views on price 24k for r33 gtst mspec

[iissavi]

I Just wanted to get other peoples view on this

I'm currently looking to buy a R33 GTST -1997 - Manual - 12 months rego Mspec

full stock , mint condition for $24,000.00 is this a fair price?

Will be the 1st driver in australia just imported.

Is there any point in doing a rev check when its only been in australia for 1 week.

will be the 1st australian driver?

If the car has never been registered in Australia you need not bother with REV's.

How many Km's on the car?

If its a legitimately clean and excellent condition car then the price sounds fair

[iissavi]

Its done around 40,000Kms

so if theres no point in doing rev's check, how does someone do a check on a just imported car 2 see if a car is legit?

[Blitz]

If the car has only just been imported, it has obviously never been registered in Australia before so it will not have had any finance on it.

REV's checks for encumberance on a vehicle, ie money owing, so this wont be nessesary on a freshly imported car

I bught mine the same way you did.

Someone imported it and i bought, so second owner in Aus but 1st registered on road owner.

The don't bother with REVS comments.....just do it man!

I did even though it was just in. It doesn't hurt and takes you a whole 5 mins of your life!

...and its free.

Are you sure its mspec or is it series II? For an SII perfect condition, I'd definitely consider it.

[iissavi]

he told me its a seris 2 mspec

how can i tell if this is a true?

[Viscount]

I always thought mspec r33's were Series 1.5? I'm probably wrong though.

[Blitz]

If its a 97 car its series 2.

[iissavi]

yeah im gonna ask the guy for the shipping pappers n stuff

im not sure what to do coz ive never bought a imported car

[siksII]

get the vin nuimber checked... nissan at hornsby will look it up for you... this will show if it is the car that left the factory with the vin that is on it now, colour etc..

also get someone who knows these cars to check it out for you, lots of things can be wrong with them!

[iissavi]

ive had a machinc that i know look @ at and im going a nrma inspection

just incase ive taken extra precaustion if i get stuffed over man im gonna convert to a V8 fan

[iissavi]

I rang horsnby nissan the guy working there said he has no idea what im talking about

[Blitz]

iissavi: The guy you need to speak to whos clued up on imports at Hornsby nissan is away.

Also an NRMA inspection is a waste of your money, they will happily tell you that your wiper blades are ok and your tyres are fine but they arent trained in performance import vehicles so you are best to either arrange to get the car inspected at a performance shop or get someone you trust and who really knows his stuff to go over the car with a fine tooth comb. Either way make sure you do a compression test.

Where is the place you are buying the car from?

[iissavi]

fairfield area, whats the guy's name that works there?

and which department does he work for

thanks for this i just dont wanna get phucked ova

[Blitz]

iissavi: Tell the dealer/seller that a condition of your purchase is that they allow the car to be taken to a reputable import performance workshop for a thorough checkover prior to laying down any funds.

I sold my GTS-T a few years ago and Jim at CRD in Silverwater inspected my car for the new buyer and I was incredibly impressed with the level of detail they went to.

They checked the engine, body, every switch inside the car, radio, road test, braking, suspension etc etc and dynoed the car to ensure everything was in good working order.

Expect to pay around $200 for a full inspection, and believe me, its money well spent.

I normally speak to John in parts at Nissan

You may be able to try the parts division at Crows Nest Nissan as well

[iissavi]

yeah ill do that take to it a performance place

i rang crows nest nissan same thing i spoke to the manager he said he cant look the history on import cars
