Im really confused how skyline prices seem to be all over the place.

Ive seen an R34 GTR in stock trim with 64k sell for $48k and R32's with the works advertised for $65 k. I know all about condition of vehicle and extras etc but like WOW.. What a difference.

Id love to see the prices of skylines remain stable or even increase so write down what you paid or sold your skyline for in 2003. So some suckers arent selling theres too cheap or worse advertising them at such a high price that people think Skylines are unsaleable. (thats what scared me off a skyline for a few years, I thought "if I buy one, Id never be able to resell it" as some guys advertised theres for 4-6 months every fortnight in the Trading Post)

Ill start,

I have been doing a little research lately to land a 96/97 R33 GTR V-spec, Gr 4-5, interior grade A or B, complied, all taxes/duties, rego, tyres blah blah, seems to be around $45-50k give or take a few.

EDIT: price Damn RAWS!

there is lots of good deals out there , like i see people buying r33 gtst's for lets say 26 grand, and you see another one getting it for lets say 12-15 and there laughing hhehe. but there would be a "reason" claimed by the other person saying theres is better bla bla bla . but really its the same thing.

im planning to get a cheap 32 gtst for a thrasher . anyone know where to get one . about 10 - 13 grand is what ill spend. RB20DET i prefer.

94 R33 GTST, pod and 17" Advanti racing wheels, Sep 03

$17500, 65000km (I think) 2nd aussie owner. When I was looking average R33 price seemed to be about $21-22000. There were a couple around 15500 and 13800, but I didn't even go look at them - just thought they must have been crap. Who knows if they actually were.

MINES_DATSUN i do not agree with what you are saying, yes there are many good deals out there. A value of a car may be the SAME to you, but may be different to another person. Yes there are many skylines out there for 12-15k and then there are those people that have bought it for that price may believe that they have got a bargain, and some others like me who may have paid 25k for my car. When i bought my S2 96 skylines, i had many different types of skylines to choice from. Buyin from dealer, private and importing one myself. But the only reason i bought mine for $25k from a dealer was solely because i wanted to be the first australia driver and because of the kms it had on the clock. Ok you may think the clock could be rigged and yes i agree with that too, because there is that possibility, but the condition of my car and because it had a warranty with it was wat made up my mind. At the time when i bought it i found an exact model, colour skyline as mine but had 50k more kms on the clock and it was a private sale, it was selling for 20,500. I considered that with my parents but we opted to go for the 25k because of the reasons above + many more. So although many of you may think i paid too much for my S2 skyline, i bought it for that price for my own personal reasons, but when you buy a car, the price is not the only think that is considered, there are many other factors included.

So dont go saying its the same thing coz its not. Yes it may be the same model of car, but a car is like a person and that it is all different. Each has its own pros and cons. What is a bargain t you may not be for me and wats a bargain to me will not be to someone else. Oh of coz this only applies to 2nd hand cars not brand new cars where we all pay the same amount of money.

Sorry for the long post but i felt i needed to get my point across.

Cheers
