Anyone Know This Car/person + Possibly Check Out? In Chadstone

[darksky34]

Hey all,

I'm fairly interested in this GTT, I'm wanting to buy one and it has to be 2000, GTT, Black and manual and fairly stock.

This basically fits the bill and I've been looking for 2 months or so...anyway. TBH the price is a bit high, so first of all I'd like to know if anybody knows who owns this car OR whether they are on this forum.

If so, or even if not, is anyone able to check it out for me? I haven't contacted the seller yet. I just want to gauge whether anybody can help.

Cheers.

Any tips, knowledge etc feel free to throw my way.

IMO I wouldn't be believing those km's are legit on a car that is 12years old, no matter what you say

[enka]

take it even for 17k, km must be resetted, doesnt matter if it's being taken care of

[darksky34]

Yeah I don't believe it's 70 000 km either! Too good to be true.

@enka, 17k is a bit out of my range, considering the fact that I may have to either organise transport for the car up to NSW OR flying down and driving it up myself...well I guess this is something I'll have to work out with the seller anyway.

Why 2000? arnt they identical to 98/99? If you do want it for low kms, I'd be making sure it has log books/ service history etc...

guessing those 70,xxx are from when the dash was changed.. lol

The only reason to tell is its condition really, how the motor runs, rust, rips/tears in drivers seat etc.

If I was you I'd stick to one that's been unmolested, that way you may have a bit more of

an idea on its actual odometer reading.

When I was looking for my 34 I spent nearly 12 months waiting for the "perfect" one to pop up, they are few and far between!

[darksky34]

@jack - 12 months????? oh.....my...........well I guess you're right, no point buying a piece of crap in a rush. but 12 months WOW. the 2000 is the 'series 2', from 1998-late 1999 are the series 1 and then very late 1999/2000-2001 are the series 2, i believe. minor cosmetic changes in both exterior and interior, and perhaps some changes in components but no overall major differences (from my very very basic knowledge of this history). I like the look of the series 2 much more, and, though not always the case, an older car is older and therefore more likely to be worn/used/etc etc.

just drive it back to NSW, buy a one-way ticket, easy! I did this with my 32, one-way ticket to Adelaide and drive back next day! Sweet drive!

i wouldnt even bother because of the simple fact he said "sms" if interested..

and also only 2 front coilovers?

smsing is wasting time, genuine sellers/buyers would rather a phone call

[Downforce]

OP, if you're under any illusion that a used skyline of any age has not had a nice thrashing you're kidding yourself. Difference of 2 years between a 98 and a 2000 model is hardly worth paying extra for. Likewise, $17k is pricey for a car that's basically stock. 2 door GTT (turbo) coupes can be bought for $10-12k now, so I wouldn't rush in to buying one if you have time to look around.

[darksky34]

@GTTR34 point taken good sir, but I am well aware of it already. of course it will have been thrashed, what i mean is that if you have the choice of buying an older car or a newer car you're still more likely to take the newer one - based on the assumption that a newer car has had less time on earth to be thrashed (but of course this is a massive variability in reality!)

and so yes, i definitely won't be paying 17k for that basically stock car. Having said that, where have you seen GTTs that go for 10-12? I've had my eye on the market for 2 months and never ever seen one that low.

[Steve37]

Chris, i bought my R34 GTT 4D for $11500... And it was in great condition besides a broken wheel bearing.

That was a private sale that i found on carsales aswel.

Oh also it was a 1999, but it came with a FMIC, Pod, Hicas Lock bar, turbo timer, aftermarket Headunit, wheels(dunno what), and an exhaust.

[darksky34]

Wtf guys ! That's ridiculous ! Holy crap. Went with a mate to the import yards today in Sydney, there were like 2 gtts out of 2 entire yards. There seems to be a shortage going on.
