Help needed - buying skyline

[LAMBA_]

Hi Guys!

Ok i've finally saved up enough $$$ to buy a car......with only one car in mind....a r33 skyline. I've had a look at one and i thought i'd run it past you guys first just to make sure its a good deal because i dont know much about skylines.

Here are the specs:

1993 R33 4 door

Gun Metal Grey

Non turbo

T bar Auto

160,000 kms

Air conditioner doesnt blow cold air...i've been told a $40 regass will fix this?

16 inch nissan rims ( 1 back tyre needs replacing.....weird i would of thought both back tyres would be bald at the same time?!?)

upgraded twin muffler exhaust

The interior is pretty good apart from a ciggie burns on the drivers seat

The body work is in good condition apart from a small dent on the passenger door

The price i have been quoted is $21,999. To afford this I will have to get together a few extra grand, what do you guys think so far?

let me know

Lamba

Don't buy it. That sounds like absolute crap for that money.

[JaseR]

That sounds like a bit of a RIP - you can get a Series 2 manual Turbo for that kind of money.

[meggala]

dont buy it

that car is worth 11-13k

may be less

[meggala]

why not this one

The guy did mention that the range grondid just got replaced, and that this is a common part to fail on skylines from the early 90's, and costs roughly $3000 to fix.

Non turbo 4 door auto?

i wouldnt pay 12k for that

Those things are lemons of the skyline world in terms of resale potential/demand

the car specs u listed and the price the guy is asking is way overpriced...

You could pick a 93 non turbo auto 4 door up for 12k to 15k depending on mods

however the one u listed is AUTO and NON TURBO FOUR DOOR...

Heres a general price guide obvously depending on condition and mods etc etc:

1993 - 1995 series 1 4 door non turbo auto = 11k to 14k max

1993 - 1995 series 1 4 door turbo auto = 12k to 16k max

1993 - 1995 series 1 4 door turbo manual = 14k to 18k

1993 to 1995 series 1 2 door turbo manual = 14k to 20k+ (mods)

Mate u are getting ripped hard!!!! I got my skyline for 24 and it was wored and only done about 3000km from engine rebuild (not fake km either) i suggest u have a look at this forum and have a read of it got some really good advise on buying a skyline... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=35129

keep looking around man till you find something a bit cheaper or with a bit of good work done on it and in a good clean condition...

[mash]

Same here dont buy. I got a r33 auto non-turbo two door in excellent condition, and i would not dream of selling it for more than 14 k.

[doxximus]

i got my car for $14000 n/a manual 2 door.

so as everyone else has said, dont buy!

and check the link that the good man meggala has posted, think about it, $15000 on the car, and $5000 for everything else (mods, insurence etc)

[sammus]

good idea asking here first lamba...

[krzysiu]

Damn if you buy it from him he is going to make about 10k more than the car is actually worth

Tell him he is dreaming and DONT BUY IT

[d1-monkeh-]

go tell the owner to **** his N/A piece of shit.

rip off ****ing ****.

[foznice]

1 trye may need replacing because he could have blown one and replaced it for a better one.

[SS8_Gohan]

SRV is a god!!!

ok that aside, that is the biggest rip ever. Is this a private sale, import yard?? If this is a business asking that much, if they are dodgy enough to put that price on, i don't know if you could trust anything else they have.

please stay away from the car unless he wants to chop $10K off the price

cheers

[foznice]

OMG!!! i've been waiting for someone to notice that!!!! yeah stevie's my god... im gonna have this big 'fender' sticker on the back windscreen of my line.. shall be awsome..

oh yeah... um er .... the 33's a rip dont buy it....
