    Lightbulb Can I get an opinion on this R32 GTR

    hey I am looking at this GTR was wondering if anyone can give me an opinion. I can't see much wrong with it, but I probably don't know what to look for.

    thanks!

    here is a video of it

    did you check for rust ? underneath ? crushed frame rails , oil leaks ?

    did you take it for a drive ?

    take it to a shop you trust and get them to do a once over on it , how much is it for sale ?

    you need to provide as much info as possible.

    Yeah, unfortunately a video of visuals doesnt do much for determining value. underbody, see if its had prior accidents (I'd suggest never buying a car that isnt 100% straight), compression numbers, KMs on parts (if motors been swapped, etc).

    From that, we can give you a MUCH better idea.

    the car has had no accidents. with 109000km. no rust underneath. just needs a new set of tires. recently replaced clutch. it seems to be in good shape and drives perfect according to owner. i know i can't believe everything i see on the internet, so it seems im going to have to make a trip up to whistler to take a look.

    hes asking 12500 but will take 11500.

    he says this in the ad.
    "1992 nissan skyline gtr clean inside and out, stock, only mod is apexi filters and 3' trust downpipe and exhaust (currently catless but have cat, bolts right in and out)body is mint, interior is mint"

    is a 92 worth this much with 110 000km? I figure with proper maintenance I could get another 80 000 km out of it, or am I wrong.

    A lot of skylines for sale have around 100 000-120 000 km, is there a reason owners are selling off now? is there life span almost over?

    lol almost EVERY skyline you will see will have somewhere between 80-120k. but we will never know how legit these numbers are... the ones you see around 40k are rarley legit. with proper maintenance you should get another 80k out of it no problem with addressing minor problems along the way. keep in mind gtrs are not cheap to drive

    It looks fairly stock which is good but until you drive it yourself I would take what he says with a grain of salt cause you don't know him. It seems a little high. The market isn't hot on these things right now. I got mine with 78 k on it for 10 even with a new clutch but I think I got a pretty good deal. And no it's not at the end of it's life, if taken care of it will go alot longer but don't expect not to replace anything it's still an old car. Get a history report. Run the vin. The best thing you can do is find a shop where the car is and get a good mechanic to look at it. I wouldn't buy it until that was done at the very least.
