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?

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
