What Would Be A Fair Asking Price For My Ride?


Recommended Posts

Berin,

I went through this about 8 months ago and agree that you would be pushing to get $20k. Unfortunately there are a lot of cheap 33's for sale out there and every buyer wants something for nothing. I'd strip the easy to remove bits and then stick to your guns for the money you want...eventually someone will buy this prime example and know what it is worth.

Good luck with it :D

As others have said, breaking will recoup some funds and you are probably one of the better placed people to do it with your mechanical skills (unlike me!). It is also better to sell or at least start advertising when you dont really need to sell it as by the time you are desperate to sell (such as having found your new car, need funds etc), you can bet your bottom dollar, you won't sell it for anything reasonable and end up giving it away. My Lexus took 9 months to sell but thats another story.

If you do decide Evo, my advise is not to get any older than a 6 which are mid to high 20's at the mo but they hold their values quite well so aren't dropping a great deal.

Good luck :D

Really? I like Evo V's Al :happy:

I'd be stripping it and selling it in parts man, you'll get a lot more for it that way. Sell it as a nice looking stocker (exhaust/filter type deal) and flog the parts, which will be easy.

also no intent to offend, however the sort of prices ive seen floating around this thread... pwoooaaarrrr "good luck" are about my only words

it depends on weather or not your after a quick sale, or more money in your account! because selling an r33 isnt easy... took me a year!

at $15K with bodykit and 18" rims in allmost immaculate condition my r33 was getting very few bites... and the bites it was getting were people interested in a more modified car!

so perhalps advertise it fully modified first and see how your luck is... but keep in mind people can almost get a 33 gtr for $20k - $26k

They are nice but remember you will be getting into high km territory and these cars werent designed to be driven lightly so the older the car, the more abuse they will likely have encountered and for peace of mind, the $$ increase isnt massive. I could have got a nice 6 for $33K but paid 3K extra and got my 7 which was 2 years newer and 30,000kms less.

two ppl have offered me over 20k in the past 2 weeks. So shit does happen. I was suprised. Now I'm ready for an rb26 conversaion. I love the 2wd action.

quite seriously.... you were a bit silly to have not accepted the $20k.. because you'll never get an offer like that ever again!

r33's are not worth anywhere near that much... unless its an immaculate S2 1998 40th anniversary model with like 10,000km ... even then i wouldnt say 20k... unless that 20k is in your bank account ... its still just an offer... ive had people say they'd give me lots for my car also... when selling time came around... no luck, ended up selling it for 14k and that was 1 year after it was first advertised

im not calling you a liar... im just saying its hard to come to grips with the harsh truth of car depreciation.. i paid $18k for my car 25 months ago... and when i went to sell it i was shocked at what it was worth...

an old saying... "something is only worth what someone is prepaired to pay for it" and with petrol prices going the way its going, p plate laws getting tighter, the age of the car growing older and older... top dollar can no longer be expected... that said however... you may be an exception to the majority... so good luck :unsure:

So true ;),

I've spent over 10k on my shitbox R32gtr and i only got offer for $24k, genuine offered.

Ok i lied :laugh:, GTR ownership will cost you more but you get shit load of fun.

I did spend over 10K but 90% of it went to FUN FACTOR, the rest for fuel, oil, sparkies....clutch lol!

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
