R32 gtst prices

[insanenissan]

Hi all, just wondering what people think about the price's of the r32's will be next year. Im looking to get one, and do people think the prices will go up or down?

[MR R32]

hard to say if they will go up or down.

You can pick one up for between 8 - 25 thousand and the price will reflect the car you buy.

For 8 grand u might get something with rough body, no rego, blown engine, and overall BAD condition.

Then on the other end of the scale you might get a car that has a rebuilt RB25DET upgrade with a nice respray, wheels, suspension, stereo, rego, that is in great condition that the previous owner has fussed over and washed every hour on the hour...

The general price range at the moment seems to be from 13-18 thousand and I think that this will remain the same next year.

Or if you look hard enough you might find one for 8 grand that has an almost immaculate body, rego, perfect condition mechanically but its an Auto. Cost to change to manual: $2k.. total cost: $10k.

hi MR R32. How has your personal experience been with your R32 GTS-t? Has it been reliable for you and not drain ur pocket too much? ( I know it might be different with every model with reliability issues, etc). Im asking because i am interested to know, as i am considering buying an R32 GTS-t as my first car with a budget of around 15k next year. You dont have to answer everything, just curious to know how much $ u spend on fuel each week, normal driving?

Or information from anybody with personal experience with an R32 GTS-t?

Just dont want to fall in a hole owning one, im just stuck about this and trying to be realistic owning such a car, so any information would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Steve.

$50 will get you about 350-420 kms of city driving.

They are the best cars to own - very reliable if you get a good one.

15k is a good price to spend - u can save if you want to modify too.... My advice - buy one with a full exhaust, cooler, and wheels. Make sure its A1 mechanicallly before buying.

Good luck!

good luck getting insurance, unless your going to get a parent to insure it for you

my 32 has been a total joy to own never had a problem (touch wood)

like MR R32 says get one with basic mods and save yourself the hassles.

[R32_GODZILLA]

Yes i know insurance is a big factor....going to have to study my options hard though....

Thanks for your comments myR32, much appreciated.

If you're talking about importing one, I cant see it getting any cheaper - the pirce has skyrocketed towards the end of this year with the demise of the 15 yr rule, and because they are *relatively* rare and fewer will be arriving in Australia (whos gonna bring a 15yo car thru SEVS?) there isnt really any reason to drive the price down... I can only see people asking high amounts for them.
