Price On R34 Gtr

[toy515]

hey

how much would a 1999 standard r34 gtr set me back?

[Bakes]

Anywhere from 45K to 60K depending on if it is a V Spec or not.

Got an email today for one on j-spec for $38,500 for a 2000 model GTR.... That is amazingly cheap!!!!!!!!!

to work it out, go to any japanese auction website and find the price of the car if you were to buy it in japan; generally 3.8-5.0 million yen depending on spec.

pay agent fee 100,000 yen = bout 1000bux

shipping 150,000-250,000 yen

10% gst australian tax

10% import tax

new luxury car tax

compliance = bout 1500-2000

new tyres + service

stamp duty = 3ish% i think on car

registration

commission to importer

be careful with cos cars with accident history fetch lower prices and have lower auction grades therefore the importer may buy one at 2-3 and tell you it was a 4-4.5

Mine was 49k landed for a normal 99 GTR. V Specs are mid 50's, and i even saw a Nur for 68k the other day.

Posts #2 & #7 are about right.

Take someone familiar with the GTRs along with you whilst you're looking at the plusses. Whereas your mate can be more objective and look out for you.

Check Auction papers. At the top right hand corner is the Grade No. ie. 2, 3, 4, 4.5, 5. The higher the number the better.

You look for rust etc whilst your mates check out everything else.

Be very wary about the cheaper price vehicle - and be suss about anything.

Other threads in SAU will tell you what to look out for...

All The Best. Cheers, T

Never ever rely on auction grades anymore. They were reliable in the past but these days you cannot simply judge a car by the grading system. I've been searching for a good accident free gtr in Japan for months. On 2 instances, both cars were graded 4 so I got my importer's broker to physically inspect the cars. Both cars had been in accidents. They werent major but nevertheless, I wanted a car with no hits. If you're going to buy from the auctions, make sure to have someone check the car for you before you commit to it.

I'd have to agree on that too..

I wanted a car with no hits.

This is one of the major car-buying issues of course, but plenty of hits can be repaired and the car will be like new. It's only chassis and suspension damage that is really ugly IMO.

Point is, don't run in tears if the car's been knocked, when an inspection reveals the repairs are up to scratch and the chassis/susp. is OK.
