Need Some Advice

[R34P3R]

hey ive been looking to get a skyline for a while now and since im off my probabtion at work i can go and buy one. i found a blue 2000 model r34 yesterday that had done 93k and had just been imported. it is $27000 for it drive away. is that worth it? to me 93k is alot

what would be a good place to get a nice skyline r34 from? i talked to imports101 but some of my friends are telling me not to be so trusting of import companies coz the car the get might break.

Import companies are ok, but only go to the well known ones. Imports101, Autoworx, Prestige Motorsport, J-Spec Imports to name a few.

For a stock standard R34, thats sounding a little pricey to me. I'm currently looking at importing an R34 myself, and don't want to pay more than $22k. This is not unreasonable either. At some places you will pay a bit more bacause you get a warrenty with the car. For instance, autoworx give a warrenty with the cars they sell. I'd say, do your homework and find out everything before you go rushing in. Also take you time if you're going to import. Look out for key words like 'auction grade'. I won't get a car unless it is at least auction grade 4. This means that it is in pretine condition.

Hope this helps

Those km's aren't high, it is an 8 year old car after all and blue r34's (i'm assuming it's a 2dr manual?) are pretty rare in WA so that's a good price for a head turner.

lol @ 22k for an R34... sure you can import one yourself for cheaper but I think 22k is pushing the absolute limits. Not to mention there's all the extra hassle of having to wait months on end, getting it complied, not really knowing if there's something wrong with it, etc.

$22K is very doable for a 34, just don't expect to find anything but auto's for that price... but the Aussie dollar is getting stronger against the Yen, and the 34 is getting on these days, therefore they get cheaper with time... so anything is possible

As for mileage, most car yards consider 10-20K a year to be 'average', so an 8 year old with 93K is quite good/under average km, but condition of car is always the best indication anyway.

All the import companies listed above by R33-GTS are well established and reputable, with my own 32 GTR being imported thru Imports 101, who outlined the whole process for me so I wasn't in the dark.

Good luck,

34s are dropping a lot recently

if your not set on bay side blue which will mean a later model (i believe 00 ) and reasonable km (80-90) you could land and comply one for 22k

its possible to get 34s with much less km but costs will go up

as far as importing all I can suggest is to go with someone who actually gets each car individually inspected . Auction grade varies greatly and cant be trusted 100%.

$22k for landed and complied Manual R34 with normal mileage is more than do-able. Hunt around, but if you want to save your money import through one of the well known companies rather than buying locally.

People always talk of trimming a few k's off.. but if you've been to Japan and see what driving it like over there, it's completely understandable that a car can do under 10,000k's each year.

I'm not saying it hasn't been done before, just that it's not unlikely to find a car (especially a skyline) in Japan that has done very few k's.

thanks for the advice it helps alot

27 is over priced in my opinion i think you should shop around more i looked ast R34s last year before i ended up buying my s15 and there were alot of nice ones with less k's for around the 24thous mark

go buy the autotrader theres always a few in there or if you choose to import go through prestige motorsport i used them for my first skyline jeff is really helpfull just be prepared to wait as it take a fair few months for shipping compliancing etc.

kms dont mean anything check the overall condition of the car, cannot really trust all the kms from japan and 92 isnt much.
