    There are a few skyline owners kicking around, I think most will agree it's an awesome car to drive. The performance of the GTS-T is good, about what you'd expect from a 2.0 liter turbo. The handling on the car is unreal, as it has intelligent four-wheel steering. As for the price ranges on GTS-T's, check out these importer's sites:

    thanks Mig_Master

    i checked those sites out , yeah the cars are too costly there and they dont seem to have any stock here in canada .

    i will check my acounts and bid , its going really cheap it seems , and the car really really looks good in the pictures and its just in mississauga, i can drive away with it tomorow and enjoy whats left of the summer with it. :-)

    does anyone else on beyond.ca owns this type of car? that would like to comment on it?

    There's a few Skyines for sale right here on Beyond. You can see them in person before buying, which is a rather large advantage over the auction.

    A quick search found this one:

    ****USE EXTRME CAUTION IF YOU ARE BUYING A CAR FROM EBAY****

    You got more balls then I do I have heard real nightmares about Auto Purchases on eBay. I would get in touch with the seller and tell him you want an inspection done and find a garage close to his house. A reputable seller will try and accomadate you. If not walk away


    You may end up

    It looks cheap, but it also hasn't hit it's reserve yet. Like people are saying, you'll want to inspect the car in person first. Treat it like any other used car purchase. If the owner won't let you, that should tell you that something's wrong with it. Just walk away at that point. One other factor to consider is your insurance. I can't imagine a car like this is cheap to insure. I'd look in to that at well before bidding.

    Let me guess, when you were driving and the BOV went off, you had a huge grin on your face and he looked over at you and knew u wanted it...

    Basically, you love the car, he loves you cause you love his POS and will buy it, so now the price war begins.

    this is a skyline , not a regal or whatever POS you are driving .

    Even for the high milage, it is in excellent condition, better than most Skyline's I've seen and brought over. Depending on what the reserve price is, this is an excellent deal. As for the aero kits, I'd perfer without anyways, as some of the kits don't look too good. Kakimoto and Do Luck make good aero kits if you are interested.

    Regals arent POS. They can be made faster then any skyline on the road without much money at all.

    So you're buying a car because of the sound of the BOV and because a huge inter-cooler will make it look sweeet ??

    I would not pay more than 9K for that. Plus its registered in Nova Scotia which mean have the pleasure of having an out of province inspection done in Ontario which is such a blast.
