Having put my car up for sale last week it has generated huge interested, loads of questions and only one cash offer which was a joke. But I have been offered the following in PX:

R34GTR
3 x Evo's
1 x E46 M3

so I can only assume that the market is dead.

yeah I had thought similar Gaz, the R34 doesnt appeal as I may as well keep the Supra as I will only start playing, and I think they are a little more fragile.

The E46 I have to top up slightly with Cash,and it's whether I want to do that as the seems to be dropping like stones. What I would really like is an RS4, but doubt a car like mine would appeal to your average RS4 owner.

I think supply outstrips demand at the moment due to the number of imports coming in.

I heard last week that R34 GTRs (and possibly other cars) can now be brought in under an ESVA loophole, which was good news

I am aware that you can bring in R34's as campervans but this is a long winded route and someone would only do if they really, really wanted a Skyline

Makes a change from the usual vee-dub's I guess!

I now have this image in my head of an elderly couple pottering along in a bling'd-up GT-R, husband with flat cap and pipe, the missus making a cup of tea in the back...

There is a new loophole.... We can source them to order and register in UK.

yes cheeky little loop hole has popped up


No idea what the loophole is, I imagine the importers will want to keep it quiet.

Terry, I've said this before, but I'll say it again.

That is a sodding lovely car mate. Fab spec too.

If I was in the market for a Souper, I'd be having your hand off.

Have noticed a growing trend for buyers being excessively aggressive in haggling down prices, stick to your guns & good luck.

No TBH, the only piss taker has been a trader, who has a lesser spec'd, high milage, 5 year older, auto car up for similar money LOL.
