Even if you ever ever found one for $35k it woudl be a total heap..

Even ones for $40k are in no way genuine and will be accident repair with wound back KMS.

If you dont really care and what a GTR just because you want a GTR thats fine. A proper genuine R34 would cost from around 45- 50k upwards for a higher km (around 80) but genuine and good condition vehicle.

ah i see as this car is the one i was looking at

http://www.carsales.com.au/used-cars/priva...856&trecs=6

At 29,000kms is just way too low i would imagine. how does one tell if the kms are wound back and are there any proplems with a gtr with 80,000 kms on em. is the 100,000kms service expensive?

29,000km Show me your service history....

Don't trust those guy mate, they always have few gtr ads on the carsales(private car sales section) selling under 50k and using different name and mobile number on the ads, they have a warehouse just close to Glebe. My friend bought a bayside blue from them for 50k ten months ago but that car was full of rust under, then they didn't want refund and asked my friend to pay 4k more to swap to a white one (that white one was selling on the same price as the blue one before). Well, no rust on the white one but my friend found out the car couldn't drive in straight line after(should had a bad accident on the front in the past). I always look on the carsales, they now lower their r34 gtr's price at around 40-45k. So be careful when you looking on the cheap r34 gtr. I Think a good proper standard model r34 gtr is around 50k with around 50000kms-60000kms GOOD LUCK for your car search

I know who your exactly talking about and I agree- all there cars are rough. I didnt Trust them. A good clean GTR should be 50's to 65 - V Spec's

[CHO50N]

Hahaha didnt want to say anything but the cars in that dealer will all most probably either be wind backs, accident repairs or both!

Remember, if its to good to be true it usally is!

Very nice clean example of a R34 GTR should be atleast 50K and up. If you importing now they will be around another 10K due to aussie $$$ drop.

[duff]

mmmm i think i will have to dream some more and stick with a clean r33 GTR. not nearly as good but its better than buying a lemon r34

[Iron Chef]

Feel free to shoot me an email and discuss it - I'll see what I can do with your budget, but I'm not making any promises.

You're dead right about getting a lemon though - a rough GT-R is a nightmare to own...

All true, be-careful where where you go and make sure you get a complete check on your car even if it costs you $300. I spent 6 months looking for mine so I know it's not easy!

[Beer Baron]

you can look at that car, but consider that it's nearly 10 years old. so less than 3,000kms a year through all of it's owners? yeah right. spend the money to buy a nice genuine GTR. I can bet you $50 you wont get any auction sheet or any service history with that car. I am biased though as I'm currently selling my 34 GTR. but mine does have history, has 80,000kms (about right for that age GTR) and is absolutely mint. I wouldn't take less than $50K though so it's a fair bit more money, but I'd wager it's a fair bit more car too.... even if they bought that at the peak of the aussie dollar for it to be sold for $40K it would have been a VERY cheap car at auction. very cheap. which spells trouble. so yeah, buy mine instead! lol.

any car you look at, look underneath. if you can, get it checked at a workshop, and even better get a compression test. car should have original service books and manul too. and try and drive a couple so you can get a feel for what a good one should drive like. good luck.

oh, and with the current weak aussie dollar importing one is out. buy one here. importing one really nice ones are 4mil+ which is $55K just for the car. you are looking 67,000 inc GST and import duty, shipping, compliance rego, etc allow another $8-$10K and you're looking at nearly $80K right now to import a really nice 34 GTR. 2 months ago it was about 30% cheaper!

a nice clean r33 gtr is nothing to sneeze at

midnight purple series III with some big rims . yum!

Im with Barron, I bought a R34 GTR just before the crash (well halfway through it around 80ish yen) It is a genuine Grade 4B in Bayside Blue with around 70km, If I was to sell this car I would be expecting $50k for it. I was very happy with the buy as i think alot were scared off due to the economic changes occuring and the buyer needed it sold. (negotiated after auction as it was passed in)

Good GTR's are not easy to find for that sort of money and you can be pretty sure especially with todays market anything under 50ish would be a pretty poor example.

If i was to bring that car in now it would cost another 30% as Barron has said.
