    Stamp Duty

    in R35 GTR

    Posted · Edited by vspecR

    I wish there is some way around this, I guess I can only ask the seller for a favour when writing the price. How low do you think i can write the market value without it being questioned? also, for a 110k car we have to pay 7.1k in stamp duty in WA where as in NSW you guys pay 4.6k..why is there such a big difference

    Yeah over in WA it's 6.5% for anything over 50k. They have the market value and the purchase value on the transfer paper and the stamp duty is based on the market value you write.

    Hi all,

    Just wondering if people generally write the actual amount on the transfer papers when they buy their R35s. From the department of transfer website, the stamp duty for a 110k is over 7k..which is rediculous considering how much we get taxed for everything else as well. I know only it's part of the cost of buying such an expensive car but how can you reduce this cost. Do you just write a lower price on the transfer papers? if so, and the seller agrees to write it, how low should i put it on the transfer paper. Has anyone ever be caught out doing this?

    Cheers

    This Section Is A Little Slow - Anything New?

    haha thats gives me a bit of hope!

    there are good exmaples here in aus but the asking price is a bit riduculous with some. Another funny thing is, looking through 2010 sales, GTR acutally went for a lot less than what people are asking now??? it's like a the sellers are 'just going with the crowd' interms of their asking price. how can the average asking price of GTR r34 go up by roughly 5k asking price in a matter of 6 months. there was only 1 reasonable one that i like, but that one's colour had to be at the bottom of my list dammit.

    i just cant wait til i finally get one in my hands. been dreaming of having one since i was like 14 lol

    Auction Sites

    hey guys,

    Just starting the importing process (still searching). i have read in other threads where people found links on auction sites. but most of those links have now died and i cant read japanese, so i cant figure out how to go back to the main site lol.

    i want to browse those sites just incase my broker/agent has missed out on anything that i could be potentially interested in.

    anyways, currently looking at a GTR R34 vspec or vspecII(if im lucky), for 50k or under landed and on road.

    any help would be appreciated.

    cheers

    R34 Gtr - To Buy Built Or Standard?

    in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)

    ahhhh dilemma

    i didnt want to say it, but the built ive negotiated to 35k....for R34 GTR vspec... i know most would say its lemon just based on the price. but i genuinely believe the owner is only selling it cheap due to paint work and is in debt

    its hard to let this bargain(if the engine is quality build) go!

    Touge- i like your suggestion, i will be lookin into that option. perhaps i can drive the built one how it is now (leave it at stock power) and look at refreshing it when im chasing more power. something around 350-380kw

    and i agree, the standard one's engine is a 10yr old + engine, i dont know exactly what its gone through either.

    Standard one was built because previous owner overboosted it, not sure the detials, but that was the reason

    The built one's owner builder can tell me bits and peice of the details. i have the list of parts used, but like i said, im worried about the builder's work, not the parts

    ahhh so hard to decide lol. The built one also has my preferred colour, and its Vspec

    what could i possibly do to make sure the engine is fine?

    cheers

    Hi guys,

    Im in the position to buy a GTR r34 at the moment and I've found two that a reasonably priced and are in my price range. ill give you a little bit of infomation about each

    The built one

    1999 GTR Vspec

    - 60,000Kms on the clock

    - its been built with forged pistons and rods, but running factory ECU and turbo ( it was rebuilt cos motor was blown), the builder is just a local mechanic in a small town with very little experience with RB's

    - the owner doesnt seem to know much about this car, or anything about the build. (typical excuse if there is something wrong with the car, pretend like u know nothing)

    - car has a big dent on the front bar, and keyed on the side (requires about 2-3k paint work)

    - has a few light mods like boost controller, exhaust, coilovers

    - in the small town i dont even know if they have RON 98 lol

    The standard one

    - 1999 Non-vspec

    -non built engine

    - completely standrad with 50,000Km on the clock

    - good condition, i know the import broker that imported the car from japan, so i know the rough history

    now the standard one $7000 MORE expensive than a built one

    my question is which one would you take? i know buying a built one that is built by a non experience mechanic is a gamble. but the price different is BIG.

    my mechanic said he would take a standard GTR r34 over a built one anyday simply because he doesnt know how much attention was put into the built and you dont know if they did anything wrong until it goes bang and you open it

    If i were to buy the built one, i would put it on a dyno and get comp and leak down test done, and a thorough inspection.

    so i need i need you advice guys.

    cheers
