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:

      Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.
