Few Questions

[person_5]

hey guys, sorry if this has been asked before but yeh bear with me

so im looking at skylines for my first car, i got sick of driving mums and wanted to know just some general stuff

if anything (hopefully) its probably gonna be an r32 gts-of some sort or r33 gts- or something, just cos they are cheap atm (for my budget) and there are lots around for sale.

a few questions were what kind of costs am i looking at for insurance, how often you guys service how much servicing costs, how they are on fuel and are they reliable, especially for r32s.

thanks for your help, and if theres anything i should know, then please let me know

reminder, its a first car so i dont want to get sucked into something that'll rape in a few years time lol, besides if im gonna modify it, which seems to be the general trend with you guys

thanks

Skylines are not fuel economical cars period! Being a first car and an import, ur insurance will not be cheap.

Yes R32s and 33s are cheap to buy, but be prepared with lots of spare cash for maintainence, repairs and servicing if you want it to be a reliable daily.

Sorry if I bust your bubble but those are the facts.

It's a buyers market out there right now - however, when you factor in why people are selling, is it because

i) they're upgrading

ii) reducing costs like fuel or maintenance or

iii) reliability risks ??

I'd tend to wait a few months and see if fuel costs tend to go up or stay the same.

If they stay the same and your finances improve + you have the income to maintain a car like an R32, the best time to buy is also the hardest time to sell.

When ?? December-January is when sales yards are on the skids !

Hope this helps,
