Yer there is definitely no doubt about them becoming quite rare. I have a broker that I am using (Iron Chef imports) they send me cars regularly but all from auction and around 9/10 the cars that go through auction are either grade 3 or R. I guess your right about the good ones being picked up and the left overs going to auction in that case then.
Reason for the thread is that I have located a local car which is fairly clean and am thinking about purchasing it or just continuing to look.
In reply to the other post looking at the auctions it seams that above average non rusty GTR's are going for around 600,000JPY-700,000JPY. I am willing to pay around 1,200,000-1,300,000 Maximum which I think is very reasonable.
I have started to consider the R33 models also, being alot less faults and being around a similar price although I have similar troubles to the R32 in locating a clean one.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
