Guest pedro7680 Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Hi everyone, just been researching this forum after deciding to sell my skyline and become a supra owner. although ive potentially just found my ideal purchase. a p reg non turbo, slightly modified coming in at 5995. not sure if this is a bit steep or not. but what im wondering is. if any of you guys, can point me towards the main common faults and things to look for. and also it shows 144000 MILES .. on the digital milometer, and does clearly state MILES. and the speedo is showing as Miles also. i think this is just a bit too high, but the salesperson has stated it is 144000 kilometers... skyline dashes were the same from the imports but they werent digital????.. thanks in advance. and i look forward to joining this group ASAP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Hi Pedro, welcome to the forum. I was just going to say, to me, around £6k for an NA with 144k miles is very expensive... even if its miles thats around 80k? still pricey imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 mate if it is miles, there is no need to worry as such, mine is an NA and is a 120,000 miles (imported with 3,000 km). If its a dealer ask him to see the import receipt and ask him when it was changed to miles as no way it is all miles or Kilometres If you can find out when the car was imported you'll get a good idea of how many was kilometres. Mines an N reg with 120,000 miles so i would say it is probably below 100,000 miles but thats just a guestimate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks too expensive, nice looking car though. For you infomation the rear wing is made by C-West, the front and rear bumpers by a Japanese company called Wise Sports.

hadyn Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 6k can buy you a twin turbo import auto mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 6k can buy you a twin turbo import auto mate If you are very lucky and catch someone who needs the cash. Also, you better have it checked over twice, a lot of cars are cheap for a reason. This doesn't mean that you can't pick up a bargain though, just be careful.
