To Buy On Not To Buy

[jvs007]

well, its almost d-day, been looking at 4door NA R34 and may have found 1

6/99 model r34 gt, silvery/light gray colour, usual features, 62K, 11mths rego

asking 15K.

pretty sure its series 1

checkd for most obvious and usual things as far as wear and tear to reflect mileage.

all round pretty good and straight. unfornatelly no aero kit. gone through search for lots of info.

bad points...no cd player(stock cassete deck) mite be a good thing

its got jap style snow tyres..very noisy, easy to change

no keyless entry, only have 1 key, will be puting alarm

have looked at plenty, from $14000 to $18000, but some are ok, not so ok and crap condition (im very fussy)

questions....do they all have traction control and LSD?

are all the climate control section the same?

have seen sum with white faced dash, what model is it?

cant believe i mite get a 34, it just fits in the garage, will go nicely next to the r32 !!!

opinions ???

Edit: more I think about it, if I was looking for a NA sedan I'd put the fact that it's a skyline out of my mind. I'd look at the features and condition and then compare it to what other 1999 NA 6 cylinder sedans I could get and would probably be asking myself if it's worth 15k.

I dunno, personally I'd save my pennies/wait for prices to drop more and get a turbo, but then I'd also get a coupe.

Since you mentioned a 32 maybe you have a GT-R or a gtst and this is the "other car".

Dunno, to me a skyline shines as being a bang-for-buck performance car and not sure I'd personally want to pay as $15k to what basically translates to a 4 door family car, almost 9 years old that probably has similar equipment levels to a well-optioned maxima or avalon.

I think all 34s would have traction control, though not so sure about LSD.

Silvery/light grey sounds same as mine - sonic silver metallic, KR4. Really sweet colour imo - a bit more darker than regular silver but much lighter than gunmetal. Only came on the 34s and series 2 33s, and I think possibly the later 300zs.

Pain in the ass tho that I'm pretty sure Nissan actually sold cars in this colour new in australia past 2000 but still have to mix the shade up for touchups etc.
