Yeah, looks extremely dodgy :\

Didn't pick up on the bonnet :\ Don't think it looks too bad though ...

But yeah.. +1 to bells ringing.

Eh, just want to make sure it's worth what i pay. I'm happy buying a crappier car, I'm pretty handy with fixing things and can get parts cheap

Have a look how worn the interior is. I'd say it was probably 186,000 and wound back heavily.

You'd spend $500 on pre-inspections (body/panels & motor) only to find out it's probably fked. 12k gets you a car that needs 10k of work to get to something you'd buy for 18-20k

I actually bought a car from them years ago, an R32 gts4. I recognised the backyard lol. Not sure if its him or the brother, but yeh they used to import them in and sell them from the old Performance Jap in Campbellfield. I didnt have any issues with the car, but that was about 5 years ago.

From just looking at the pictures I wouldn't touch it

Indeed. I would steer clear of this. Who wants a clapped out 32 GTR anyway... pfft. You would end up spending twice the asking price on fixing shit. Save yourself the money and get something better.

Maybe its 12K because everyone is put off by his backyard. Dont judge the book by its cover, for all we know, it could be a good car.

Go over there, check it out and bring some experts with you that know what to look for. One way to really find out. After all, you are not buying the backyard!

[Cowboy1600]

Jesus, is that where imports go to die? Look at all that shit in the background!

First thing I picked was the GTS bonnet - very sus. No fekin' way I'd touch it, at least without not having had the chance to spend two hours going over it.

That said, if you decide you are hell bent on it, I'll go take a look for you.

It would have to have been in an accident for it too have the gts-t bonnet

But when you put a GTR bonnet on a gts-t don't you need to change the bonnet hinges?

If so you be yo for a bit to buy fit and paint the correct bonnet

[iseekool]

I'd stay clear IMO. The whole car looks very average.

Unless you are buying as a base for a track hack....

This, go look at the car if you're interested. I don't doubt it's a pile of crap going by the price alone, but I also doubt the psychic abilities of SAU members to use pictures and read deep into the psychology of the nuff who took them. In the end, if it drives good, checks out mechanically/electrically/VIN and is priced at what you're willing to spend - who cares if the guy didn't pose it in an empty car park or against a graffiti wall?

lol find me an import that hasn't been in an accident. These cars are worth 1/3 of their RRP 3 years after being sold for new...and 90% of them are treated as such.

That's true, 3 out of the 4 imports I've had, have had some form of accident one was really big, regardless of wheel alignments and balances, it never drove perfectly straight

I'd just be concerned about that GTR cause is been repaired cheaply if they couldn't even get the correct bonnet
