Trouble Selling Cars?

[Rb20_4valve]

hey i was just wondering if people are having trouble selling there cars atm?

ive been tryin to sell mine for a while now and there just doesnt seem to be many people interested

is there a drop in people wanting imports or is this just a 1 off thing

imput would be very helpfull

thanks stove.

[MMM]

depends where ya advertising i guess... i find cars that advertise on forums and no where else never sell... try autotrader etc paper

[Rb20_4valve]

the only calls come from the autotrader

stove.

not sure if its import related

i got a normal hatchback i have advertised and it aint movin either... grrr

seems to be the normal everywhere, unless your car is abnormally cheap, it will generally take a while to sell.

so many factors could be influencing your sale. Condition, price, kilometers, vehicle history etc.etc It's really just a case of being patient and waiting for the right buyer to come along.

[IMPORTD]

you tried drive.com and carsales.com.au?

Both fairly cheap until it sells

[mitchy_]

its a buyers market at the moment, soo much to choose from.

took couple of months to sell my R33

annoying thing was i paid over $100 for the auto trader 1 week prior to the sale then i get 3 buyers wanted to look after ive sold it

im guessing its all random luck and imports are getting alot cheaper as people are importing ship loads of them

[Nizmo]

mines been advertise for almost two months now:

autotrader

carsales

sunda times

every forum i can think of

just time wasters ..... but the market is flooded wiht skylines so just got to be patient i guess.

Then again a friend of mine tried o sell his jeep and that took 2 months to sell too.

Yerp the importers are killing the private sellers. Why buy one thats here for 17k when u can import one for 12k eh?

[Sleekman]

Well for a S2 R33 u can import them landed, complied, starting at approx 16k?

for the same price u can get a local one without the wait and u can rac inspect it

id say private sellers are killing importers too

[Boostzor]

Yer u might be right. From waht ive seen though teh imports tend to have lower kms (60k or so) vs teh 100k or so on locals.

Though you are right that u can drive teh car now and have less chance of getting lemon. Importers tend to get good cars though most of the time.

[IMPORTD]

perhaps take it off the market for a few weeks and those 'lookers' will think its sold then re-advertise it??

I was also told (took 3mnths to sell my cruiser) that when someone calls act as if you don't want to sell.... People always want what they (think) they can't have

[mitchy_]

ive had my car for semi-sale for a few months now, ive had lots of calls, but no one wants to pay what im asking for it.

ie. i had a guy ring up last week offering me $14,500 for my car, because there are lots of 33's for around that price.

i guess he doesnt realise they have a pod and cat back, whereas mine has a few more dollars spent.

*shrug* im in no great rush to sell it! i just want my god damn bike to stop being delayed

[thorpe84]

there are so many r33's out there!

[rob77]

took me 6 months to sell my r33 a year ago now, it went from $30k down to $20k in the end. The best place i found was autotrader, cost a bit but got the most exposure and calls from them.

Not an import thing mate, i know a couple mates tryign to sell imports and a couple more selling 4 cyl and none are seeling, i recently sold my other car a v8 but was very lucky to get rid of it:

took me 2 months and advertised on carsales n a few other places...

good luck dude, mite have to trade..

[Munkyb0y]

try ebay. the car might not actually sell on bids, but you will get interested parties contacting you, inspecting the car etc.

i've sold a few thru ebay, but always as a private sale outside of ebay bidding.

costs you about 5 bucks to list it.

[ossie_21]

I bought my car stock & have modded it seriously & I haven't got any plans to sell it ever.

Ever.
