Bayside blue is the only colour for an R34 unless your Toni, who wants yellow.


Clearly

I presumed when you said midnight blue you meant bayside blue. Never heard of midnight blue for a Skyline, well at least an R34

Probly meant Midnight Purple, which has three different versions on the R34, I, II, and III.

MAtt you will have your wish soon.

An r34 Gtr can be had for 20k ish.

Pretty much what a new Golf Gti, Focus ST with a few options, Civic type R etc cost.

So start a little saving and buy one! :) :)

I was going to buy one last month, or a 600bhp Rx7... I bought a motorbike instead! lol :) :)

Im full of great ideas......... Well im full of something anyway! :)

I'm too old to be thinking about saving for a Skyline, and too in debt.

If I could save £20k it would be to pay off my loan not buy another car :(

I have seen very few R34GTRs for sale for £20K. One was a Cat D. The others are all imported non v-specs in white or red.

A nice bayside blue V-Spec is still £25K plus.

There is a UK one for 19k

After that they seem to start at 22k,

At 25k, you will be able to get it for 23k probably. At 23k, its still the same price as a new Focus, Golf and Civic with a few options.

So really its not THAT much, considering there are plenty of these cars going around.

Give it a wee while till the GTR comes out in the UK, then im confident these things will drop in price. Just look at the prices for an R33 right now.

Yes that's the one I referred to above - although it doesn't say in the ad it IS a CatD repaired.

My mates Focus ST3 with a couple of options was about £18k and he got Ford discount taking it down to about £16k IIRC.

For £23k you're looking more at a Golf R32 or the new Focus RS.

This is the official RRP for these cars.

New Focus ST available from £18,545
New Focus ST-2 available from £19,545
New Focus ST-3 available from £20,545

Golf Gti from £20,850 to £22,680.

New R32 from 22,500 to 24,330.

Civic starts at 18k with the Civic Gt 19k

These are from the official websites, so you will probably be able to get it cheaper face to face.



But it puts it in perspective, when you see the amount of these cars around! :)

To be honest, I'd rather pay £20k for a Skyline than £15k for a blood Focus.

You get what you pay for.

Can get an awful lot these days for £20k that's more interesting than a shopping trolley.

I saw that one in Bfd in real life, what an amazing machine. I was so tempted to ring the bank.
