Skylines for sale, R33?

[Silvia1992]

Hmm, Rev210 is selling his, and I know a guy selling aswell.

What is your approximate budget etc?

[Silvia1992]

Im not going to pay outrageous prices for local ones, but ive seen some decent cars sold from the sunday times last sunday. Skipper rippoff mitsubshi sells r33 1993 skylines for $17999, and i passed on a bunky one in canning vale for $14000, so anywhere in that ball park is were i wanna start. No NOS kits sorry!

I'm sure Rev210 would take his NOS off for you:D

$14K? Wouldn't touch that with a barge pole.

I think I know a guy selling his for $17K if your a serious buyer. Can you get insurance? You are after turbo right?

I have one for sale ... But it's auto ... put's out 200+RWHP

[Silvia1992]

Why would I buy a private sale for $17000, if i can get a dealer one for $17999 with a warranty? Unless this car had some sort of modifications? What is the car details, man, turbo?

What defines a serious buyer, i just sold my silvia so i guess you could call me a definate buyer cause i need a car to drive to work.

paul

also what are the km on the clock, what colour?

also the $14000 one only had a front nudge on the vehicle which required a new bumper support, thats why it was priced accordingly.

I would not consider $17,999 for a 93 manual , turbo Line expensive , especially with a warranty. If you want a real cheap one ,import one and take the risk.

Yer ive got a mate that imports them but i dont want to get bitten, he recently imported an 300zx that he was driving in japan. Turns out the engine was blown by some tool in the importing yard, they failed to tell him that.

The number of 'decent' skylines on the market is rather low. Once you have driven a good one you will know what I mean.There are many 'good lookers' with mechanical issues. I'd say ignor the low kms tags and just evalutate the mechanicals for themselves. After all this is what low kms is supposed to indicate.

If you can find a 'good' R33 for $17,999 then you are laughing. Most around are not 'good'. Expect upwards of $22k for something decent, that sort of budget is realistic. More for a 95' in good nik or a series 2.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Ignore the low km's, cause alot of people in Japan wind them back, so it's not a worthwhile indicator:D

[Silvia1992]

Geez,

$22+ for a 1993 - 1995 car. I just sold my silvia i imported two years ago for a complete loss, cause thats all they are worth.

Consider

1992 silvia NA, auto

Remus 2.5" exhaust, twin tips

Apexi Air filter

New tyres

Apexi extractors

Strut braces etc etc

I bought this car a year ago for $10000, i sold him last week for $6500, it had done 140000km.

But $22000+ for a ten year old car is getting up there, i could be looking at 1998 wrx's and stuff for that kinda money.

how can you truely tell engine condition without cracking the rocker cover, id say that km may be a better indicator, anyone can do miracles with a paint brush and a $2 can of super cheap degreaser.

I sold my 93 R33 for $16,500 and it was in good condition. had 120,000kms but i never had a problem with it. engine was fine.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

If you find a car then get a leak-down test done, that will give you some idea of the engines condition.

Good example mr snrub!, this is what im after, i looked in the quokka today (perth), and all 1993 skylines were $18500 +

I'm sure you can haggle over the price with some of them;)

Exactly !!!

[Silvia1992]

haggle down $3000,

people get so offended when you offer them $16000 for a car they are asking $19500 for. I know ive had 10 cars and im only 22, so i bought a few.......never crashed one though.........
