Hello everyone, I'm new here! I haven't had much to do with skylines, but I've always loved them. I've been driving and modding fords since I got my license about a year and a half ago.
Anyway, long story short, I want to have a change and go to a skyline.
I saw an R33 GT at a dealership about half an hour away from my house yesterday and I noticed it had no cooler on the front (I'm a p plater so if I buy, it has to be N/A ) anyway, I went in there today and asked about it. Here are the details (they are limited)
130,000 KM (supposedly)
5 speed
RWD gt (no way do I want an AWD natro)
17's with new rubber
Good paint work
Supposedly new gearbox
Five stud conversion
and here's the tempting part.....
Price: $5000....
My jaw dropped because every other N/A 33 I seem to come across is 7+ continuing up to and over 9 grand.
I asked why it was so low and he said that he couldn't move it. I said to him would he take my AU falcon as a trade and he said he'd give me 3 grand for it. Leaving me to find the next 3 grand or so (2 grand for the car, the rest for a bit of maintenance, reg and insurance)
Here's the tricky part... I asked him what it needed for a RWC, he said that it needed rear pads and the speedo hooked up because it had a new gearbox put into it. This leads me to believe that the KM's could be wrong. Apparently his son owned it, so I have no idea how many KM has been put on it since the new box, or even if it's a different dash cluster with the 130,000 on it.
The other thing is, it has a deposit already (but the area is quite a low socio economic area, I have my fingers crossed the deal will fall through, or he was just baiting me to get me really interested).
So what do you guys think? I snapped a couple of pics of it....
Any oppinions would be appreciated (I know I probably won't get this car, but I also know I won't rest until I have one, so any advice will be taken on board). I thought this was a pretty good deal, almost too good to be true?
Cheers,
Kawasakirider.
