Thinking Of Buying A Stagea

[kurtis888]

Hey guys and girls.

I'm new here and own a 97' R33 Gts-t.

The Missus wants us to have a more family car, so what better then a Stagea!.

I know its hard to judge and tell just but the carsales add, but if i could get some opinions on this one i would much appreciate it

im pretty new to the Stagea world, so all the help i can get would be awesome.

Thanks, Kurt

If I told my wife I was buying a yellow station wagon, she would probably laugh in my face.

Just sayin'.

If you want to use it for multiple passengers, make sure to try out the rear seat leg room. Theyre fine for children but otherwise the seats are quite high and the legroom is cramped.

had the 100k service = fake kms

i would say its been in an accident too, if you get it checked out professionally with warranty could be ok, still a little expensive

edit - the passenger head light looks fogged up also

could you be more specific about what u want to know??

[kurtis888]

it does say it has a 12 month Australia wide warranty.

I'm not a huge fan of the yellow, but there are only about 10 for sale around me

[kurtis888]

i basically want a "family" car that still has that "skyline" feel to it

totally agree its definately had the front end resprayed and the clock is wound back. its over priced to hell for an auto.

well if thats what your looking for, thats what u'll get with a stagea. or even a 4 door skyline.

[kurtis888]

damn, getting turned of it now you think there fake kms and had a hit

[Raysboostin]

i think this is a better candidate if you have you heart set on yellow.

fairly obvious actually. the clock says 75,000 but it still has the japanese 100,000km service sticker on the airbox. obviously to stupid to peel it off. the paint forward of the front doors looks fresher than the rest and the rad is skewed on the mounts. which is a great indicator of a front hit.

my hearts not set on yellow at all, lol...would probably prefer non yellow.

that one uis alot better but its in another state

[kurtis888]

Hmm, this one is actually closer to where i live...had someone tell me once though not to go past 99' models anything later are not as good??

give the "purchasing a stagea" thread a really good read mate. then make sure every car u look at is thoroughly checked over. and the best advice you will recieve about the stagea section is to use the search function ALOT all your questions will have been answered time and time again.

[BigBoyDan]

Hard to tell without looking closer but:
