Hello
Been lurking this forum for a few months now, seems to be a wealth of info in regards of these cars which has been helpful.
As the title says I'm about to purchase a Skyline 350GT (if all goes to plan) pick it up this coming Friday and can't wait! Bit about me I recently came back from living in London for 5 years, got a job in Sydney and whilst I live pretty close to work I realised I needed a car. Have only owned 2 previous cars beforehand - 1984 Holden Astra (lol) and then upgraded to a new Lexus IS200 back in 2003. Loved the Lexus but now wanted something a little sporty and with a bit of grunt. Had a budget of $15-20,000 and carsales kept on coming up with these cars.
Whilst I kept on test driving other cars nothing really grabbed me. The second hand car market in Oz is woeful, Euro's here are so overpriced its not funny and could only find ones that had their day. Hyundia's and kia's were boring and Toyota's.... don't even go there. So I found one in Brissie, got a glowing RACQ report and have purchased it. Go back up this Friday and should be a fun drive down.
Thanks for reading my boring story haha
Its only a grey auto model so it won't wow anyone here but damn these cars are attractive and I think value for money.
One question though, anyone know of a decent mechanic who services these cars in the north shore area?
