drone007 Posted December 29, 2002 Share Posted December 29, 2002 i'll have to whip out my matt monet link to his 10 sec stealth...no nitrous. haha, nice quote matt and mike from altered atmosphere (right here in maryland) are fighting it out for the record... they keep getting faster and faster. and that's in their 3800 street outfits. maybe you should go out and buy 3kgt, the bases and sl's are not that expensive.

optional187 Posted December 29, 2002 Share Posted December 29, 2002 yeah man, i really really want one. thing is that i'm only 16 and i make 6.75 an hour at my job...getting about 20 hours a week on average. thats about 120 bucks after taxes and crap. i'll get one soon enough though.

drone007 Posted December 29, 2002 Share Posted December 29, 2002 i guess the only thing is that if you're holding out for a VR4, you gotta make more money. but i'm just like you, and this car is not expensive really. premium gas tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted December 29, 2002 Share Posted December 29, 2002 i put premium gas in my honda anyways...but yeah, when i get a 3kgt i'm gonna get a vr4. i expect to pay around 13 grand for it (i want to find a newer one...maybe 97 or if i'm extremely lucky i'll find one of the last 98 year models) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drone007 Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 hmmm. yeah well in my searches, the first gens. are def. the ones to get if you're restricted by price. the tricky thing w/ waiting for the 97-99s is that the car is discontinued. who knows how the price will go up in the coming years...but then again, the reason they stopped the car in the first place was b/c there was a small market for them, so maybe their prices will drop... i dunno.

optional187 Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 yeah man, last year i used to do a LOT of research into the 3kgt's (i had a boring class with access to a computer...need i say more?). from what i have found is that you can expect to pay about 13-20k for a 97-99. but i'll probably end up getting one in the 94-96 year range. a 94 would pretty much be perfect for me now that i think about it. how much did you pay for your sl? you got an sl right? right now i think i could expect to pay around 10 grand for a 94 vr4, but in the next few years the prices could either go up, go down, or stay the same. like you said.

drone007 Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 i payed 8k for my car. it's a base model, not an sl. it had 79k miles on it, good condition, the guy never did any mods, but he did the maintenence on it. but yeah, the 94's are great. my car weighs 3197lbs, which is one of the lightest models of 3000gts. if youre into all the cool gadgets and moonroofs and stereos, then go ahead and get an sl. but you'll gain some weight from it. i chose the base cuz i still get the looks of the sl's and i save some weight.
