New To Skylines, First Gt-t

[Adriantc]

Hey people, im 23 and looking to buy my first real car and have had my heart set on a R34 GT-T since i first got my new job.

Prepared to spend $20,000 all up on the car... really have my eyes on the following (from what i can gather a r34 can offer)

(sorry bout the long spam only way to copy paste car sales links)

I really like the body kit that is on that i have seen the front on a few r34s now .... seems to be a nismo/aero front or something...

ideally id like a white one with that kind of body kid with black rims...

not really looking for anything done up (bit worried about it been thrashd and all) and most mods do look a bit over the top...

if anyone can give me any pointers on buying a r34 gt-t for the first time please speak up.... as im totaly new to the scene either what to look for or who to go through (private,import,dealership etc) ..... also what kind of money ALL UP im going to be looking at.... insurance etc...

any advise is well appreciated as hopfully by late jan/feb i will have one in my garage

thanks in advance!

Adrian.

The owner in that advert, should have done a major service at 80,000Km. Was that done in full?

You can buy one already landed here Adrian if you'd like to experience the car first hand.

Some importers will even supply a (limited) warranty.

You can ask for cylinder compression tests. Ask for the car to be put up on a hoist to check for repaired damage, rust, seepage, bushes etc

Check for service history & auction papers.

Do all the regular checks that you'd do on any car.

The R34 GT-T is a great car to own when you find the right one. And December/January is a 'Buyers' Market time of year. Be patient. Then haggle hard.
