craz0 Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 What do you class as good prices? R33 and R34 GTR's still fetch good prices for good examples and when you see the cheaper ones you have to ask your self why, whats wrong with it. R33 $40k to $50k R34 $90k to $100k Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/31014-where-to-find-the-best-deal-on-a-gtr/#findComment-625894 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not trying to find a bargain just trying to find somewhere who sells them with reasonable profit. I'm not going to give any names here but some sydney importers must be out of their minds to ask $120-140K for near standard R34 GTR and $60 for R33 GTR. Just like you said if it's way below market price it'll make you suspect the car however if it's way over the market price than it makes you suspect the dealer (read: greedy).

I got my car through j-spec and couldn't be happier, some dealers/car yards can be greedy but some of them wear the cost of purchase, shipping, compliance etc etc and want a good profit.

SKY031 Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 You don't want to buy a 'cheap' GT-R If you do, you'll end up way out of pocket after you've fixed all the 'minor' problems.

Dominic Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Guys Im currently obtaining my Motor vehicle dealers license. So i have a fair bit of inside knowledge in the car game. 1. The difference between a $50k car and a $40k car is $10 k, THERE IS LITTLE OTHER DIFFERENCE IN STOCK CARS. 2. People "arrange" to have the speedos wound back to around 40 -60k as the aussie market likes cars with this amount of ks. (Theres a guy that advertises in the Sydney trading post to wind back your speedo) 3. A car with loads of extras adds only a little to the price, many dealers remove extras, such as alarms, suspension etc as a stock car sells for a fair price and there is a ready market for aftermarket gear. 4. remember when you buy from a dealer you have to be prepared to pay for part of his rent, wages, insurance, license fees, advertising and the big killer GST of 10% on imports. The trick is look at heaps of cars add what the extras THAT YOU WANT will cost you second hand and then offer a fair price. Remember that theres plenty out there that wanna take ya money, not many want to help you make some money.

jlnewton Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 I went through http://www.directimported.com.au/. I found Phil very good to deal with. My car hasn't arrived yet so I can't give you the final answer but so far it has been a good experience. I looked local for a bit over 6 months and was dissapointed with what was on offer so went the import my own route for better choice. Look to pay for a good grade stock 33 GTR between $40-45K for non V-spec and $45-50K for a V-spec. People will tell you they can get heaps cheaper and all the local GTRs that I looked at were cheaper but the reality is to get a good grade (4+) 33 GTR thats what you have to pay, if you want cheaper you get cheaper. Never looked at 34s a little out of my range. Good luck!

Zagan Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 Your best to buy stock, I've been looking around as well. And I think you could get a R34 GT-R non v-spec for around the $40,000 to $45,000 imported and all the on the road costs. no idea about an R33 GT-R but it'd be less maybe $30,000 all up? Right now I just did a conversion, for a 90,000 yen to aud and it is $1108.80 AUD. I've checked that at 3 different converters and it's same at each one. So you can get some real cheap cars, just need the time to wait for a good car at the right price.

Zagan Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 You'd be looking at the 1.2-1.5 million yen mark. 1.2 million yen = $15,000aud 1.5 million yen = $18,500aud you'd add on an extra $5,000AUD TO $10,000AUD for the extras.

MiSTER2 Posted January 4, 2004 Author Share Posted January 4, 2004 Zagan those prices are too good to be true! Mines Datsun i'm just doing my homework before i buy a r33 or r34 gtr (both v-spec), but not really in a hurry to buy. Is it easy to buy a car from vic and register it in nsw?

jlnewton Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 Those prices are too goo to be true. For a decent 33 GTR at a Japan auction you will be looking for about 2 million yen all the way to 2.5 million yen for a real spanky version (stock). Even grade 1 or R still go for around 1.6 - 1.7 million. And anyone who can ship, pay duty and GST and then comply a car for around 5 -10 000? Give the name of your governmentcustoms officer and compliance workshop! Those prices sound good for 32s and 33s not 33s and 34s.
