Would $5,000 Buy You A R32 Now-a-days?

[Spunky Munky]

Hey fellas,

I was wondering if $5,000 would buy a R32 - my youngest brother loves Skylines; we have 2 already at home and he wants to be the proud owner of a third... he's only just turned 18 and got his P's a couple of weeks ago, he wants a N/A Automatic R32 more so just for crusing purposes... I'm having a bit of trouble finding an old but fairly working R32 for him... anyone know of or has any R32 Skylines that would like to suggest.

We're from Melbourne and the buy would probably take place in a couple of weeks.

Cheers,

I doubt $5k will get you an ok condition r32. Maybe add a bit more to that budget

otherwise u could try for an auto CA18de S13 silvia for around tht price..you get what you pay for..

hmmm 5k for an r32.. might be a battle if your after one in good condition. i know auto n/a ones are cheap but maybe save a couple more grand.

May i ask y he wants an auto... manual is much more fun lol

Thanks fellas.... honestly, thank you all...

TM_R33: mate, he's got an automatic license. Yeah, he's only got $5K on the dot and doesn't make much as he works only twice a week at Red Rooster and they pay like $7 an hour or something... poor guy can't wait any longer... I know R32's are worth around $8K, so damn... hope someone can help him...

[tm_r33]

hmm being an apprentice i earn not alot either. i just owe the bank 15k for an r33 lol.

spose your brother cant consider a loan if he doesnt earn enough to pay it back tho

he will also need money for insurance and rego and maintainance too remember

[Yawn]

Be a good brother and loan him 2k-ish

hey man, really depends if your in the right place in the right time, picked mine up for $5000 exactly, its an na manual with bodykit, 18's and a great condition interior. the paint was on its way out but the car is straight as. engine and gearbox in perfect order.

So yer man there out there you just have to be lucky enough. chasing an auto would make life a little easier i would imagen. hit up the importers.

if you no your stuff you might find getting a shell cheap (again friend just picked 1 up for $3000 wit wheels kit gtr bonnent awesome paint interior) and getting a cheap na motor(ive got 1 4 sale) gearbox god no's there out there.

good luck any way mate.

Thanks mate.... appreciate your advice... yeah, unfortunately... I don't know of many places... accept carsales.com.au and SAU...

Oh well, just gotta hope something comes along soon.

hey .. my sis is wanting to sell her r32 gts.. its black, impul bodykit.. 17" rims.. and auto.. in melb as well. i'm not sure how much she wants for it.. but i'll ask her if you're interested.

[r32line]

$5k should get him a nice 89 heap but then add rego, insurance, servicing, petrol... Unfortunately your brother may have to face the reality that he cant have a skyline at this stage of his life or he could buy one and it will be off the road soon and he wont be able to afford to fix it.

R31's are an excellent first car..

much faster than an NA R32 also

[RBwhatever]

SSS Pulsar? And tell him to get a manual license too.

for like $5500-$6500 not sure which price,but was one of them.

Just stay on the hunt dude,youll for sure find 1 on here,maybe even a cefiro.

should be able to pick up a CA18DE auto silvia for that in pretty good condition.

I'd expect panels to fall off an R32 at that price... or be incomplete, crash damaged, dredged from the bottom of a lake, etc.
