Help With Buying A Car

[S T A R 3 3]

Hi guys,

I'm at the stage where I'm in a position where I have to sell my car due to financial reasons.

I'm asking for $16,000 - do you think that is reasonable for my R33 GtsT?

So here are some details

1996 R33 S2 GTS-T

98,000+ km

Tein coilovers

18" Work emotion wheels

Turbo back exhaust

Splitfire coilpacks

Pictures are here on members rides (scroll down abit)

16 sounds reasonable......then just wait for the best offer

I cant even sell mine for 20 or 19 but mind you people prefer stocker to start mods.

i think that's about right. Only thing that might put some people off is if you havent already done the 100,000km service as it's a costly one from what i hear.

If its still as clean and in good condition as in the pictures you posted I think its a good price to be asking with such low Km and modifications, thats what I paid for mine a couple of months ago.

If you need or want to get rid of the Work CR Kai's before you sell the car PM me and I'll probably buy them depending on condition.

You own the car outright dont you? (no loan repayments)

Give it a few weeks when you have another job and then see if you want to sell it

cheers for the info guys...

yeah the wheels unfortunately have been victim to the civic underground parking.. and have suffered some gutter rash.. anger.

the car is also rego'd til 4/2008

[S T A R 3 3]

thanks for all your input guys..

ive put it up on the classi section here

so tell people about it and what not.. and yes. YAY!

[S T A R 3 3]

just a general question.... does the price vary on engineer certs? depending on how much mods, type of car.. or is it a flat rate?

[Michele]

There is someone here in Canberra who travels to Autostyle in Sydney to do their engineering... AutoStyle said they would let me get it done for what it costs them (it was a car I was looking at in their shop) and I thought they said about $500/$550. They would normally put mark-up on that if it wasn't one of their cars.

They didn't give me a name of the guy down here, but if someone knows who he is, it might be worth a try. You could always call them and ask who they use for engineering.

My brother had to get an engineer cirt for his coilovers just recently. Ray at Canberra Motorworks did it, I think it cost him around $350. I'm pretty sure the price varies depending on your mods and how much work the engineer has to do. I might be wrong though.

[S T A R 3 3]

cool thanks guys! I'm only asking because my old man wants to get a ute, but I want him to get one of these bad boys!

I can only assume that these aren't straight off the showroom floor, so they would have to be engineered to be 20ft off the ground.

I dont want him to if it causes him all the grief of DICKSon.

I contacted the seller of the above testosterone filled hilux and asked whether or not it came with an engineer's certificate.

The reply was:

No she doesn't have an engineers certificate. You just need to take her to

an NRMA and they will certify her for the modifications.

Ta

The car is currently in NSW, so I will have to have it inspected before putting it in my name - right?

..now I don't know how to take that. Does that mean that a certificate isn't required, but NRMA will provide something that I can show for the inspection? Or regardless of what NRMA can certify, anything modified will need an engineer's certificate?

Hmm.. pondering. Any assistance will be awesomeness.

(and I assume when she replies 'her', she means the truck - not the owner?)
