R32 Gtr Vspec Ii

[bootlegapparel]

I've been looking at a vspec II for sale, it's completely stock, good condition all round, only thing I noticed was the odometer was out of alignment (whether or not that means much I'm not too sure, general condition of the car seems reasonable - I'll get a MTA inspection later on). I've done some searches but most topics are over a year old, basically I'm wanting to know a rough price guide to know I'm not getting ripped off (price is $22,000), and whether the car is going to be wasted on me?

I know they're semi-collectable with only 1300 made, but for the purpose i want it for i feel like i wouldn't be treating it well, i'd be driving it a lot, and taking it to the track regularly, definitely going to get a few mods too, am I better off with a regular GTR?

In short,...

If it's a goodie, grab it - but don't forget to bargain.

Condition is reasonable? ie less than good? ie much less than really good? $22K is for excellent cond with low kms & history!

Check the speedo attachment to the cluster - been scratched/doctored? Odo numbers should only be out of alignment when you get close to a bunch of "...999"

For $22k, and if you're not looking for an "original keeper" I'd def think twice.

For around that money or a couple of grand more, you can get some pretty decent 32's with decent mods already done.

It all depends on what you want.

If its a nice car, you want to keep stock(ish) yes it might be a good buy.

If you want a GTR to punish a little/mod etc etc, you can probably get a bit more for your money if you go a run of the mil 32 GTR.

Was this at Japlink? sounds like the one I saw today. Was it marked at $28k but they said they'd sell it for $22k?

makes me think they're a bit desperate... if its the same car? I'd guess they'll accept less.

I did look at the speedo also, I'm not sure how far out of alignment it should be before its considered "wound back"

When I drove home, I looked at the speedo in my humble honda civic, and it had very similar slight misalignment, and

it's certainly never been wound back.

I'm glad new cars now have LCD odometers to help put an end to this dodgy practice.

The car is totally stock, which is what appeals to me and my grandpa like intentions for the car.

Lulz, LCD's can be fixed, is just not a manual fix.

Easiest method is buying a new cluster, you can do it in the fords I know of a guy who lives near me that did it.

I could never imagine doing it though, pretty deceitful.

I'm also in the market but I haven't found one that's caught my eye yet. I think you'll find that alot of the owners will put it up for a price much more than it's worth simply because it's a GTR and they know someone will buy it eventually. I've seen 33 GTR's for 35k with torn seats + footwells, high k's etc.

Yeah I don't think I'm going to go for it. No use wasting a good vspec II on someone like me who'll take it to the track all the time.

The car is rough anyway, it leaks and has damage underneath.
