Skyline buy up in the air

Asked by Mary Smith

MY SON has a chance to buy a manual 1990 Nissan Skyline. It has done 278,000km, but the motor is in good condition, has no oil leaks and has been serviced regularly. Could you advise if it would be a good buy and what its value might be.

THE Skyline was a good, solid car in virtually all respects, particularly the 1988 Series III. The main complaint was a noisy diff, which was more of an annoyance than a serious mechanical defect. But at almost 300,000km, mechanical failures are more likely. It is valued at $3500-$4000, dependent on condition.
