GT R spec Stat Write off water damage only 250km

[Smoke Pursuit]

I'd say the buyer didn't finalise the purchase. Seems a bit odd but it happens.

A wrecker will buy it most likely to part out.
Straight away I can see it being worth a fair bit in parts:

Engine and gearbox: $10,000 if not more
Seats and interior (if not water damaged that is): $4,000
Wheels and tyres: $3,000 - $4,000
Brembo Brakes: $2,000
Body shell and panels: $10,000 at least

Where didn't you understand in water to the windows and the consequences of that immersion for several days ??

I hope it doesn't sell , deserves him right the wrecker/dealer that bought it then trying to sell it for $40,000+ on gumtree too screw over an unexpected guy . . .

I hope he gets stuck with this very expensive paper weight ! Karmas a ******

Like most things on that car, that item probably wont be any good from the effects of being immersed for a couple of days in the 'chemically filled water'.

[MercurySilver]

point taken
surely nearly everything on it is stuffed??

[Shonky.]

I am going to go against the grain a little here and say I don't think 22k seems that far off what it is worth.

What would the striped mechanicals be worth?
Eg diff would be fine yeah?
Engine could be rebuilt cheaply couldn't it and result in about the best transplant for a Cortina/XD etc
Rebuild the brand new auto.

You could clean the leather interior couldn't you?
Rspec stagered wheel and tyre package, gotta be worth 4k to someone?
Brand new GT brakes $2.5k
GT body kit.....probably $10k if you bought it in parts from FPV (front top grill is about $800, bottom grill $900, bumper cover $2400, foglight bezels $460 alone to give you an idea)
All the brand new, perfect hanging panels. 6cly owners love the bonnets....


I don't think 22k is a bargain, but I don't think it is a huge mistake at that price either

It would look good just sitting in the shed.. with fifty of those smelly pine tree things from servo hanging off rear vision mirror...

[jamies]

Wouldnt matter what you replaced or rebuilt... it's going to end in tears..

Sorry to bring up old threads.

Was curious as to what was the end result of this car? Did anyone buy it the second time around? I couldn't find it on the auction website (on the original link on the first page of this thread it says that it is sold).

Also it might be useful information if someone is trying to sell it off and not disclosing it's history.

[EDManual]

any updates anyone??

Going by the link I put up on Post #84 for the re-auctioning (link), it has been sold.
