    Thinking of buying...

    Hey guys, First post on the forum here, and wanting to ask some questions about these cars (GN specifically) for one I'm considering purchasing. Aesthetically, I'm a huge fan of the way they look. I've been doing a fair bit of reading on here, and went through the extensive guide that is...
