What skyline to blow 20g on?

[Mandingo]

g'day people as the topic says my old lady wants a skyline (ive taught her well) and shes got about 20 grand max to get one. what would be better, looking for an R32 GTST with some mods, or a stock R33 if I can find one for that price, i was looking on prestige motorsport and have seen some R32 GTR's goin for under 20 as well. what would you guys reccomend?

Thanks for the help.

Personal preference between R32 or R33. You can afford both.

Don't go near an R32 GTR with a budget of $20,000 though.

yeah i was a bit wary of the GTRs that were 20 ish.

I just bought a really nice dead stock '95 R33 for ~$18K, plus about $1300 to tidy it up. It feels young & strong - I expect to get a few low maintenance years out of it.

So I'd vote for a stock(ish) R33!

mine?

i'm negotiable

If your importing you'll need to really drop from 20 grand down to 15 to 17 grand for the car you need an extra $2000 roughly for tyres and ORC as well.

20k is more then enough for even an R33 with basic mods (exhaust, pod, rims)

shop around in the for sale section

get a clean 32...

stay away from any 20k Gtrs i rekon.

well unless its actually a good buy from in australia and you can test drive first

from the sunny coast to the cold coast there has to be at least 100 car yards that would have good examples r32s' and r33s' for less than 20K. just around the corner from me here on the goldie there's three yards with some nice r33s (exhaust's rims fmic) minor improvements all for under 20K

I'm selling my car right in your price range. Has everything you need and realistic KM's.

Wow, thanks jolinator. dont think my car is really appropriate for a mum though maybe you could buy it for yourself...

i think a stock series 2 33 would be good for your needs.

[martydaman]

bah... 32 GTR's are being sold by jspec and prestiege for as low as $15,000 but i wouldnt touch one (all pretty bad condition), id say go the 33... newer and easy to get locally and still has heaps of potential. 32's are good and 20 could get you something very nice but i personally would rather a stockish 33 to a reasonably moddded 32 anyway. But it is my opinion so you might not agree.

I fail to see what would make any car "not appropriate for a mum"

oh wait, i forgot, women can't drive anything with over 45kw

get her an R33 GTS4 4 Door... has the stability of 4WD and 4 doors to cart people around, still has that sporty look and will cost ya a lil less than a 2 door coupe.
