The car is silver, cherry looking (at least from the ad), with only about 31.5k miles on it. They're asking freakin $42,900! Don't make any sense. I'm still friends with the internet manager so I'll be sure to ask him what the deal is.

Ive seen them sell for that much, but they're usually making around 900whp.

Negative. Granted everyone who is 16 loves them just as much as the Skyline, and they are overrated as being the end all drag car, but I'd say a polished turd is going a tad far.

Its all relative to how you look at it and I see it as a polished turd, therefore my opinion is correct from the way I see it.

I don't mind em, although they are rather heavy. I'd say the reasoning behind the high price is because of the low mileage, good condition, and no mods. There are so many modified cars that it's getting harder and harder to find stock examples in good condition. '95 is also the last year before OBD-II.

The pictures appear to have been taken on a cloudy day, so who knows. Maybe I'll go check it out and say hi to the folks still working there. BTW, Edmunds says dealer retail on this car should be between $21,700 and $23,300. KBB says $24,365.

Yeah yeah yeah, but there's some cars that the KBB doesn't apply to. :blah:
