Whats This Worth?

Afternoon all,

I work as a new car salesperson at a Volkswagen dealership and I have a client of mine who is expressing interest in a new VW Golf GTI. He currently owns an Australian delivered R32 GTR which he is looking to sell.

The owner is the 3rd owner and has owned the vehicle since 24,000klms. The car currently has 120,000klms on it with documentation. It is burgandy in colour, completely accident free and is stock standard apart from Bilstein shock absorbers and is mildly lowered. I have run my eye over the car and it is immaculate.

The reason why I ask this question is because neither myself or the owner know what this car is worth in todays market. I turn to the Skyline Australia community for some trusted advice.

Any help would be appreciative.

Well i'd say around 30,000 with documentation,

but really he should have an idea on what it's worth.

Also there is a difference with what someone will pay and what it is worth.

I have no idea what kind of trade in you would offer him though.

New golf's are a damn nice car.

These are 1994 model right ? im guessing he trading in his car i reckon the trade in vaule would be around 19.500-22.000 and if he was to sell it privately he would get ranging from 22,000- 28,000 mabye, 28 would be pushing it i reckon.

The local R32 GTR prices has dropped dramatically due people importing and they are much harder to sell.

Personally I think that the car should sell at least 30k privately. Also as someone pointed out it depends on how much someone is willing to pay for it.

When I got mine about a year ago I paid 32k for it, and it needed a little work to get running nice again. But that’s the price you pay to have a bit of motoring history.

It's an enthusiasts car and worth a lot more to a (true) enthusiast than anyone else. With only 100 Oz spec versions imported (@ $100K+ on the showroom floor) it is a collectors item, esp it if it's original in every way bar suspension (Bilstein's are a plus, of course) plus has verifiable service/owners history. My guess would be anywhere between $30K and $40K for an excellent example, with lower k's fetching a higher price. Trade-in is anyones guess, but probably less than half what its actually worth.

To clarify, $110,000 was the list price of the r32 GTR in Ausralia:

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
