Whats It Worth?

[adam1982]

Hi Guys,

Long time reader and almost first time poster,

I've been reading the site for quite a while now and been on a couple of the cruises but alas the time has come for me to sell my baby - As I plan to go to europe in 3 months.

What i'm after is just some help from you guys to determine what my car is worth. Since I bought it, i've never really looked around at pricing on other cars or even into selling it.

Its:

1997 Series 2 R33 M-Spec (Has the usual, full electrics, airbags, climat control, hicas etc)

Bog stock

128,000kms - Still drives like new. (127,300 at the moment and will have its next service before I sell it.)

5spd manual

Heavy duty clutch - replaced at 97,000

Car was imported by Autoworx at 89,000kms - I am the first owner since car registered in Aus

Standard R33 Rims - These are a bit scratched, Came like that when bought (Tires all still good)

Serviced every 10,000kms and Oil + filter changed every 5000

After market POD filter fitted

After market BOV bought but not fitted

Was dyno'd at 210RWHP

20% tint done by TKO tinting

Front bar needs a respray - stone chip below driving lights has flaked a bit + someone clipped the front bar with a shopping trolly (white mark) - Although I will be getting quotes to get this done before selling if possible

Interior is virtually immaculate - Drivers seat has small cut in it (Came like that - im guessing from getting in and out of the car) and there is 2 or 3 small holes under the passenger side dash from what i guess used to be a mobile phone cradle

Car always garaged

Prob more stuff I can write, but this isnt a for sale thread or anything, just more a way for me to get an idea what to advertise it for $$ wise. I've been "thinking" about selling it for a while but due to how much I love my car i've been putting it off, but now europe is only 3 months off i've gotto make sure I am ready to go..

Cheers

Adam

brough one just like this one in July for 16500, with aftermarket wheels, but no GTR spoiler... inside imaculate with 91K's.....but this is Jap K's so .......not that much of a factor.....

but i lived in melbourne at the time (SHIT LOAD of Silver R33 S2 their)...matbe in WA it not that common so better value....

I also got the aftermarket POD, new timming belt change and so no......the guy had it for sale 18500 orginally ....OHH fogot decent Stereo with MP3 playback and pioneer speaker all around (also wiring for AMP and Sub)

Hope it helps

I was looking at a 96 S2 R33 with FMIC, Apexi AVC-R, ~ 140'000ks, 17" rims, suspesion, body kit, exhaust Turbo Timer and BOV.

Was an Auto and the owner was selling it for $14'500

So your one beeing a 5 speed and 97 model should go for around $16500

At the end of the day its worth what ever somebody is willing to pay you for it.

Start high that way you can drop the price if it doesnt sell, just keep in mind that these cars have dropped a heap.

You can import an R34 for alot less than you think these days!

Good luck with the sale mate!

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the replies so far.

Just wanted to add RE Kushil Abeysinghe

The car has a stereo in it at the moment, with an MP3 deck and sub, the stereo will be removed and replaced with the stereo it came with which isnt bad but doesn't do MP3's and i'll be leaving the wiring in for the amp's etc.

Its also had its timing belt changed at the 100k service

Cheers

All I can say about that is be afraid.

Something doesnt come that cheap without something lurking around the courner.

[MMM]

you pay for what you get.. id be buying a skyline on condition and not how many k's or mods its had

[alpinestars]

id go for low ks and condition and no mods

the fun bit is modding the car yourself and learning about it and learning how to do it
