cars for sale

[mcmn]

no offensive but why is mid 20s as cheap as they will get, considering at the moment i could import one myself for maximum of 20-22K, through an importer

There is no final decision in regards to the 15 year rule, and as such people can continue to import 89 cars.

Well Said jake32..

Well said!

The cost of buying GTR's (decent) has gone up in Japan, and looking at the stock from the currently available list- I wouldn't touch em'.

You cant beat the piece of mind of taking the car for atest drive yourself before you go blow 4 years of debt! I am with Jake32 on this. If you honestly think you will get lucky and import a car that is everything you want to save $2-3K then do it! Take the Risk. I am fairly confident that if the car is any good, at the end of the day you will be pushing close to $25K anyway!.

Good luck- I am outa here

Jake gave a very good description of why. Supply is short, good quality 89 GT-Rs are getting harder and harder to find, and it may be the case that 90+ cars will be forced through SEVS which will cost *at least* an additional $3-4k and maybe more (as you can only bring in good stock examples, so they will become even more sought after).

Plus they are close to a collectors item/classic I think....

so if you imported one yourself for 20-22k .... paid the cash upfront waited the time ..did all the bullsh*t rwc etc...how much would you sell it for ????

about mid 20`s you would reckon

[mcmn]

fair point..

The above situation is identical to most other services / situations in the car industry..you pay for convenience.

Take FMIC piping for example.

I work in an industry where we deal with steel sections all day long, and the price of better quality piping than FMIC piping is about $50 worth in the kit. To get someone to cut it and bend it in a workshop ~ $100.

But you're paying for the convience ... are you going to cut it & measure it & bend it yourself for a total of ~ $150 - or pay $500+ for a ready to go kit?

Same as imports..in the end, everyone's trying to get paid, and ignorance / laziness is what sets the bar...

As one of the Pioneering '89 importers (I bought my car back in June last year and imported it January this year!) I can honestly say it was a long, expensive and stressfull process. Yes, it cost more than expected, but being one of the 'First' buyers of '89 GTR's I was able to select a damn good example.

Anyone who thinks that paying mid 20's for a good '89 GTR is too much, I say DO IT YOURSELF THEN! - one you have gone through all the sh*t, then tell me that you would not want a decent price for that car!

I whave been in later model GTR's and they are not in as good a nick as my car!

I did consider buying one locally, but you still don't know how 'good' it is - and to get a good car locally prepair to pay early to mid 30's. Yes there are cheaper out there - I will leave you to take the the risk old saying - you get what you pay for....

[jake32]

for all the guys that don`t want to pay mid 20`s for a car they can inspect.drive etc...check out this ripper ...bargin

then have a look at the auction sheet attached for this sh*tbox(the real story) :accident grade ,5 panels replaced including rhr qtr ,core support changed,inner guard repair,roof and both door repaired,has had full repaint and needs more ,mileage unknown..a dog basically @$18600+++

[lwells]

jake32: ouch, that's a faily hideous example there. :throwup:

I have always said that budgeting $25k is appropriate. Even if the car lands here for a bit less, you still need some slack for things like clutches, brake pads, oil changes, other consumables, and that's assuming that everything is mechanically A-OK.

Yeah I did too .. muthaf*cka acting like we posted a f*cking virus on here.

[mcmn]

yeah i did aswell, bit of a joke really.

[aybee]

i did too.

its a good point about having to pay then wait and fark around with it.

i guess that i just dont like to read when people advertise an 89 gtr as being really cheap at 26-28k, when the post below it is a 94 gtr for similar price.

[Neil]

Hey if you guys wanna post in the "Sale Section" then read the bloody rules. Quite simple.
