God damn thats lush.

I wish I could get 40k together in time before the auction closes.. I would take one of these over an r33 gtr any day. :)

WOW! That is beatiful. It's as close as you could get to buying a brand new R32 GTR. 12000ks, full service history, one owner. That my friends is a collectors car. If I hadn't just bought a 32GTR I would stretch the budget to buy that for sure. WOW!

looks all good except the semi rusty brake rotors...

thats not a problem. just shows that the car hasnt been driven for a while. happens to all cars that sit around.

its good to get a car with that low ks but i dunno about 40,000. maybe if the ks were that low on a 93 or 94 but not an 89...

got mine for $14k with 50k on it..  

same spec..

It's not about the km's, its about the CONDITION of the car. If you think your car is anything close to that for 14k, Your dreaming.

Aybee: its 12,000kms. I would take this over an 93-94 model i've ever seen on the auctions my friend :)

I spent similar money for a 100,000 kay logged aus delivered stock 91 GTR. Mine is in pretty much perfect condition.

I would, if I hadn't bought my car yet, probably gone for one like this - looks great.

Only one question - why is the engine bay painted black? Were all 32Rs engine bays black?

yeah theres just a stigma with selling older cars.

like mine, its faster than lots of cars around, but cause its a 32 no-one wants to buy it. cause this is a 89, there would be less people inclined to pay 40k for it, no matter what condition. to many people a perfect 89 is not worth 15k more than an excellent 89, or even a 93,etc.

There is no doubt its an outstanding example: buy it, garage it, count the concourse trophies.

However, I personally would not buy that car for $40K. Why? Well, I think I would be afraid to drive it: I wouldn't want to add milage, have it affected by wear and tear, or god forbid, be scratched, keyed, bumped, crashed into, etc. What's the point of a "driver's car" -- which is what a GT-R is all about -- if you can't or won't drive it?

Moreover, when it comes to buying cars, a car that is used regularly and well maintained is often a better buy: cars that sit for long periods have a whole other set of problems compared to your average car.

Stirlo_GTR: lol -- are you seriously comparing you $15k GT-R to this?

Garage queen.

This is much more common in Ferrari land where you might see a 30 year old car with 5,000km on the dial and still with the original spark plugs, tyres etc.

While this sort of car makes me wanna sit down, look at those lovely pictures and have a drink, the reality is that Hiroshi Hasegawa like Enzo Ferrari, wanted these cars to be driven, driven hard and even abused.

Are there even concourse events for Japanese cars?

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
