Thank you guys so much for checking out my R32 GT-R. I'm so lucky to be a part of the Hagerty family!
I got that hot wheels too
Beautiful car! Thanks for sharing.
Just like you, when I imported my car to Canada I looked for a clean stock or lightly modified example. Other than the colour mine is very similar spec to yours coil overs, cat back , stock airbox & all. Well I do have 17 BBS LM though.
16 years of ownership & I still love her as much & the day I drove it home from the bonded customs warehouse. Definitely my forever car.
You're an awesome ambassador for the community who love these cars. Keep on driving!
You're awesome man and I can tell you have my taste... or I have your taste so to say 😂 Wish you the best in life man. I hope to be old and broken and to see you in a cherry red R32 still ripping it one day. Hopefully by then I'm able to get one.
You can tell Larry is 100% in love with his car!
So am I!!
I think Larry falls in love with many cars .. 🤣😂🤣😂😍💜☮️💙
My life is simple, I see Larry Chen and Hagerty together so I watch.
Amen!!
Me too.
Larry’s just oozing with passion for his car. Gotta love it
I love Larry for the simple fact that no matter what car it is, he gets it. He understands why the people that like them, like them. I don't think I've ever heard him talk bad about any car because at the end of the day there is a devoted group of people that love them.
When The Appraiser turns into Pawn Stars where he had to call "an expert" Such a gorgeous example of a R32.
The appraiser, redline rebuilds, and revelations are automotive content gold.
Don't forget Icons!
@@j.d.8593 how could I forget
Anything with Cammisa is perfection.
Barn Find Hunter's great too! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
I can't believe how insane the prices of these cars have become. From 2006-2009 I worked for an importer in Toronto that specialized in skylines. We had a few high grade R32 GTRs over the years and not one of them ever sold for more than $25,000 CAD. The most expensive R32 GTR we had sold for $22-ish thousand dollars.
Pricing now is absolutely ridiculous and it pushes a lot of enthusiasts out of the market with these inflated prices. It's a real shame that a lot of people will never be able to obtain something even remotely close to this.
I paid 15 almost 15 years ago. Still got her.
@@weaselman24 that's so awesome. I hope you have it for a long, long time and you take really good care of it. I had an opportunity to buy an FD back in the day for around $9,000 but I didn't end up doing it. Now I regret it.
you could get a r32 gtr in new zealand for like 10-15k 5 years ago no problem
@@dayne500fcf they were already 40 and up in Aus by then for a nice one. GTST'S were still reasonable but R33's were cheaper.
Larry is great. He captures what enthusiasts see.
I'd guessed $65-72k,before he even said what he thought,as the owner.I've liked these cars for years,and hope to own 1 too.The plus is,it's my favorite car to race in while playing Grand Tourismo2.I lost at Nurburgring once because I had the car still set for off-road,and I run that whenever I'm bored,just to do something fun.
Crazy to think my friend bought one of these when they first were allowed for 17k. All these jdm cars are getting priced outta the enthusiasts market. Wild
love to see it!
No way I'm going to believe a MASSIVE car enthusiast like Larry had no clue how much it is worth....
These things were below 30k five years ago and that was a lot.
Prices are changing all the time. Was low, then went up, and now going back down slowly
@@JohnPedder yep, the asset bubble is deflating
If he has no intention to sell it, why would he be paying attention to values?
@@NoBrakes23 content like this, goes for 10 mins, has the possibility to make him a few hundred $$$. If it gets in the millions of views than that’s over 1K in hand. Who knows. Whenever I see a video by people like this that goes over 10mins, when it could easily be reduced, I just think $$$
“It could be worth 8 grand and I wouldn’t care”
That’s the line of a true car guy, doesn’t matter what it’s worth. It’s not for sale.
It's telling that he went the opposite of most people with that statement (most would say "it could be worth 1 million and it wouldn't matter"). He doesn't care what other people think of it, including thinking badly.
“Your flex game is strong”
Anything Larry Chen touches is gold, so this is understandable.
Larry is a trend setter before the interest had been made a trend - it's awesome to see, "The Appraiser" get down and dirty on some JDM content!
It's a beautiful car and you can see that Larry Chen and this R32 GT-R is making one, it's a perfect and genuine match. Great video!
That car is worth WHATEVER the buyer is willing to pay for it.
Facts
Ok in that case it's worth 5 grand
You'd get that on a slow day for it... They're getting so hard to find in stock condition
May 9 2009 I picked mine up for $9000 Canadian. Still can’t believe how much these have went up in value.
Wow, this makes me feel good about mine. I’m convinced me and Larry have the same exact car. Stock, same miles, same color, everything.
What a joy to see someone accomplish what Larry Chen has. I hope he does keep the car forever.
I also hope to run into him at a car event down the road. Good video and thank you Hagerty.
Hagerty ain’t have to flex that damn hard w/ the C3 and the F40 in the background 🥶
Right! And it looks like an LM F40!
Here in Jacksonville Florida. In a parking lot outside a Market. I saw an, "All Carbon Fiber, RHD R34. One of 3 in the world. 1st thing ,I notice was the windshield and back window had stock, gaskets.
Must be the glass and or gaskets may be very hard to come by !
I wouldn’t have ever assumed that any red would suit a 32, but she looks great in that shade, especially on the correct wheels😎👌🏻
Beautiful and awesome car! I totally understand why Larry will never sell it. I wouldn't either if I owned it.
This and the last video with Built by Legends has got my mind racing. When I have the money I wouldn't mind a Midnight Purple II R32 with the R35 DCT & Carbon brakes.
As a '80s '90s kid on the North East Coast. 85,000 in the current crazy car market that we live in for a R32 that's mint as hell. Sounds 20 to 35 grand short. And this one is special too.
Larry has great taste... "Its best version", indeed.
This is my favorite GTR hands down! The red hits differently and looks amazing on the suspension with stock wheels! Wow 🔥🤩
Ok this is going to sound crazy, I've had all kinds of cars, Rx7, Rx8, coupe gc8, mx5, mr2 Spyder, Camaro 1le, and the car that still makes me smile is my 2009 ford focus, I've been through so much with this car I don't see myself ever selling it 🤷♂️.
Dream car. Not the fastest thing out there but I love the look, sound and the 90s Japanese sports car feel. Was lucky to be able to drive one a few years back and I'm kicking myself for not grabbing one 10 years ago when I could have afforded one.
My friend sold his ONE OF ONE California Barred LEft Seater R32 for 90 K last month, I was there to witness it. I was mindblown as it happened.
I'm proud of larry! Best move he can make.
An R32 just sold for $150k at Monterey Car Week 1 day before this video went up.
Truthfully, to me, that is the best looking R32 I've ever seen. Plus the story just ties it all together. That guy really loves that car and it shows.
Larry, I also fell in love with the Skyline. Granturismo was and is still my favorite racing game. I love your car and wht u done and didn't do.✊🏾 Keep it clean my man keep it clean!!
Larry is a modern day motorsport photography legend
Wow.. The cleanest version of my dream car I have ever seen. Woe wow wow
CA CARB certification is about $10-15k plus months of testing and paperwork. That certainly helps the value in California
Honestly makes sense for the price. Idk why he assumed it was less. These are $60k imported. I don’t even know if that’s CA legalized. My friend paid $40k and that’s after the military covered half the fees to import it for him.
But current car prices are beyond inflated. So it makes total sense for this price. If prices went back down to normal pricing I’d say it’s. $65k car with out inflation.
That has gotta be one of the sexiest motors ever in an engine bay..oh my god
I wonder what an official Australian one would be worth. They were only imported in enough numbers to allow it to race in Touring Cars and nissan used the results to further develop their race cars.
I feel like Larry's R32 hits that sweet spot between originality and modified enough (tires, suspension) to be a fun weekend driver.
Cool deal!
I want to hear about the Mach 1 in the background. After work I am going to be working on mine in the garage.
Never seen Hagerty until Larry was featured. Goos stuff
Whoa... having ur own HotWheel is "Kinda fun little thing"!!
AH3 looks great under the bright lights. Larry + Hagerty is on a roll!
Larrys expressions were on point, I probably was a giddy and grinning when I first got to drive an original twin turbo V6 Supra as a kid. Cool that someone tries to keep them stock.
V6?
@@Wirenfeldt1990 My bad, inline 6cyl 3.0L apparently. It was about 30yrs ago and I was going off memory. I guess my teenage self assumed all 6cyl = V6.
This just makes me appreciate and LOVE my S2000 even more ..
I totally get the spirit of this video, but... you expect me to believe Larry Chen didn't know the value of a R32 Nissan GT-R?
did you even watch the video?
@@supraeffective i did. thanks. maybe my issue is with the title.
@@nnaheim. my condolences to the chef
It’s crazy how clean and “brand new” looking Larry’s 32 is even though it’s just his street car! Just imagine how crazier it would’ve been if it was an N1 v spec! Would’ve been gold 🤯
Not a Skyline fan. Honestly I watched is video because I saw the 71/72 Mustang Mach 1 in the thumbnail. It was far more interesting than I expected. Nice car!
I bought my AE86 (1985 GTS Coupe) in '06 for 1500. Now, I have it insured through HAGERTY, at 35K, which I'm still taken back of how the market went. Same, not for sale, but it's very interesting to own one of 'those imports' something I never imagined, but never intended...My Passion is enjoying them and just Driving them!
85k and it'll stay for sale forever. It's a 35-40k car. And even at 40k max, it's hard to sell.
In 2008 I was living in Japan, bought my GT-R (not my first Skyline at all though). It was also my "dream car". It was a prime example, excellent condition, factory wheel, even factory radio. Bought it for all of $8000.
I have been able to own a drive much faster and 'better' cars, but no car I have ever owned or driven sense has produced the happiness and excitement as did that "dream car" GT-R.
What an iconic look, one of my fav cars.
Thank you, Larry.
Idk why I get a tiny feeling looking at Larry's Gt-R reminding me of the forgotten Nissan Primera p10!! What a beauty!!
Awesome video. Larry Chen's love for these cars brings me joy to see.
Tommy just asked him if someone will come with 1 mill. He said he will sell it 😂
You said the best line “I’m just gonna keep it forever cus like what else am I gonna get for that price?”
I have a 2020 GTR I paid $111k new for 2 years ago….. I can’t even buy it used for less than 140-150 now, so unless I wanna get out of the car scene or massively downgrade, what else would I get? May as well keep it forever!!
I love the way in 4:32 there is just a tractor in the back
Hell, why not 100k? I mean people buy it anyway. I sold my R33 GT-R for €15.000 in 2015. Never thought it will be back for sale one day for 70k. I'm so glad I bought my R35 2 years ago before this price madness. People have gone nuts i tell you.
This company makes it hell to grind for certain cars in Gran Tourismo. The Mc Laren F1's are around 19million (almost 12 hours grinding). Yes, they priced it accordingly but they just spiked several cars in game by several million.
I remember looking at car magazines here in the US. In those magazines I would see ads for wheels or car care products. This car was always used in those ads. I would think. Wow what car was that in the Picture? Is it real? I've never seen or heard about this car. All the american magazines never talked about this car. Then I saw this car visiting japn in early 2000s, I was amazed - the car was real. Then I saw this car race against a model 3 performance on youtube. Wow. The car still kicks ass. I'm sure the car that raced the tesla was heavily modified but it sure was a beautiful site to see godzilla move.
The fyeahspec restoration is going to suit this vehicle tremendously
Love you guys to put Larry in this, he's a great guy! I would have guessed $86k for his R32.. Nice video guys! :D
Absolutely wild.
just goes to show if you can dream it, then you can do it. Dreams can be real if you want it bad enough. love this series Hagerty! Nailed it!
I guess I need to call ya about my 19 ZR1 Corvette! its gone up in value…
beautiful car. i like the spirit behind it and the aura it possesses
Priceless. Clean. Awesome car Larry.
Why did the shot @6:27 look like a micro set of your garage & hotwheels car collectibles inside 🤞🏽🔥 very dope shot !
I'm so glad that someone this young still keeps the historical GT-R 32 as long as possible. However my dream car is still a McLaren, a Lambo Huracan or Aventador, Porsche 911.
Based on driving experience (I own a 33 Gtr) no R chassis Nissan is worth more than a 50k, the joy the car gives in a category of driving emotion, sentimental and coolness factor can hold a different value
This car itself is unlike any other stock R32 in the world, specifically because it's owned by Larry Chen and because it is now a legendary premium Hot Wheels car. If i were loaded i'd own a R32, i'd easily give $125,000 for this one and that wouldn't be my ceiling either. I think $85 is low for this car, but i'm a big fan of both Larry and Hot Wheels so i may be bias.
Glad I got mine before the market went crazy. Definitely plan to keep forever as well
Wheel tire setup is so perfect.
Given the cars' provenance, condition, CA certification, and the crazy times we live in, I think $85k is pretty reasonable.
Very nice car with 64k Only! Totally agree with buying an almost stock car , bought an R33 GTST Manual with only 58k that only had a Momo steering wheel and a very nice exhaust system with a premium grade s/s muffler on it in 2003 , there's one mod on this car not mentioned in the video and that is Oil Filter location it looks like it has had a relocation kit fitted
Also looks like there is a Nismo oil catch can on it too!
As many of times I've seen r32 gtr stock wheels, I never realized how good they look until now.
Yooooo a stock r32 in 2022 looks so unreal! 😱
Skyline GTRs are fabulous. I'd love to own one. I'd also keep it mostly stock. I have a soft spot for R33s in particular.
I am so glad that my "Gran Tourismo Car" was a 1996 Corvette LT4 lol
Picked up a mint one with 8,000 miles for 19k a few years back.
I love GTRs as well, but good GOD are they pricy. Beautiful car!
Just a great looking car, mind you I'm biased, I've got an Australian delivery almost bone stock R32 GTR with 134,000kms on the clock, original paint, 2nd owner, Rj in Oz
Even if it's not own by Larry's, the R32 itself is clean and the oem mod style just hit the spot..
It's crazy how much the tiny island of Japan has been able to produce.
The car is in in mint condition. Not surprised at the price appraisal tbh with the current car market.
price are actually going down day by day, but condition always matter and depends on the location aswell.
Hagerty is missing quite a few JDM vehicles on there valuation website surprising they have the R32.
Amazing car….truly.
I met that dude at auto conduct for the Christmas toy drive show I saw it on the thumbnail and I was like there’s no way I might actually have a picture and boom I did and I remember doing a tik tok too
My goal car was always a 996 Turbo, GTR or a 69 GTO Judge - I went to make that a reality during 2020 and ended up just buying a new Supra. Us car guys are something else...
LOVE that color
Hey...It's Larry "Freakn' " Chen!..
Great Upload...Great Car...(and specifically)...Great Guy...
This was fun..
Damn! That’s how I want a R33: OEM+.
The F40 tho..
In Australia - these are going for big big dollars now - I do not see them getting cheaper - they made about 40,000 of these - and a lot of them were lost to the scrap heap. If you want to invest though - the R34 was much much rarer I think only 12,000 - it might seem like a lot - but considering the cult status and that they are popular all over the world - not even considering the performance they can produce - R34s will be extremely valuable.
The appraiser sounds and reminds me of Bob Odenkirk and I’m here for it
