Just sold mine for $7.5k, was a bargain but I wanted it gone. (Sold within 24hrs of going on carsales).

Another thing to note is that with our current (and worsening) economic conditions, and rising fuel prices the value of all cars is going to plummet over the next year. I'd rather sell it cheap now than have it sit around till it naturally dropped to that price in hopes of gaining an extra $1000.

It's psychological more than anything. A 2.5litre engine may not chew through much petrol, but people will always view sports cars (as unsporty as a NA Skyline might be) as fuel guzzlers.

We're lucky though, Skylines (NA in particular) are some what resistant to economic conditions in the sense that most buyers are young with no debt, no mortgage, or dependents (kids, wife, etc) and lets face it, often irrational with their spending.

Someone buy my car for $11k!! Very very good condition!!

lol you guys are funny!

i always say it, and i will say it again

"something is only worth what someone else is prepaired to pay for it"

so when someone offers you less its because they arent prepaired to pay your asking price!

get over it, especially in this economic climate.. you might wanna get used to it!

i personally dont think an n/a will ever be worth more then a turbo one... i don't care what p plate restrictions say!

hello captain obvious... don't you think everyone knows that?

you don't think an N/A will ever be worth more than a turbo, but as an 'economy expert' you should know that the turbo models are equally being sold for the same price and quite often a lot less. however i am quite intrigued as to why you feel that an N/A will never be worth more than a turbo, is it due to its worth in equipment? i.e. turbo, brakes, etc. or due to it's demand? your argument isn't consistent and to me it is you that is funny.

simple facts are that the p-platers' are simply low-balling in hopes of getting a bargain, the problem is that it's not just one guy doing it they are all doing it. this is primarily sparked by people desperate to sell (regardless of condition) and taking the first offer of cash coming their way. it's not so much that they aren't prepared to pay the asking price because of worth, but because they know someone else who got it for that price.

i.e. Mr. A has a massive credit card debt from modding his skyline, plus the fact that the poor economy isn't helping with his fuel bills. So in desperate attempts he tries to sell his car for 12K, nothing, 10K, nothing, 8K nothing. Mr. P-Plate offers a genuine 5K and Mr. A takes it. Mr. P-Plate tells his mates, then his mates go around looking for other people like Mr. A who are desperate to offload and before you know it everyone who's looking to buy is offering no more than 5K because his cousin's brother's retarded boyfriend got a skyline for 5K. however we are not all that desperate to offload.

so it's not that the sellers are expecting too much, but more so the fact that the buyers are expecting far below due to another experience.

last note: if you're going to come in here and preach expertise, at least learn to spell a bit and i'll take you a little more seriously.
