My dad has a dealership here in Toronto so I thought id share what I came across when I was going through our next week's purchase watch list.... its a 2009 Skyline GTR. I might get it, not 100% yet. Ignore the repaircost, thats the insurance estimated rate which is usually double/triple the real repair cost.

Looks like it could have been damaged in transport....It can't be titled/registered if such is the case, which is why it has a salvage title. Whoever it went to from there probably removed the damaged parts for resale, and will sell the rest complete.
i worked for an auto recycling company for a while, we would get in similar cars from time to time.

I believe you can get it registered, i don't know what the laws are in mass, but here all you have to do is get an anti-theft inspection from the state once the vehicle is repaired and you are issued a rebuilt titled.
Nice find and that seems like a steal of a lifetime, i wouldn't hesitate on that one if i were you.

I must have wrote that wrong...I meant it can not be titled/registered as a NEW vehicle if it is damaged in transport.
I wonder what the cost of the parts needed to complete it are...
In Ontario, you just need to do a wheel alignment, mechanical safety, structural safety, and emissions test and the car can be registered as "Rebuilt" (That means its an accident-repair).
Nice find, hope you win the bidding. Betting the car will go in the high 30's or low 40's, probably a Nissan dealer will buy it and have their own shop rebuild it and make some decent $$$$$$$$
