I'm having a lot of hassle finding a nice R33 GTR...
Apart from the fact that everyone seems to want R33's at the moment, when I actually see a car for sale I generally expect it to be at least roughly what the advertiser has described. With skylines this doesn't seem to be true. I've looked at one car advertised as a 96 which was actually a 95 - the V5 says 95 so why describe it as 1996??? I looked at another where the dealer insisted it was a V Spec (it wasn't!) with over 500bhp, yet running standard turbos apparently
. Another where the car was listed in Autotrader @ £20k, upon calling the owner says there is a mistake with ad and it should be £24.5k
And finally to top it all off this week a lovely sounding car, apparently a 1998 with leather, turns out to be 1995 without leather and 11k more than advertised. I've never had this much trouble finding a car before, did everyone else have similar experiences trying to find one? Its getting quite frustrating, I've looked at a few cars now and still not found what I actually want available for me to buy!
