Is This Worth It?

[Bizkit]

Hey guys. Been heavily eyeing skylines for the past 6 months and saving up for a while now. I really love the R34 GT-T's which is what I'm hoping to get. After looking around for a while, I came across this:

R34 GT-T

ODO: 89 000

Cost: $14 590

4sp Semi-Auto

Is it worth it? It looks like its just about stock apart from few minor interior mods. Really appreciate some advice on whether this is a good buy or not.

I wouldn't want an auto or tiptronic, but that is just me.

Gated manual FTW!

[Bizkit]

Fair enough mate, but do you think this is still a good buy? Even if its an auto?

Not really tbh. Its a sedan. They sell for lots less. Theres a few modded auto 4 doors for 15-16k with big mod lists. See this for a stockie auto gtt sedan: link I see your from WA. Creating a topic in the wa section will bring you more replies. Also, you'll find manual much more enjoyable to drive.... As such, I'd suggest you save more or find a nice R33 series 2 (thats not white/silver! ) such as this!

Ten Four is basically right except for his bigoted hate of white 33's.

/Personally I quite like the 4 door 34 so long as it is manual.

...and a manual is easier to sell later on.

...due to demand.

And "bigoted hate" of silver gts-t's

Are you specifically after a 4 door model?

I personally am a much bigger fan of the coupes. There's just something not as sporty about the 4 doors. I would have got a 34 coupe but at the time budget didn't allow. If you have the choice I would opt for the Manual over the Auto for resell and enjoyment reasons. Each to their own however

Sounds like a good price, but like buying any used car, do you checks. Some major damages under the skin is not worth it, check mechanical, rust, previous repairs etc. You know the drill.

Took it for a test drive on saturday. Completely and utterly immaculate. Not a single thing wrong with the car that i could see, apart from extremely minor dent on front bottom bumper. Interior was spotless and stock.

Car drove well, it was also my first time in a Skyline, let alone an R34. What a rush.

The reason I decided against it was the fact its 4 door. The coupes' are much better looking IMO.

Thanks for everyone's input.
