Which To Choose?

[Deziner]

Hi,

I am currently looking for GT-R's to buy, either an R32 or R33. My preference is for an R33 if one comes along within my budget.

If you had to choose from the below two cars, a 32 and the other 33 which would you reccommend? The 33 has much higher Km's on it whereas the 32 has about half the Km's.

Also, as I live in WA and there doesn't seem to be too many for sale over here I will most likely be buying one from interstate and will not have a chance to test drive or see it in person.

What type of questions should I be asking: Service history, accident history, mod's (the R32 above for example says stock, but I dont think they come stock with pod's?), if recent import to see the auction sheet, lots of pic's inside and out.

Anything else you would reccommend?

Cheers.

I'm pretty sure someone else on here was looking at that R32, might want to see if you can find the thread as there was a fair bit of detail about the car. As for buying a car without seeing/driving it first, no way I'd be spending 20K on a hope and dream that it is a good car.

I'd wait until something comes up locally.

Thanks for the info, I'll have a look around the forums and see if I can find that discussion.

Regarding buying without seeing, if it is a fresh import for example shouldn't the dealer let you view the auction sheet? This would equate to the same as importing a car from Japan via an importer would it not as you are not personally viewing these cars either.

Also most dealers I have seen offer a parts/labour warrantee which should cover you as well?

I found the post relating to the R32 GTR I was looking at. I will be giving that one a miss I think.

Any thoughts on the R33 GTR?

I wouldn't worry about how many km's the dash cluster says because 95% are wound back.

Look for wear on steering wheel,gear boot,handbrake interior etc list goes on
