$budget $3k insurance

rego in VIC is like $400-$500 dont know bout QLD

tyres, depends on rims, and quality of tyres....

fuel, $50 -$100 a week, depends how much you drive, how hard etc...

factor in loan repayments

need money for general maintenance and also for problems....

mods if you want any.

stereo equip, alarm equip etc

yeah thats kinda why im gonna buy it out right, so i dont have to worry about repayments, and as for driving it, 50 bucks a week on fuel should do it, its mostly round town driving, plus i dont like being in debt...gives ya the feeling.....tah bad one

save up another 5 K and your laughing. plenty of spare parts for r32... and im sure u can afofrd the fuel!

gluck!

yeah ive got the 10 grand now because of the selling commy, so u reckon that 10 grand isnt a bad price for a 91 GTS-t R32?

i dunno id prolly save up till about 12-13K for r32, maybe a couple of more just to get one of the best examples. but hunt around and bargain, im sure you can find one for 13 K and bring it down to 12 or even lower... if ur thinking of buying soon then i suggest start scouring the net and local car yards.

also with any rather used cars, you should always have a few grand lying around just incase things go wrong (new brakes, new fuel pump etc). this was you protect yourself from any bullshit that your RACV dude failed to spot when buying the car.

so in the end put aside 12-13 K for the car, 2-3 K for the insurance and rego, and another 2 K for any bullshit u might run into in the first few months. so really it gets pricey down the track but you already knew that.

so which is the better way to go do you think? I know you can definatly pick one up private sale for 9 grand with a RWC, i havent looked at the dealers yet, i'm kinda in the crap-end of no where, so dealers arent everywhere.....

i doubt many dealers will have r32s... GTRs yeah but GTSTs... try those import based dealers.

PS this site has a shitload of r32s for sale.

:):):P WHERE WHERE WHERE.....lol sorry bro...im new to this site, but hell yeah ill have a look

just to let you know. I'm 18 and have had one at fault claim (write off) one speeding fine and it costs me $3400 to insure my R33. I dont have many things to pay for and I'm an apprentice mechanic so if anything goes wrong its f**k all to fix really. Just have to pay for parts :)

with performance cars, there is often no 'part time driver' policies.

It is based on the youngest driver ie. YOU!, so that these things can't be dodged. I got a quote for both me as only driver, and as youngest driver, and it was the exact same amount

yeah i know......i was just seeing if there was any possible loop hole in the system....simply because i cannot afford the comprehensive option, but its clear im gonna have to go CTP, i guess sometimes you gotta sacrifice some things to have something you like.... :D

wow....$3400 is quite alot of money for a years insurance.....i figure because of the write off claim and the speeding ticket would have affected this big time?

Mate if you think that its too dear then do this: get a third party (fire and theft) cover which is around a few hundred bucks. Then get that $3000, put it in the bank, get the car, drive around as careful as can be, dont floor it like a knob and drive like a granny when in the wet. Next year put another 3 grand into the bank and hopefully you havent had any accidents and you already will have 6 grand to spend in case you had a bad accident, the year after put like another 2 grand aside and by then you would of prolly saved up enough cash for yourself to repair it.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
