Skylines In Two Years?

[thfchayden]

Will they still be the same price/availability as now? I need to save the money and also need to get off my P plates as I don't want to waste my time with a non turbo one but I am also kinda worried that they will be hard as f**k to find in two or so years.. so much so I am almost considering taking out a personal loan and getting one now to make sure I can get my hands on one.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I am very new to the import scene.

They are a heaps thrashed old car. Yes it will be harder to find good ones in 2 years.

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

They're going up in price for some unknown reason.

You see S1 R33 on the likes of Drift Sales being sold for like 8k and S2 R33 going for the 10k. Ridiculous

[admS15]

I will sell you mine in 2 years for 15k. Bargain

[GTR-N1]

I for one won't be taking my cars to the grave.

I'm so old I'll be selling everything at some stage or other; unless I come to an abrupt end.

I'm so twisted no-one agreed when I wanted to organise a cruise from a cemetery.

I have no idea how much my cars are worth.

You can PM me for my full name so you can find it one day in the obituaries and then track "deceased estates".

Srsly, there's one guy older than me who owns a KPGC10, KPGC110, Group A R32 GTRs etc, and makes my collection look puny.

But the fact is; we all started from a place just like you!!!

Terry, I'd be honoured to drive your R34 lol.

give them to me. You know ill look after them.

people were thinking the same thing in 2014. they will be around for some time longer. Whether they will be more expensive or not, who knows. its not going to be significantly more expensive though... just plan/budget for $10k, then you have options. Not scraping the bottom of the barrel $5k region.

But what might be more interesting, are some of the cars that are going to be similarly priced in 2 years time... think of all the Eurotrash and more inconspicuous turbo cars that will be affordable in that time...

2 years is plenty of time to save up for a car. In that time you would of changed your mind anyway and a lot of the 25k+ cars now will come down to about 18k. I remember opting for a r33 GTR once i got off my Ps, instead i jumped into an Evo. I wouldnt stress about it now, just save up and have a goal and then buy the car when you turn 22...or if you still havent reached your goal then wait another few months and save a little more. You dont have to get a turbo car straight off the bat. Heck you could even go all out on a r34 GTR if you were patient enough and managed your money well. An r34 GTR at 25 years of age is pretty impressive if you start saving now

Ps: at your age (which is pretty much my age) i would never get a loan on a car. Waste of money.

I call bullshit. You see them advertised for $8k but I bet they don't sell for anywhere near that much unless they are a bit special.

Thanks for the amazing reply mate, will start saving!!

Yeah, that'd be quite amazing

I drove it. Can confirm its awesome

So wait 2-5 years. Save for a R34R which is currently appreciating in leaps and bounds and will be probably be min 65k+ for price of entry (conservative guess). Then hope like hell things don't start breaking (which they will as 32-34R's are all ancient now).

Good advice.

So by your logic, if the r34 GTR becomes unreliable by 18 years of age, your R32 GTR must be a piece of crap? You know, given its less refined, already 20+ years and "things starts breaking".

Im sorry, if you're going to generalise that my advice was bad, when in fact i was giving him a goal which teaches him patience and motivation to save money, then i'm just going to be a flamin mongrel to you. Also read half the comments here, and pick on them. They do not attend to the OP's question at all.. If you have an opinion on whats been said, try not to be a sarcastic prick and piss people off.

[Hadouken]

Bit to personal there.

They are getting old. This is a fact.

Shit breaks. This is also a fact.

I agree mate, Anything 2nd hand thats been boosted and tuned is destined to break eventually, thats a given.

He could of simply said that.. I mean surley its not that hard: its easy, look: "Hey mate, i think saving up for a r34 GTR wouldnt be the best advice as those things are appreciating and becoming less reliable as time goes on. But i do agree with him saving his money and buying something of value in the near future"

Instead, he was straight up a sarcastic douche. Hence why i got personal.

Anyways, apologies RBN1, I didnt mean what i said mate, its the internet, i forget that..

[Burger]

I want one in 2-3 years. I hope they still exist then.

Relax, mate. I apologise if the way i phrased it upset you.

Also a 32 GTR is less refined than a 34. Fact. It is also 80% the same car as a 34. I got my 32R when it was 15 years old from Japan (2004) so I know as do a lot of folks on here how much they (32-34R) cost to build and run. A 34R is now as old or older than mine when I got it.

btw I didn't generalise as to why it wasn't good advice. I was quite specific.

All good Derrick, it is the internet.

Bonus fact -

1. I wish I had bought an EVO, had more seat time on the track over the years and saved all that cash that goes towards having a GTR.

To the OP. If you want a Skyline. A GTS/T/25T/GTT will still be around in years to come and stay cheap.

[Anfanee]

Pro tip... If you can't afford two you can't afford one.

That is all.
