Coolduck_69 Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 (edited) Hi guys, Im on my search for my first turbo car, Im looking for a silver R33 series 2 M spec, should I be looking at Private sales or dealer/importers. Does anyone one know of anyone selling this car or can recommend me a good dealer in Melbourne. Thanks guys Edited December 17, 2007 by Coolduck_69 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/198070-help-in-buying-my-first-skyline/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spunky Munky Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Mate, despite the understanding of how hard buying a new used car may be. The only advice anyone can give you is to search the SALES (whole cars) section, check www.carsales.com.au and also going to some dealerships. There are several good cars online now... I would look at importers and dealers last as they will some time charge you an arm and a leg. Good luck mate. Do your homework and only settle when you know you've found the right one.

adam-__- Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Just keep your eye on the for sale section and carsales, carpoint, etc. Test drive as many cars as possible and read the "what to look for when buying a skyline" thread. There's also a huge thread about which dealers are good and member's experiences in this section. Oh and look at private seller cars first in my opinion. Good luck with your search!

carizma Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 stolen_s15: cheers for the compliment, mate. Coolduck_69: we just sold a white one (R33 turbo) for $13,500. The buyers might be members of this forum I believe. Every car is different, so just look at a bunch of cars, and get to know what to look for that usually goes wrong in that particular model. If you don't know anything, arrange an inspection with a reputable mechanic (even via the RACV, but imports aren't their strongpoint, and some of them have an anti-import bias for some reason). come see us anytime and definitely check out as many dealers / private sellers as you can. cheers, david @ carizma SSVCorner Princes HWY & Huntingdale Rd OAKLEIGH 9543 3722 I got my r33 through theses guys, and so have my friends.

DogKnight Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Im the second owner of my car in Australia. It came from kamikaze imports in nunawading. I know they arent the cheapest around by any means, but the car was in very good condition.

AutoTrust Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I use and recommend J-Spec Imports for someone willing to import themselves. Most cars can be inspected by a network of mechanics in Japan and will provide photos from every angle with attention to detail. This is the way to go if you want to save money, but it's not for everybody. Good luck, hope you find the right car.

saff_cossie Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Another +1 for SSV, very professional family business and always a good selection of vehicles. I shopped around first and these guys were the best for me when I got the Evo.
