Skyline GT-R

I've seen this guy drive around Seattle before. It's pretty sweet.

At the least he could have done a better job with the description of the car.

"CAR HAS NEW EXPENSIVE ALARM W /REMOTE PAGER"

Oh and I'm suprised he is selling it for as little as he is. I mean it cost like what $15K to legalize it here for the states?

I like the bumper sticker "please don't try to race" even though his car is stock and a lot of cars could beat him

^ theres not many stock cars out there with 345 hp, so i think he would beat most cars that would try to race him. even most modded cars are not even close to 345 hp.

on a side note, i think it is kinda ironic how he says the car is "every racer's dream", yet he has a bumper sticker that say "please dont race"

To defend myself, anyone that is going to go up against a skyline usually has the ***** under the hood to keep up at least. That is just my opinion

I dunno. Lord knows I'd love to get my hands on a Skyline, but paying $35k for a car that's almost 8 years old seems a little rediculous. Maybe if I had money coming out of my ears.

Wow I havnt posted in a couple months. Anyway that car isnt going to be leaving many corvettes behind at stoplights, nor svt cobras (390 hp/390 lbs of t) which you can happen to get for around the same price brand new I dont know about M3s im not a huge BMW fan... I have to agree with whoever said 35k is a lot for an 8 year old car.. dont forget about the disorientation of driving on the other side of the car, and shifting with your left hand.


BTW Im not calling it a bad car, just saying I would never spend 35k on it.

The alarm wasn't THAT expensive. . .

My installer at Magnolia HiFi is the one who put it in, I think. Tim called me up to swing by and take a look at it about two months ago. Decent car, but kinda rough around the edges. Needs new paint, some new trim, and the interior wasn't anything to write home about. The condition I saw the car in at the time with that low a mileage would lead me to believe it's been thrashed-on more than it should have been.

Was all authentic, though. . . I couldn't find a piece on it that shouldn't have been there.
