Worth It?

[Tom51]

I've been in the market for a while now as I didn't want to rush into the whole thing and purchase a lemon by mistake. I've finally come accross a skyline that looks like a pretty good buy to me, but then again I don't know all the ins and outs of skylines like you guys do. Of course I'll get RACQ to come and look at the car if I go to look at it, problem is it's going to cost about $300 to get it checked out and it's all the way up in Gympie (I live in Brisbane). Anyway here's there link:

Are you scared off by having to travel 90 minutes to buy a car?

You should not be worried by spending $300 on what could be a $14500 purchase.

Are you going to be happy paying for 20" tyres?

imo - keep looking... mileage is pretty high, rims are way too big (big $$$ when it comes time to replace them, not to mention the ride would be quite unforgiving) the colour just screams attention.

not to mention non turbo with a gtr badge.

but hey, if it checks out, and you like it go for it..

Thanks for the help, I know Gympie isn't that far away it's just that I don't want to waste going up there if it turns out to be a lemon. I'm guessing a non turbo with a gtr badge wouldn't settle too well with the skyline community too =/

It's red and auto that's enough to deter me sorry

auto and gtr drivetrain???? i thought they only built the gt4's in manual, or do they have same running gear as the s2 stageas do????

also car looks decent, but my mate has a red one too, but a 4 door and the paint is a real big pain to keep perfect, red is a very fadeing colour, leave it in the sun for a bit too long over a couple of months and youll get fading.

find a different one imo, also do you guys in brisbane also get hasseled if your rims are too big???

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaha, that's one of the natro's with the GTR badge that i have mentioned a few times on here.

from what i have seen of the car the owner tends to drive it pretty sensibly, but i have only seen it a few times on the road.

if you wanted to know what it's like before driving to gympie, i could go and check it out for you if you like. i won't have time this weekend to do it though. driving to gympie isn't exactly a long drive though. i drive down to brissy and back all the time in a single day. hell i've had to do trips down just to drop mum at the hospital, so i've gone down and back without hopping out of the car. i've bought a few of my cars from brissy and done a trip down and back to look at them.

On the plus side, if it works out to be a good 'un and Marc is willing to look at it for you (on that score), you can bargain harder than if the car was in Brissie.
