You get what you pay for… Buy a cheapy car, be prepared to spend $$$ fixing it… It can get costly too… For example; most people cannot tell the difference between a good Skyline and a beat one… Yet they try to compare them solely on price… So what happens? Skylines become the next Civic (sorry) and no one can appreciate why one Skyline is worth 25K and another 15K… I cannot stress this enough I get hassled all the time why not a GTR. Well a lot of people just wanna be the big man and drive a GTR, yet its a tigerjap P.o.s worth at most $12000. I would rather drive a MINT, super low K, non repair Nissan Skyline GTS-T than a beat to shit GTR. DO NOT cheap out on the buy if you importing you will regret it… Ask my friend who bought a GTR for I think 14 ish and blew his amazing engine in 2 weeks. The GTS-T is always faster than a blown GTR! --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/jdm-buying-tips/134921)._
