I'd think you could get a turbo one for not much more, especially if you have cash and no trade. And there is a world of difference between the two models.

Turbo would set him back at LEAST another 3-4k for a series 2 though, unless he's not fussed on what series he gets.

3k is not much these days though, you can earn that [gross] inside a month or two. Sh1t most credit cards have a bigger limit.

Plus in 12 months time 3-4k is nothing, BUT an NA is still an NA, for that 3k you get a hellva lot more car.

agree with the above statement...maybe he is red p plater or something.if not id buy the turbo because b4 long you will get sick of n/a and want turbo it.then u will spent more than what it would have cost to buy turbo in the 1st place

Can't agree more; I guess it depends on his age/financial status.

As everyone has mentioned, try and scrape that extra few k's together and grab a turbo mate. If you want skyline you have to do it right.

correct me if im wrong..but my theory is that all non turbo skylinez are going to go up in value once the new turbo lawz come out in july...just the simple fact that people my age gunna want skylinez but cant drive them coz they are turbo so theres going to be a demand for more non turbos, does anyone agree?

Yes.. It's getting old now constantly seeing the responses on here with people saying how even a s2 11.5k n/a skyline is over priced..

They're most likely the ones who have a lot more resources available to them in terms of parts for cheaper prices, so they go hunting for lower priced cars and tend to save a bit by fixing them up themselves.. Not everyone is in the same boat as them and wants to either fix up a car, or go through the importing process. So 11.5k is a hell of a deal if it's in good shape. Especially if it's from a car-yard who might also be able to offer you free servicing etc for 2 years or something similar.

If you can afford a turbo, but your parents say no, get it anyway lol

i have to agree with the parentals there dude... i'd NEVER let a p plater in my 33 gtst, its way too much car for a driver that only THINKS they are experienced... no offence intended...
