89gtr price

[puckish]

It's school holidays isn't it ?

[junkie13]

??? what are you saying

[NXTIME]

If you are smart enough, you can buy a local GTR in very good condition for $25,000 whilst minimising your risks.

[NXTIME]

Oh, and yes, unfortunately it is school holidays now.

OK... I think is time for me to tell... if you are buying an 89 GTR.

1. See the auction list or paper. THE ODE on the paper is the correct one. i would say 99% of the stuff on the paper is true about the car. JAP are honest people.

2. After X-mas the car price in JAP auction is going to drop again. THAT IS FOP SURE. ASK Around those who import car.

3. GOOD LUCK to those who are trying to sell their GTR at a higher price cause i know alot of them will be wasting their time and money for advertising.

4. IF i am going to pay 30K for a GTR over here, I rather get an 89 GTR and use the rest of money and buit it up MYself, also i choose what ever part which i think is good for my car and also the part that i get is NEW!!!!!. rather paying 15K extra to get a decent one for 30K. Yes the car may not bring you trouble, but then agin when my 89 arrive i will be paying the same price as for let say now i pay 15K for car and 15K for parts. However most of my part will be NEW.

Hope this HELP.

also if anyone want to buy an GTR now ..... I know a few place which you can get an 97 R33 GTR for $35K stock standard, and also 31K for an 95 GTR with mod.

Reason why i dont want to get it now is,,,,,, price is going to drop for sure on January next year in JAPAN.

[calvintys]

Good LUCK to those who are trying to sell their GTR at a higher price if you cant sell it by beging of (jan to march) NEXT YEAR at your price well .... that is going to be worst.

[NXTIME]

yes, but a car that may have been thrashed and not taken care of very well will tend to have more things go wrong with it and with a GTR, these things won't be cheap to fix. As long as you are aware of this significant risk, then good luck with your purchase. I just don't think that it is wise to give all these people who want to buy a GTR the misguided notion that a 15K GTR is going to be a perfect car. It will be in fair to good condition unless you are very lucky to find a cheap and clean one.

[calvintys]

well if you are getting a 15K car , for sure most of us will prepare another sum of money for the car... it all depent on how far you want to go, also a good advice is ask whom ever who import the car for you, for the action paper or document about the car, only trust the document on orther stuff they say..

[junkie13]

hey man where did you get your car for 15.000 is that landed or just over at japan auction

[NXTIME]

There are plenty of 15K landed GTRs in Japan. I have seen them sell for as low as 450,000 yen ($5,700 raw price), but you get what you pay for. pay that little bit exta aand get a clean one, or just buy one already here.

[junkie13]

cool man shold of contact you before making my purchase

look over here and you guys should know that R33 GTR and R34 GTT is almost the same price in japan.

[calvintys]

If this year R34 GTT is only cost 28K .... and people are selling an R32 GTR for 2+ K .... what will you want to buy ,,, R33 GTR next year for about high 20K or buy now for R32 GTR...

hope this make sence.. this is my prediction of car price

[junkie13]

i would go for the r32gtr because i think the slim looks better then the r33

r34gtt is all good in the looks department but still slow compare to a gtr

[funkymonkey]

calvin, we've been thru this before, did you happen to watch the price change in the market after the SEVS laws came in?

People who buy 1989 GTRs are completely different people to those who buy a an R33 GTR. You're gonna find a lot of 21yr olds who wanna go fast n know jack about the costs of maintaining a GTR going to companies n car yards sayin

"here's my 20k, now where's my GTR so I can brag to every1 I have a GTR... oh t has rust all over the underbody and the firewall? Oh the mild steel exhaust system is rotting from the inside? Oh the interior is torn to shreds from 15 yrs of use? Oh the atessa system is buggered coz everything from my AFM to my LSD hasn't been looked at since my car's free servicing peroid ended 13 yrs ago? Oh my engine has bits in it from 15 yrs of metal particles collecting in it? Dosen't matter... I still have a GTR so what if it'll cost me more than 15k of repairs eventually before I sell it, and that its resale value will be bugger all next year when the 1990 GTRs are 15 yrs old, and that it'll spend more time at my mechanic being fixed than in m garage in the fist 4 months."

Compare that to a person in their mid to late 20's and upwards, who have a tertiary qualification, and have been saving up for a good 2 years for a 1995 R33 GTR. Almost all the guys i've met with 33 GTRs are in this category. Its really dumb to think that a bunch of kids buying cheap cars is gonna drive down the price of a car which sells to a completely different market.

The number of enthusiasts who will pick an R32 over an R33 when they can afford the GTR spec in both models is very close to zero. I bag the f**k thru R33's but if I had the money I'd rather spend it on an R33 GTR than on an R32 GTR.

What you ARE gonna find is that R33 GTSt prices will fall, as these are the guys who want to go up that notch to the "I have a GTR club" yet can't afford to buy the R33 GTR, so they are willing to sacrifice their R33 GTSt's reliability for more power. Look out for Secondhand aussie owned R33 GTSt prices to fall.

[junkie13]

well i can afford a r33gtr but if i can i get r32gtr in good condition i think it will be better then r33 because i just i like the looks more and its alot easier on the pocket

i use to own a s15 and had over 20k of mods in it so that i know how much is to maintain a gtr so not all 20 know jack about cars like you suggest

[calvintys]

hey junkie13 i think we are on the same both .. i also can afford to get an R33 GTR but now i middle of choosing which one shall i get ,,,, later model but less mod or ordest model but got alot of mod..

[junkie13]

thats just depends on you i put alot of mods in my s15 because i am very competitive everytime i lose a race i would install a performance part etc i would just recommend to get one in good condition and dont be scared by the age but pay attention on how the owner kept it

my friend own a 34gtt which has so many performance part in his car but he never push the pedal (weirdo) and now he sold it 34000 which is a bargin consider all those goodies in it so i suggest there is cars thats well look after and has low price and just be paitient and shop around and jump at the opptunity if its a bargin

You're gonna find a lot of 21yr olds

Read... it says a lot... not "all". Obviously there's exceptions to every case I'm just stereotyping here as you do when trying to predict the market.

And I agree that you should be more concerned about the keep of the car than its age. My last car was a 1990 CA18DET 180sx, with a strawberry face conversion, and it went thru car shows n drags and efficiently made 174rwkw. So age dosen't matter. ts the condition that you get the car in.

If you look in the jap market (trust me I've been combing the amrket with jspec for a while) I've found that all the 1989 ones you get for less than 900,000 Yen (rougly about 12 grand) are all pretty much sparepart material or need a LOT of restoration. The mint ones go for about 1.5 million yen, and the average oens are aroun 1.1 to 1.2 million yen. And trust me, we been thru and inspected many at car yards, dealers, yahoo auctions and even the USS auctions etc.
