Semi- Newbie Help..

[mindflux]

Hey Guys, let me introduce myself, my names matt and i currently drive a commodore

I wont bore you with my life story, but i'll give you a shorter version.

I am actually from sydney, and i've been a skyline fan since i was 15 .. and im about to turn 19.

at 17 my good mate baught a silvia, and i thaught it was amazing.. after researching them and having a love for them, i fell in love with the sileighty.

next came my nextdoor neighbour who baught a 180sx, i helped him work on it.. even to the point i loved his car more than him .. i would even wash it for him.

in the back of my head i had always wanted a skyline .. but the only thing that stopped me was insurence..

i was so close looking for a skyline but insurence was too much.

so i bit the bullet and went and baught the cheapest insurence car .. a VS commodore .. i've had it for about 4 months .. its nice and all but it just doesnt fill the hole.

Now in a few weeks i'm moving up to QLD, and the chance to get a skyline makes me pretty happy.

my brother just baught an R33 the other day. and as much as i love r33's they would me out of my price and i would love to own a mean gun metal grey r32.

I could go on for hours for you .. but what i would like to know is, what kind of money would i be looking at the purchase preferably stock r32 gts-t ..

and with insurence, is third party fire and theft any cheaper then full comp or what?

thanks guys

You should be able to pick up one in very tidy condition for around $15000.

[mindflux]

Sweet that sounds a'ight..

Im going to wait till i move up there, in 2 months..

chekc out what insurence is like ..

sell the commie after ive payed off my debts. (only about a grand)

then work my ass off to get some money for the skyline.

can you fill me in more on skyline insurence prices

look around, and get lots of quotes. try all the usal people like just cars and young and cool. even try an insurance broker.

I today just got Insurance, couldn't believe how cheap it was for me as I hear other people paying alot more for the same. I got my policy for $3000 from Famous Insurance, I'm 18 and had no accidents or offences.

[Guest Boxhead]

god damn, i now wish i hadnt lost my liscence, i could pay $3000 too instead im getting quoted for around th $7000 mark

im 19

ohwell

anyway yeh, have a look around, if you know cars mechanically, i dont see why trading post can be dodgy, its usually the cheapest

[locutus_of_bris]

I agree. I got mine via the trading post. I took about 10 cars for a test drive and it was obvious which ones were good and which ones sucked. In the end I got an R33 for $17k, its neat and tidy and reasonably fast for close to stock.

I also got insurance for $680ish, but I'm old and have a decent driving record.

Check all the online insurers for quotes and ring around, and setup the online trading post to email you all the R32 ads. It's worth the effort.

What about putting it in my parents name and me as a driver .. would that work cheaper?

[Guest 382 GZV - 4 Door R33]

The insurance companies are apparently pretty cluey about that 'especially if your parents already have a car and 'their' car is in a different state for ages. According to Speed magazine, they can be pretty tight that way. - best wearing it now and building a good record
