Unfortunately, it looks like I am going to have to sell my 89 R32 GT-R. I don't actually want to & therefore am trying to leave the decision as late as possible.

My question is this: how easy/difficult is it to sell a pretty much stock R32 GTR (89) in good nick. I would have to ask about $25,000.

Either that or is anyone in the market for a couple of kidneys, one careful owner.

Well I have all the receipts and stuff to show what it cost to get on the road and it is basically what I would ask for it. The purpose of the exercise is not to make money on the deal.

The problem is, I suppose, getting past the disinformation around about exactly how much/how cheap importing cars really is.

I personally suspect you won't get what you paid for it...everyone wants a bargain and even if your car is good it will be competing against crap cars with a low price tag :P

thats the downside of the ease of importing a 15yo car :rofl:

89 GTRS went up in price about 6-8 weeks ago and can not be had in good condition in Japan at bargin prices anymore so 25 for a cleen GTR is very cheap now.

Most of the cheap ones that did get in have cost huge money to get into good order.

Stick to your price if its clean.

I sold my VERY clean burgundy 89 for more than that a few months ago.

Car isknown to quite a few members on this forum and all have said it was one of the best around, irrespective of year.

A good one is worth it ie, no engine problems, no repair work on the body, no cigarette burns etc.

Cheers

Thanks for the info Ken. I hadn't realised you had sold yours. I saw it down at Collie and like you say, it is very clean/shiney.

I guess mine is a little off yours - but not too far.

Geoff from Prestige reckoned on it being (mine that is, sorry this thread is all about me, me, me) one of the best they had had at till the time of purchase. There again he may say that to all the guys...

Sorry and before I get flamed Geoff is ok by me.

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
