruff indication on what are they going for in japan so i can get one landed & complied.

who would be the best to talk about getting one from japan if thats the cheaper option & what am i looking at price wise?

cheers.

32 GTR's will range from around $14,000 - $30,000+ you need to be more specific about what it is your actually after... a clapped out 89 model or a mint condition 94 model V-spec2

there was a 1989 gunmetal grey R32 GTR going for $15,000 on J-spec's website, that included freight and compliance.....

depends wot ur after dude..

check out the import websites jspec imports101 etc

but remember ya not gonna buy an A1 32 gtr for 15 k here licenced

A lot of guys have gambled on a $15k GTR & most have bought hand-grenades with shorter-than-acceptable fuses. To me any decent R32 GTR is a $30k proposition & yeah I know the prices have been dropping lately, but you really do get what you pay for & that is still as relevant as it was 12mths ago.

If you go into the deal with a budget of $25-$30k you stand a very good chance of getting yourself a nice car. You can either buy a good one straight-up or gamble on nothing going wrong with a cheapie BUT if you only have $15k to spend all up, when not if something goes wrong you'll be stuck with a car you can't use. If it doesn't, you're ahead but is it really worth the gamble??

Also do not under any circumstances scrimp on insurance, there are waaaay too many stories of "I didn't get insurance 'cos...." that have ended in tears. Don't be another one.

Good Luck

$25K will buy you a 32 GTR worth owning. to be honest I wouldn't worry about how much it costs. if you want to have fun with it you will find over the first 2 years of ownership you will easily spend the purchase price again on the car.

[Iron Chef]

^^^ Exactly. You won't buy a decent, genuine GT-R under $20K landed and complied, probably even $25K would be better.

i would say check out www.imports101.com very good prices.. friendly people.. and great advice.

You may aswell cut your throat if your going to try get a "cheep" gtr

i'd say a nice example in japan now would be around 1.5mil

Now do they have to be standard for compliance?? as there isnt a 15 yr rule?

It cost's 1.5 plus for a GTR worth importing/owning unless you only want one for less then 12 months as you worked out you cant afford to own a "cheap GTR" they are expensive to own and getting a tired one isn't a good start.

It took me months to find my test car and condition was all I cared about not budget, year, spec, colour or klm, we are talking about a 12 to 16 year old highly tuned car.

Spend $12,000 to $15,000 on a GTS-t then you will be able to modify it and keep it running.
