ive seen stockers go for as low as 17k, you might wanna look into having it be sold through a car yard, they add there bit on top but you will get what your after. people seem to be willing to pay more to a car yard lol, obviously thats not an option if its your daily though

bit of an exaggeration, but yes the principle is "buy it cheaper and sell it a little higher". They have to make some sort of profit. They do have to cover costs of advertising, wages, servicing + profit.

If you price it well and it isn't a dog then it will sell no matter what the market is like. There will always be a person looking for a good example of these cars...you may just need to wait a bit till they find your ad :nyaanyaa:

Hey guys, just curious...

what you guys think? or is there a statistic regarding R32 GTR in WA?

is it low in supply but high in demand???

Comments please. :nyaanyaa:

Well I just sold mine. In WA too.

It took about a month & I didn't have a huge number of enquiries. Maybe half a dozen. More people wanted it than could either afford it or justify it.

Only one bloke came & looked at it, he was the first & he bought it.

My opinion is that if it is clean, stock(ish), well looked after & reasonable priced you should be able to sell it without a huge amount of drama. It won't be gone in a week & will probably take a few.

The down side is that you will get a raft of time wasters & tossers who will pound you with bizarre questions & expect you to give it away (to them) without them even bothering their arse to come & look at the car. Oddly enough the cheaper the car, the more of these types the ad appears to attract.

Best tip is clean it up & put a coat of polish on it. Make sure it drives well. Most importantly, never, ever underestimate the value of a pretty photo.

I used here & carsales & ended up selling it through car sales. I checked the numbers & approx the same number of people looked at the SAU ad as the carsales ad. Approx 800 of each.

Also ask your mates if they know anyone who wants one.

I was using random number as an example, but i dont think the real numbers will be far off

yes they run a business and the whole point is to profit

i also think modded cars sell quicker then stock, my 180sx sold in 3 hrs of advertising but i had way more pms/emails/phone calls about it compared to my skyline

Doesnt a car yard just buy the car from you? @ like a really really low price 15k?

then sell it for 25k or whatever they sell it for

Not always, i asked a car yard how much they would give me for my car and i didnt like the price so he said i could leave it in the car yard and he would sell it for me and i pay him for doing that, (you still end up with more money than selling him the car) but never did that as it was my daily driver

Depends on the guy at the car yard, some are nice and willing to help and some are just d**k heads

just make sure if you sell a car to yard on consignment they are registered with the Motor vehical industry board for consignment and they have a proper trust fund set up or you could be left high and dry with an unscrupulous dealer

not really an exaggeration, my brother in law got only 4k for his twin turbo 300zx at a dealer, they sold it for over 15k. i know its a different car, but buying a r32 gtr for 13-15 and selling it for 22-25 sounds about right for a dealer.

As for the topic, theres probably only 5 people in all of perth who want an r32 gtr, im one of those 5. No ones likes em cause they are old, and probably thrashed. :thumbsup:

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
