Hi everyone,

I'm looking to get a new car end of the year.. probably a Civic or something.. and would just like to ask some of you to post your comments on how much my car is worth if i trade it in, and how much i would be able to get it privately.

It's been well looked after, as I am the 2nd owner since new. I bought the car at 200k mileage.

Since then, I've serviced it every 7-8k and also did the major service at 200k on the day i bought the car cause I didn't want to risk anything.

The car is basically average condition considering its age. Electrics are all still working fine. Mechanically the car sounds really good.

Here's a short list:

White Toyota Vienta Grande 1997 MCV20R (July)

Mileage 221kms

Full Leather Interior

Sunroof

Pioneer 2 Din DVD Player (I installed it at Audio Arts)

Auto

15" Alloys Standard

6 Speaker stereo

ABS

Climate Control

Alarm

Central Locking

Cruise Control

Electric Seats for Driver and Passenger

Woodgrain Dash

Changed all 4 brand new tyres 1000km's ago

There is a dent on the driver's side door which was damaged by the previous owner. I couldn't be stuffed to fix the exterior as I use it for daily and all that matters for me is comfort(interior) and mechanically.

Besides the usual small dint's and paint chips due to the age, there's nothing else I can see on the car.

The car has average mileage considering it is 11 years old which makes it having an average of 20kms per year.

Feel free to post up prices and as the topic states.. its mainly an expression of interest as I am only looking to sell the car end of Nov/Dec.

Cheers :thumbsup:

Bernard

it was worth a shot :ninja:. Add to the "Get Rhys a turbo fund" hehehe

Hehe..

Sooooo.. how much u reckon I can get for my car? Reasonably... cause its mechanically sound and runs real smooth..

Its more for people that want a comfortable, luxurious, daily.. :)

I remember seeing this on the Poker Run, not a bad car for a Camry.

Thats the pricing for a Conquest because I couldnt find your exact model, but if you add $2k to that price to get what the Conquest is really worth, then add another $3k for your model...

About $10-11,000 as a rough guess

Awesome. Rhys has started the first possible price (10k-11k) :dry:

Anyone else?

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
