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:

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
