Beware - R34 Gtr For Sale In Sydney

[Redline_GTR]

Ginza

Really?! Wow. And they're close to Xtreme Motorsports. Well it's not the first on Parramatta Road and probably wont be the last either.

[R31Nismoid]

I was in Sydney on the weekend and hadn't yet read this thread, long story short had a look at couple of private seller cars which I passed on.

While in town had some time to kill so got on trusty old google and found all of these Import dealers along Parramatta road... One even had "Sydney's Most Trusted and Respected Import Car Dealership!" plastered all over their website hahaha.

Sat in the R34 S1 on Sunday and the salesman went on to explain how its not one of the 200 built and that the previous owner had bought the car stock then when to Nismo in japan to have the goods fitted, to be honest looks like a nice car however I doubt very highly the validity of the Km's and the asking price seems ridiculous vs the quality of the car. The Interior was not from a "very well looked after" 47xxxKm car, steering wheel is covered in scratches, seat bolsters weren't worn through but they did seam a little age softened, the front bar lip has a crack in the drivers side plus the usual scrapes, the window and boot seals appear sun damaged, and the paint work seemed to have had a pretty poor cut and polish.

I am on expert by any stretch but after reading this and seeing what I have best to just keep squirrelling away money until the right one comes along, whilst collecting as much advice and knowledge possible along the way.

Have a chat with Aaron from Import Monster or Kristian from Iron Chef - you simply cannot go wrong with these blokes and they have the best rep in the community

I was in Sydney on the weekend and I swear I saw Ginza in a new lot not far from Xtreme

A phoenix job?

I'll ask now about new owners perhaps.

The brothers ET and JT seem to be trying to corner the market along P'matta Rd and beyond.

I'm led to believe that they own two businesses side by side - presenting themselves as being separate. Good ploy?

[Import Monster]

or they don't even trust each other enough to be in business together...

MCM is such a joke of a show, I used to watch it, but it's so full of crap now it isn't entertaining. Both hosts annoy the shit out of me, and all they seem capable of doing is crappy bolt on mods, or taking cars to mechanics to get done up. That 'moog' bloke talks so much rubbish too. Errghh don't get me started..

MCM's been using Ed Lees for ages. I think they brought Moog's S15 in through them

I actually went down last weekend to check out the Purple GTR. The car wasn't in the yard as according to Phil, it was down the panel beaters getting a touch up as he is a "perfectionist". He was quite persistent about me leaving a 100% refundable deposit, all subject to my viewing of the car. Of course, i am not an idiot and refused until i saw the car and did my own checks on it.

Lucky i did or i wouldn't have come across this thread! What an interesting read it has been so far. I have always been weary of Edward Lee's. Been watching his market for a few years and have always had my suspicions.

I paid for an ODO check on the car. Just received the report. It is currently in Japanese and will upload the translated version of it when i get it. But there is enough information there to prove his is happy to con people out of 49K!

$49K is a 'bargain'!

Regardless of how many 100s of Kms it's travelled, fatz could part it out for at least $50K

Lie straight in bed tonight Phil

[Cherry Racer]

You can probably lie next to him for the right amount of $$$$$$$

Yes, they can even scrutinise which "R" cars have had head-ons and suffered more than just cosmetic panel replacement.

Exactly; which is why I kept my GT-R instead of trying to flog it off. I know it will have to go for cheap, already dropped too much money into it and don't want to go cheaper than $15k for it, even though it's not worth that much in the current market.

[fatz]

what you need now ravi is a t04z kit

[Iron Chef]

Just to update this one, the new owner of the original car in question has been in touch, and is now planning to take SAG to court over it.

[BuuBox]

Glad to hear.

This sort of blatant rubbish has to stop at some point.
