Are prices on used big build gtrs skyrocketing? Have noticed not that many big builds are coming out as before then I see this and I'm thinking wtf is this. Am I missing something?

Lol no way will it sell for near that price. Not even close.

With 90k miles on the chassis. NO WAY!

Ronin1099 · Nov 11, 2015

120k if he is lucky. Most people want to buy stock and tune themselves or don't tune at all. Not even talking about passing a smog check down the road.

I've posted a question about passing a smog check having a built motor etc a week ago on this forum, not a single tuner has responded yet.

Ronin1099 · Nov 11, 2015

I just saw 90k miles, seller must of made a typo about the miles or must be out of his mind!
I wouldn't pay 80k for that.

The guy that just had that build completed and he is on this form. He wants to do an A16 build now, so he says... Totally agree that price is a pipe dream...

Ok that's what I was assuming since there is certain stuff I thought was missing like it only having a sportsman clutches, stock crank, no axles, 485s in the factory basket, cobb and 6 injectors etc. The majority of that is stuff u would anticipate seeing in a all out A12 build.

This looks like the car to me: http://gtrlife.com/forums/topic/150490-2013-nissan-gt-r-black-edition-alpha12-1260whp-build-by-forged-performance/

Shit I bought my TE brand new for 117 at the time and all mods plus the car was around $265,000. And that's everything including the kitchen sink and the nicest stuff on the market.
Guy is NUTS.

he can have my 15 less than 1000 mile a16 for that money if he sells it lol

Some peoples want to get rich quick. I would never buy a built GTR anyways. Get a clean high mileage GTR and start from there. It's senseless to buy new if you're tearing all the new parts off anyways.

I'm 95% certain this is the guy who bought your car so you can understand my confusion.

This guy is crazy. And not for nothing, I am very familiar with this member all the way back to maxima.org when I tried to buy some I30 seats for my maxima from him in 2003. Everything he has sold over the years from the maxima forum, to g35 up to now has been overpriced. If you search his for sale threads on this site you will see that each thread has members questioning his prices. Either way, good luck to him!

I believe you would be correct.

So you guys are saying he bought Nike's A12 (loved that car) sold it then bought another gtr and had an A12 built by forged???

Now that I think about it he mentioned in a thread this is his second A12.

LMAO--THIS is funny. People like that baffle me. They truly think they are going to get every dime they dumped into a car back.

Nothing against forged but a car built by step is like the Mona Lisa. Of all the build threads I have read up going back to maybe 2010 on this forum i have only seen two cars built by Shep. Your A9 and A12. (I think he did your A9) Can't believe he sold the A12...smh.

Yeah he built both of them. He is honestly one of the absolute best guys in the industry. He doesn't do builds but we have a very good relationship so he wanted to do them. I regret selling that A12. It was absolutely PERFECT in every way.
Don't worry, Shep and I will be in on more builds together

220k A12? Big build prices
