Did I Get A Bargain?

[HUAWEI]

I own the car now. But before I bought it, I had a compression test done and a comprehensive check done by NRMA. The results turned out fine (except a little undercarriage surface rust).

It's in pristine condition inside and out and is completely stock except for exhaust. 128k kms.

Yes/No?

Now that's a bargain.

From a mate?

I bought mine from private seller.

[ztuned]

[RSC41]

Sounds like an awesome bargain, well done mate

But only time will dictate whether you got a genuine bargain, wish you the best.

Thanks for the input guys. I hope so too that it doesn't turn out to be a lemon!

Here are the pictures:

Stock airbox FTW!

is that the 40th anniv model?

[HUAWEI]

I'm not sure. I've had mixed opinions. But I do think that the 40th anniversary edition came with a different front bar and GTR wing as well as interior differences.

[smasha]

also lots of 40th anniv badges..

So the car has not been complianced yet?

Is the price including compliance, rwc, on-road costs?

[R-SPEC]

ah so twas you that got it, my mate was keen on it but he was told it was sold.

congrats

people can look at it and say its a lemon just by lookig at the price but hey i reckon there are genuine bargains out there.

on the ad he mentions "any test welcome" i dont think he'd say that if he had anything to worry about...

either way good luck with it

Looks like it isn't the 40th anniversary model, doesn't have the badges on the rear 3/4 pannel.. also should have it stitched into the seat.. Some of them did come with standard S2 front bar and rear wing..

Looks like a good buy, did you get someone to run the VIN through FAST? What year/month was it made do you know.

It doesn't include on-road costs. I paid for a full year of rego plus a bit of stamp duty. Not bad! Amounted to less than $1000. Still waiting for someone to FAST my VIN.

Very nice clean looking R33. Definitely a bargain. Make sure you ring up your local road authority to make sure there's no finance left on the vehicle as well.

Good luck and welcome to SAU!!

I got mine 96 S2 for $10,500 including rego and all that plus a 3 year warranty.

Only did 85k when I got it although it came stock as.

Why are they going for so cheap these days? Is there too many coming into the country? Heck r32 gtst's can sell for more than $11K

Not even 3 years back R33's were in the $20K+ region.

Talk to the importers. They'll tell you there is a vast stockpile of Silvias and Skylines in open air storage, some on which have been sitting for 5 years!!!!!

[gts-4 dreamer]

Im thinking shenanigans unless it really is that hard to sell one these days.

Havent tried honestly. but i paid a premium on you 2 almost 3 years ago thats for sure.

Dont ask me why but i keep thinking its an s1 with s2 parts on it that don't fit quite right. That though is probably my imagination.
