Well it can’t be perfect cosmetically if it’s been in an accident like that.

Here comes to my questions:

1. What would be a fair price for this car? - no clue but take NADA black book pricing and drop 20-30% from that?

2. What should I be aware of when buying a salvage GTR like this? - frame integrity, repair quality (use a magnet to test for excess bondo u less the panels are aluminum) test with paint meter to see extent of paint. Existing GTR issues like transmission etc

Likely could be hard to insure for full coverage due to it being a salvage title, at least cheaply

3. Will an experienced mechanic be able to identify all issues of a salvage car? -If they specialize in GTR’s, they should. I’d also be totally upfront with them so they go in knowing what to look for.

Are GTR’s still all the rage these days?
