R32 GTR prices - WHAT?!

[Minko]

Just thought I might buy another GT-R after a 10 year hiatus building career and not touching cars after I sold my GT-R in 2007 for 26K?.  These numbers are insane, while I now have financial security I doubt I can convince myself to part with double the money for something similar.  Perhaps a 33 or 34 GT-R is an option instead if they haven't gone bananas as well    

There used to be 40+ 32 GT-Rs for sale in QLD, now its about 5 on carsales.  Are we really exporting all these to the yanks similar to Japan once was to us back in my day? or are they being crashed or hoarded since I last looked?

A lot of the ones on car sales have been there for a fair while so either they r shit and over priced or people are not prepared to pay the prices

Edward Lees cars with dodgy history have to resurface somewhere sometime.

R34s are worse than R33s in terms of price jumps. R33s are climbing as well, but better to buy a 33 IMO.

Have never liked the 33's but the numbers are starting to win me over.  No R32's worth looking at under $35,000, but there seems to still be a few good deals for 20-30K for R33 GTR's.  Surely you cant go too wrong with a well picked 33 especially when they start being imported to the USA in a few years.

R33 chassis is better than the R32. You can see the improved structural and aero bits. In hindsight, I should've waited a year and bought an R33 GT-R lol.

$145k? I realise that it is worth whatever someone wants to pay but are prices really getting that high?

You would be in the minority to pick an R33 GTR over an R32 GTR..

Re Chassis:- Kurosawa explained this quite clearly as he compared the R32 GT-R to the R33 GT-R prior to taking the latter around Nurburgring in 8'01". 

The R32 GT-R could never get close to that.

I'd be lying if I said that thought hadn't crossed my mind too......I'm just in the same boat (excuse the pun  ) as most other 32/34 fans, the 33 has never done it for me, only the series 3 midnight purple gets the juices flowing somewhat...

[GH05T]

i like a good 33gtr, but when the price of mine was 20k and a 33 was 20k..... always the 32 for me,

but now you get a normal 32 for 35k and 30k gets you a 500kw clean r33........

In terms of looks, nostalgia etc, R32 always. But the R33 is a better engineered car (since they had time to improve on things). If only it wasn't so bloated looking

Plus, the R32 electronics shit me lol damn HICAS.

In terms of looks that's completely up to the individuals personal taste. 

whats nostalgia to someone born after 1989

Just shed up your 32s bois. Soon they'll be targeted and freighted to the states.

Just like gone in 60 seconds.

I thought the 32's were already targeted by the states.

R33 GT-Rs are perfect looking in front of a convex mirror!

Yeah sorry, that's what I meant, not chassis engineering
