R32 Gtr Thats Been Sitting For 3 Years,need Help To Start

[deprived777]

i think he backed out now anyways after making a deal.ah well. i'll put it back on ebay.had 70 people view it in 20 minutes lol

[deprived777]

another guy called and offered 5500 but i think thats too low .its half what i paid and i bought exactly as it is.

think i;ll wait a couple of days and see what other offers come through

[GTSBoy]

I'll be brutally honest and say that regardless of you paying >$10k for it, I wouldn't pay much more than $5-6k because it really does need lots more money spent on it to even get it mobile. If I were you I would take any offer in that area and be glad it's gone.

[mr skidz]

The problem is people get excited over the initial price but if they took the time to sit down and calculate what they would need to spend and what the end result would realistically look like they shit themselves and even then people always seem to underestimate the real cost of fixing these things.

If I bought that I drift it

[deprived777]

yeah i guess. i'm getting quite alot of messages for it. plus the car looks a bit rough with the stress cracks and sitting on space saver wheels lmao. some actual wheels on it would make it alot more appealing.

Search gumtree you should get a half decent set for $500 max

[deprived777]

yeah might be a good idea !! ill give it a look

Pretty sure you fried the electrics in this car.

i havent really read all 10 pages but have you tried towing it to a workshop and getting them to try and start it?

[GTRPSI]

I was seriously considering the car, and i was not joking with my 6K offer on the first page.

However after seeing pics, that purple pic shows on hell of a non stock glass body, put me right off it, would be a headache to bring her back to the stock body shape, then deal with all the other repairs.

Im being seriously honest, if you get offers around $6K take it and run. (no im not one of the people making the offers, just saying)

Most likely will be bought by someone who does not know better like you did.....

Lol really? I highly doubt that, that's why cars have fuses.

He already got the car started but having no afm with standard ecu doesn't help.

[GTSBoy]

Fuses don't blow because of reverse polarity.

Sensitive semiconductors do.

[admS15]

I'm with GTRPSI if someone offers you 6k after looking at it. Take it quick smart.

[Stixbnr32]

Yeah looking at the TLC that is required on the car - a quick exit would be best if you do not have the spare $ to fix it up.

Too bad.....another GTR heading for a grave.

[AngryRB]

Why not return it back to more stock, you could use the money from sale of turbo, dump, injectors and maybe other stuff you dont need, then buy the stock gear and replace the headgasket ( $60) then get some wheels and should be sweet?

Don't sell it off to some low baller, pick yourself up a 1K shitbox so you can get to work and then fix up the GTR so you can enjoy it..

TBH 6k for that car is a good buy for the buyer. Rollers go for more than that.

It is but its probably the best option for the op. Its easily worth more in parts, obviously there is time and effort involved. At 6k its an attractive proposition to some, I can't see too many being interested in paying too much more.

[mr skidz]

Part it out you could easily recoup your purchase money and some.

but most rollers that are getting more then that have good bodies, I'd be surprised if this one could ever be registered again

[admS15]

Agreed.
