Default Nissan skyline?

well, im still looking at buying a used car and i came across a 1991 nissan skyline gts type m. here is wat the previous owner has done to it: KMs : 113,000

Does anyone that knows about skylines think this car would be fairly reliable, or is there too many mods to be worthy of purchasing. I donot want to be fixing things constantly, but i have always wanted one of these cars. And what about parts, how hard are they to find for these cars, I hear they have a ton of aftermarket support. But really, all I want to know is is this car fairly RELIABLE? People on various owner forums and such say they are but......... BTW he wants 8900 for it.
Thanks for any help

So long as it's not a scam, and you think the price is fair, go for it. They're bulletproof.

The major thing is the car street legal and does it pass emitions..... if you can't register it or drive it legally it's not worth any price..

yea. idk if right hand drive cars are legal in the states. Not sure where youre located, but i agree with BlackDX, if you cant drive it on the streets it aint worth it. Still, Skylines FTW
