V35 QUESTIONS!!!!

[V35 Lover]

Hey guys, thinking about buying this car- https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-view-details.html?adId=1161205104

I need your thoughts on it,  I have been surfing this forum and most of the v35 threads are 7 years old. So looking at the 2003 Nissan Skyline v35 do you think it is worth buying this vehicle. If so why? I need to know what is the petrol tank capacity, what octane fuel to put in and how long will the car last with urban driving on a single tank. Also I need to know if the car is expensive too maintain seeing that it is 14 years old. What i mean by this is that is it expensive to service, fix broken parts etc etc. I also need to know if it is worth selling my 2010 Subaru Impreza RS Hatch 5sp manual to buy this car?!?!?? PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Hmmm, so there has been >700 views of that car, IMO it looks ok,  black roof (?), and yet it is still on the market? They haven't owned it for long either, perhaps mum is arcing up? I own the same model and have had it for the last 4 yrs. I am getting a bit ancient in the scheme of things, and feel fortunate that although I have owned and driven numerous different vehicles  over a long period, this has given me the opportunity to drive something I consider decent.  This being especially so, considering the price range it can be purchased in.

I run the car on 98 octane, seems that is what is advised. The fuel tank is not large, only 60  - 70 (?) litres. Depends where and how you drive the car as to how much fuel is used. I only do trips in my car and consider it to be very fuel efficient.

Parts ? Yeah, so these are grey imports. If you need panels, that could be an issue if cost was a concern. There are likely a few appearing in wreckers yards these days. Think there is a thread that lists all the common bits between other similar cars - 350z and maxima. I  am concerned what I might find if and when I need a replacement windscreen. I do my own servicing, so no issues there. Is a great motor, pulls well,  and strong trans.

How well this particular car stacks up, is for you to decide.  If it be sound and genuine,  and you want that style of car, it would be hard to do better.

Do you think it is worth selling my Subaru to buy this car? Also do you think the car is worth what it is selling for?

Why do we need to convince you to buy a new car?
Why do we need to convince you to sell your current car?

I think you need to write down a list of things you are using your car for, then compare information (from google) on each car. THEN Google SAU threads about the V35's parts availability and maintenance requirements. Most threads are 7 years old because the information is usually still relevant.

All V35s have 80L tanks according to the official Nissan documentation.
