So in my quest to find a very tidy GTR for the right price, I found a 1994 model r32 for 30k that seemed to fit the idea.
It was advertised as stock standard and in very good condition.
Not only that but it had a super low 30,000kms on the odometer which seemed unbelievable.
How could I go wrong? I went over to this guys place and out the front sat my ultimate r32 GTR.. white, low, gorgeous.. sitting there waiting for me to buy it.
The seller comes out the front, and informs me the car i'm buying is in his garage.
So I treck into the garage, and although the paintwork was quite good, the front grill was lying on the floor, exhaust parts where lying on the floor, the interior was terrible.. it had holes in the vinyl, cracks in the plastic around the gearshift, rusty rear vision mirror, cigarette burns in the worn seats.. I've never seen gearshift/handbrake boots so worn on an r32... the list goes on.
The car looked like it had done 300,000kms.
I asked about the one out the front and he told me that he bought both and he's keeping the one out the front. It struck me immediately that the car I was buying was nothing more than a parts car.. all the decent stuff had been swapped and placed on the other car. They where both the same body colour, same year..
I've never seen a GTR in such bad condition. DODGY!
What a huge insult on my intelligence. I got out of there faster than a man hating lesbian at a football game.
What pissed me off the most was I asked the guy to confirm the condition of the car over the phone and he told me it would be best to come out and see the car for myself.
What a huge waste of time and a dissapointment.
