Buying 2005 V35 250Gt Premium - Any Tips

[t5iv]

Everyone thank you all so much for your help advice and confidence.

Somehow from an act of God my wife has agreed that the 2006 V36 350GT SP is a better car for our family!

So if everything goes well late next week I should be driving this instead for the 250GT.

Rally appreciate the help and assistance as some of these points assisted with the decision.

I will upload some photos when I get the car.

Looking forward to becoming part of this community.

Matt.

How?

Good decision! My mrs encouraging me to spend MORE money in unheard of so I wouldn't argue with that haha.

I met my Mrs on these forums... She drives an R34 and spends too much on parts

Nice.. I am sure you will be happy with it!!

I have considered upgrading to a V36, especially with some of the prices importers are quoting lately. - I probably would have one by now if the sedans were available in a 6sp manual.. the coupe is a bit impractical for me at the moment and I really don't want an auto.

Same here! Although, I could get a coupe if I really wanted....

Awesome!! V36 sedans look soo much better than the V35 sedans, good result. Extra 90 hp too

Hey! Hey!! No.

Don't get too excited.. even the 09+ 370GT only gets 48HP over the V35 350GT,

I was talking about the aesthetics of the V35.

How the members of this forum helped me with the purchase was the following points:

# two keys as replacement keys for these are not a simple thing. Appreciate all the information in the posts relating to replacement keys.

# lines of the body - I was told and assured the vehicle hadn't been in any accidents or damage. The lines of the front fenders were not the same. The vehicles lines were different in overcast conditions compared to full sun

# parts sound like they are easier to get then 250. Went into Repco and spent 20 minutes going over what parts the had in stock today and parts they could get in. Basically 99% of the 350 were available and 80% of the 250 had to be ordered.

# import certificate make sure you get a copy of this and check it against the RWC and the Km's should be similar

# vehicle check from RACV - they were painful about it and wanted the car in their centre for a day. Called "statewide" and found them to be fantastic and the inspection guy picked up on the damage/replacement fender due to the number of welds and a few other points. Felt very happy after the inspection from statewide and that will the final decider to get the car.

Hope this helps
