R32 Gts-t For $6000

[TDRZA]

hey im a new user wasnt too sure where to ask this so il put it here

i dont no much about skylines and need some advice on wether this is a good buy or not

im looking at buying a R32 GTS-t auto

engine is very stock

standard wheels

paint is average with a large spot of clear coat peeling off around fuel flap

chrome on the front grille and other places is also peeling off

the interior is pretty shabby also the steering wheel leather is coming off and there is a reasonable amount of rips in the seats

hes asking $6000ono... cheap for a 32 ...but considering the interior and paint is it worth the money?

just loking for some opinions from people with skyline experience

Condition of the interior is meh, can always just chuck GTR seats and a Nardi in and theres the interior problems you speak of sorted. Paint would be a bit of an issue if you had no plans for tracking it or a respray later on.

Just check everything is aight mechaincally, as thats where the dollars are if it fks up.

if the look like its in pritty bad shape i'd have to question the condition of the engine and suspension arms/bushes.

6k might be cheap but i think if you really want a 32 save up a bit more and get one that is in better condition, i know i'd be happier with a car that has good paint and interior.

If your a mechanically minded person who can spray paint fairly well and can get contacts for parts then this sounds like a nice project car.

That said I am with QWK32, if the exterior is bad, the interior is bad, chances are it will have received very little care and attention. Buy it knowing that your going to have to fix something and keep a slush fund just in case. Alternatively spend the slush fund on a better car - your call.

poor thing

seen better days

just waiting for someone to feel sorry for it

...but ya never know! It might be just sun-damaged. The engine might be like new! Services all done? No rust?

Motto:- BE CAREFUL

lol buy mine! (in sig!)

i'd say go for it if you're happy with it! do some basic checks, but ye rb's are a heaps strong engine!

is it 2 or 4 door?

[TDRZA]

thanks guys, i really couldnt find out much about the car when i went and saw it because the owner lives out in the country so he left it at his brothers house for people to come look and he didnt no squat about it apparently the owner is an engineer so he probly knows what hes doing to the engine if he thrashes it

its a 2door

the owner said in the ad it has all service reciepts

my uncle owns a panel beaters..but not sure on how cheap hed respray for

i checked the rear mudflaps and there was a little rubber there... (from burnouts)...but could have been his brother thrashing it just the one time he drove it

i think i might say to him if you get desperate il offer $4000 because i cant justify paying 6 for sloppy cosmetics
