^ I know R34 GT-R is pretty cool but $62,000 with 71,000kms kinda seems outrageous for a 15 year old car.

You could buy a Ferrari 360 Modena for that price.

Perfectly fine, just had to wire some temporary DRL's haha. The inspector also was questioning why the other reverse light didn't work.

That GT-R from Alberta is nice.

Too bad how 15 year old cars are more attractive than current cars like 370Z and FRS.

Back in 1999(the year of that GT-R), 15 year old car was 1984...and there's no way 1984 cars were more attractive than brand new 1999 cars.

it has been to the thursday meets, and those who have seen it say it is a very clean car. it has a clean auction sheet and the mileage is legit as well according to the SAU website because an importer posted all the info before it sold and came here.

what is unfortunate is the price, as it is being sold on consignment by that dealer who placed the ad

for just a few $k more you could get this instead (which was also at the thurs meets):
