Default Skylines.. The new scooby???

R33 GTS-T's can be had for under £3k, R33 GTR's i've seen for under £9k. Are these the new Scooby?

I see a Skyline pretty much everyday. Are these heading in the same way as the Scooby, with their ever increasing popularity and dropping prices?

New Scooby in what way?
Cheap and easy to find fast car?
Surely the Scooby is the new Pulsar GTIR, which is the new Saff Cossie, etc etc etc, its how cars are.

More and more evo's as well which is a shame.
The only good thing is the roads are becoming more reliable.

Try running and servicing one

Cheap car to buy etc, but big money on everthing else..........

Have you ever heard of the skyline tax?

i know everythings evolved from the cossie in terms of being "the new", but Skylines (the lower spec ones especially) seem to be becoming more and more common because of the lower prices, because of the influx of them being imported, much like the scooby.

Won't be regarded as the new scoob IMO - there will never been enough on the road.. - you see a scoob every journey, but you won't see a Skyline...

there are 251 skylines forsale on PH.com and 705 Impreza's.

i know thats not an accurate represenation of the whole country, but just it does show that there are a few old number forsale, hence price drops etc.

I think they'll become more and more popular myself in the fullness of time..

I cant see them being as bad as the scooby or evo. Well, not any time in the near future anyway. They have seemed to have become a bit more common although you still dont see them often.

general idea whn i asked this on gtroc is that as there are follods of GTR33 and GTS T s coming into the uk, its actually making the price of the GTR32 hold up...and in the past few months, some said the prices have even gone up very slightly

which is good news for me as i have a gtr32
