If you are collector of diecast car models.

which brand is the best for details.

That depends on how much you're willing to spend per car.

Give me a ball-park figure and I'll get back to you on this later today.

I can't help you with the Skyline, but I can definitely get you a Ford GT. The only catch is I'm not 100% certain it comes in red, though. That was the most popular colour. Just in case, are there any other colours you'd like it in?

As for price: It'll cost you pretty close to your maximum, but the quality is second to none.

Let me know what you think...

It's a 1/18 Auto Art Ford GT, MISB.

Are you looking for one in another scale?

[TTT]

The 1/18 Auto Art Ford GT does come in red (white stripes I think), nice car, retails about $60-$90 I belive.
I bought one in 2003.
Skylines are much harder to find.

[TTT]

EDIT:

Check duncalfem on eBay.ca you can get both cars, check his completed listings, tons of diff. Skylines !
Plus the red GT avrg. price about $20.00 U.S. ..... but so is shipping......check shipping prices before you bid !

TTT

I'm not too sure Auto Art is the best brand out there. I have to research into it more. But i do think its good and i want this one:

and this one:
http://www.aa-collection.com/cgi-bin/autoartshopping/77356.html

can you match close to "AA collection's" price jetfire??

[Jetfire Maximus]

EDIT:

For an Auto Art? You can't even get a boxed Hot Wheels 1/18 for under $25!

I'll see if I can find a Ford GT from any other brand and get back to you. It's not my item for sale, so I have no say on pricing.

Thats the same red GT Auto Art on eBay.ca for around $25.00, retails for about $80.00 U.S. The Skyline you show is about $20.00 on eBay, retails for about $95.00 U.S. Check the eBay sellers completed items: duncalfem, its all listed there.
Up to you, how much do you wanna spend for the exact same item ?

Now, if you REALLY wanna spend $200.00 and get you're moneys worth search Exoto (ebay.ca)they do the red GT but it is about $200.00 and you really get your moneys worth, detail is INSANE ! ! !

Why don't you check for yourself ? :eek:
It pays to shop around........as I said around $20.00, much less for the Skyline.

The above post contains so many errors I don't even know where to start correcting!

First off, the cheapest 1/18 Auto Art Ford GT currently available on http://www.ebay.ca/ (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=1693881&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.ca%2F) costs $76. Secondly, pretty much all of Duncalfem's auctions cost no more than $2.15 and many haven't gotten a single bid (Why am I not surprised?). And last but not least, there aren't any 1/18 Exoto Ford GTs available on http://www.ebay.ca/ (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=1693881&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.ca%2F), only Shelby competition GT40 MkIIs or MkIVs.

It's your choice, Chisau: You can either buy from the source TTT mentioned or purchase the car through me. However, I can promise you that my source is 150% better than anyone you'll ever find on EBay.

Enough said.

[chisau]

Ok, we when off topic a little. Where i plan to buy the model from is not important right now. The main purpose of this post is to find out which company makes the best models period. I've check out Exoto, they don't make the cars i want. which is the red ford GT (new ones) and skyline R34 Z-tune.

So is Auto Art the best model for collectors?? or is there better models out there for these 2 cars?? lets answer these questions before anything else.

thanks

[TTT]

Yup go with AA, go with current prices though.
Goodluck !

I only just started to collect 1:18 scale Ferraris. I might get into Lambos but so far just Ferraris only

If you're ever having any trouble finding a particular car, just let me know. I could most likely find whatever it is you're looking for.

[Protoman]

I personally own some 1/18 scale Auto Art stuff and it's pretty high quality for what you get (Impreza WRX, Replica of Porsche from Le Mans, Datsun 300ZX, ect). The prices on ebay range from 30 to 100 bucks but it's worth it cause very few other diecast replicas have this much detail and range of cars, and yes they do Skylines

[Nerroth]

I don't suppose Binaltechs count for this, do they?
