Buying A Gt-R With No Rwc

[Whiteyy]

So looking around carsales and these forums it seems that not many people are prepared to sell their car with a RWC, or want a ridiculous markup to have one included in the sale. What things typically need fixing at RWC time? What sort of mods will have a hard time passing? How can I bargain a RWC into the deal?

Too low, too loud, pods/fmic (state dependant), coil overs, Rims, Gauges, Electronic stuff not hidden - and everything a daily gets picked for - oil leaks, steering components etc..

Most everyone modifies their GTR's. So once you get it registered you hope you don't have to do it again. and of course RTA are tuff on imports.

Good GTR's cost good money for a reason

Really depends how mechanically inclined you are, a lot of things will be plain obvious (tyres, brakes, height), some won't (hidden rust, stuffed suspension components) etc etc, the list goes on:

It all depends on your capability to go over the car thoroughly before making a decision on whether or not you'd like a RWC to be included. Keep in mind that many sellers do not have the time to get one done, so accept that, but also be wary of any shady sellers who may be trying to palm off the car without a RWC because the thing's rooted.
