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?

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
