Goodbye Mud-mobile

[Mud]

It's official.

My Skyline, formerly known as MUD76, is now in new hands.

She served me well for 5 long years, but times change and it was no longer practical for me.

I have had my heart set on a V35 for ages but I will hold off on a car for a while (will use money to invest in a couple of short term projects).

I will continue to MOD and be a as active as I can with SAU QLD in the short term.

In the mid - long term I will look to pass on the Mod battern, so I'll keep my eye out and make a recomendation to admins when I've had enough and decide to leave.

(I told myself I wouldn't cry)

Cheers

Bye bye mud mobile, hello V35

[Revhead]

Upgrade! Scooter -> bike

Seriously though best of luck, and let us know what you end up with next

[markimak]

one less boat hope u got what u wanted for it.. pitty bout the market lately

[Col-GTSX]

Yeah the market sucks atm...

But thats only cause the AUD is very strong against the Greenback atm...

Give it a few months and the price of imports will rise again a solid 15%...

I think ill hang onto mine until the US dollar re-gains strength...

What a load of shit!

How does the US dollar effect the price of cars that are already in the country?

Actually how does it effect the price of cars coming from Japan either?

If anything, a strong $AU makes things cheaper from overseas.

Back on topic

I felt I got a reasonable price and a pretty quick sale.

[Rhinorebel]

You will miss it terribly Mud and you know it. Even the comfort of the V35 won't replace it!!

You can ride in mine now and then if you feel the urge.

Even the comfort of the V35 won't replace it!!

but the v35 is ohhhh so comfy!! maybe not for oversized behemoths?

wish you well in your short term endeavours muddy

[ZENNON]

thinks its more supply and demand

there are/were HEAPS of skylines imnported

ie down we go along the supply curve

ie prices go down

ps. nice car mud - best of luck with your projects

[frankxinyu]

i think the worse is yet to come.

the aud at one stage was traded at 1:1 to USD..

i think this will happen again due to the recent economy boom australia is having.....

so yeah good news is the imports will be cheaper, not just cars, anything....

If anything, a strong $AU makes things cheaper from overseas.

Stronger $AU means cheaper importation which means cheaper prices on resale from both the cars coming in and the cars already here.

However, the primary problem with import resale is basic supply and demand. There were so many skylines and like vehicles imported pre the 89 ruling that they are now effectively a dime a dozen and nothing will change that. The price will level, but not rise and once they get older it will just continue to fall. Not to mention with the new P plate laws, the price will continue to fall as the next generation of teenagers realise they can't buy a skyline which, like it or not, accounts for much or at least some of the skyline market. Unfortunately for sellers the days of 20k r33's are well and truly gone, good for buyers though.

[Mud]

yeah,I suppose that makes sense,

sorry COL!!!
