Hi guys,

I am having unfortunate feelings towards selling my skyline atm. I feel like getting something more practical and easy to live with (eg no cop or epa worries).

I have been browsing the market trying to get an idea and I have seen prices that are extremely low and extremely high. I get the impression it is a real buyers market out there at the moment and have seen people constantly bumping their for sale threads and heavily discounting their sale price. I am guessing all this is either a) through lack of interest, or b) prices set too high.

What are peoples thoughts on the market and more importantly experiences in selling there beloved cars? What would you pay for a 2nd hand: r32, r33, & the equivilent r34 gtst?

The other thought in my head is getting a RWC for a modded car. Is it hard to do? or better to put it to stock and sell cheap with RWC and sell parts separately?

Your thoughts and discussion would be appreciated

Regards

Adam

Yeah its weird times..

Ive been in the market for another skyline since Feb

And it if for sure a buyers market at the moment..And i feel it will get worse..

On car sales yesterday there were 3150 R32/33/34s for sale

Not to mention the 1s on SAU forums

Ive seen people start off asking 36 for a R33 vsec and let it go for 26

On the weekend a guy got 18 for a 33 GTR

Ive seen 33 GTSts going for 10/11

I know a guy with a GTSt sedan in VGC 5 speed you can have it for 8500..with Reg

thats my 2 cents

I sold my gtst late last year for 20k. Yes there are a heap of cheap skylines out there but I'm a firm believer that you get what you pay for. Mine was advertized for 3 months before someone even came to look at it, then I had a couple of dreamers and finally someone who appreciates a car in good nick bought it.

The best thing you can do to get some cash back is remove the expensive mods because no-one pays any extra money for them....then be patient waiting for the right buyer.

Late last year i managed to sell my skyline for $17000.

It is a pain in the ass to sell as there are 1000 more out there. Its a buyers market and if you don't lower your price to something that your going to regret you wont sell it.

definatley a buyers market at the moment.

After chasing down a nice r32GTR 18 months ago i started to wonder on the devaluation and sorta freaked a bit when my 22000 dollar car i was babyn fell away to around the 19000 mark in 6 months ...

Now i can get one for even less with much better AM accesories.

its happening now that unmodified clean low KM Skylines will out value some individuals expencivley modified packages as less and less original cars become available.

As mentioned above, its certainly a buyers market. But that said I looked for 8 months before I saw a 33 that I was happy to look at more than once. There is a huge amount of junk for sale. If you have a quality car, you will eventually find a quality buyer.

Wait till after July, the price on 33/34 Skylines in VIC are going :(

The price for a std 32 gtst may actually go up, not sure what will happen with modified 32's, all depends on how the Police enforce the new laws.

Wonder how many P-platers are driving 32 GTRs :|

Its crazy, i wanna sell my 33, but dont think i will for at least 9 months :(

It seems the more 'compliers' there are for a certain import the more it will depreciate, look at GTi-R's, IMO theyve held up well and so will other cars with less compliers.

my 2 cents :)

my cousin has been looking for a 33 that isn't shit, with some mods.

problem is that you have to filter through a shed load of poo and still it's hard to find a well modified, unmolested 33...

I have an R33 with some mods. I wouldnt call it shit, although I guess shit is relative and is all in the eye of the buyer :worship:

sorry, I should have been more clear - I'm sure yours is nice :(

he's looking for one with possibly a built motor and 250+ kw at the wheels ;)

I should have sold him my old one :(

That's all nice and good, but is he willing to pay the extra or will he turn around and say; "too much man, you could get these now for $12K", to the seller.

In other words is he willing to pay $25K for a $60K modified car? :worship:

its been crazy... im always looking at the market everyday for the last 6 years because i have nothing better to at work... in the last 12 months R33s have dropped like a 2 ton lead testicle and R32s are now the same price if not more in some cases as a similar modified R33.

I saw a Series 2 the other day for $14k... had a bodykit and wheels and zorst and that was about it... when my cousin was looking about 3 years ago that same car would have been around the 18-20k+ mark.

Guess with the current state of our lakes, what with the water crisis, no one wants to buy boats anymore :worship:

i hear you Al, and I've been telling him he'll need to spend.

dammit if I added up all the cash i spent on the car in the last 12 months... I could have another.

i've had mine for sale for about 2 months now, had one person put a deposit down at $22K...but loan fell though.....have had ZERO interest since then. I'm thinking of selling some of the parts off it just so i can justify lower the price closer to the thousands of other 33's out there right now....

sux selling skylines right now, an it isnt going to get any better i dont think

Damn you would have been very lucky to get that 22k.

Yeah it was a huge pain in the ass. Had my skyline for about 3-4months before i even got a phone call.

Then it took about 4 people to have a look until the last one bought it.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
