Gtr R35 At Pickles Prestige Auction 7/6/10

[Angus Smart]

I wont disclose it, but i will disclose that the million dollar 2 door taxi went for 350,000ish he was hoping for 3mil.

[rehab2010]

Why wouldn't you disclose it - its not a state secret. Many of us would love to know. I'm guessing 115K or so.

[Angus Smart]

I'll let Jeff Answer the question if he wants to. it is his car afterall.

$123,000 referred? so I guess it did not reach the reserve and did not sell

That's right, anyone expecting to get anymore than $130,000 for an R35 is just kidding themselves. They were to expensive to begin with, the initial rush of purchases when new is over and the real cost of running/owning or novelty has worn off and they just can't be sold for what people are expecting.

Sadly it is a buyers market right now, if you want it gone ASAP, then you will need to take a hit.

[Gibbo_R35]

The car was passed in at $123,000 however we negotiated it up a bit higher and as such the car is now sold. It did not sell for over $130,000.00

It really is a buyers market, almost every car went for substantially below what was expected. The Aston Martin went for $155,000, they were expecting closer to $180,000

Around $125,000 is where they should be at the moment. So the seller got market value and you paid a reasonable price. Well done to all.

I was the seller and that is exactly what it went for $125,000.

[Kujotk]

everyone is forgetting there is a 3.3% auction fee, 4% or so transfer fee, + rego and whatever else you need so your looking at roughly over $10k for the transfer and auction fee ontop of sale + rego/inspection/green/pink slip/insurance, you did well @ $125k because I wouldn't pay more than $130k includeing all the associated fees, so in the sceme of things you did alright

I wont disclose it, but i will disclose that the million dollar 2 door taxi went for 350,000ish he was hoping for 3mil.

The 2door taxi got $295k, somehow the media got it at $305k?????? now after learning more about the car it shouldn't have been more than $150k, allot of us were under the assumption that because it had previously been registered and that it was meant to be a road going (baby) V8 supercar we thought it still could get rego.

Since learned it will never be able to get rego anywhere in australia, destined for the track as it really isn't sought after as a collectable now ( in conventional collectible standards cars that can not get rego never reach their full value), the finance company should have taken what they got from the Australian NBA basketballer who offered the most for it.

Rubbish car that can't be registered, Typical Holden product, this car won the Bathurst 24hr even though all cars had to be production models

lol. it wasn't me! to be honest I love the 427. one of my favourite cars. if I could afford it I'd consider it. probably wouldn't pay $300K for it though. maybe $180K? It's a pretty cool piece of gear.

such a shame they never got off the ground as a limited production model. I do agree though it was complete bullshit they were allowed to race it in the 24hr which states all cars must be available to the public to buy OR they can invite any car at the organisers discretion. so basically if they like you, you can bring any car you want.

Its not a 427 - its that one-off thing with some V8SC engine, and two seats, roll cage.

Guys, the time has unfortunately come for me to sell the R35, practically of kids and the number of km's I have been doing recently have made it impractical to keep.

Very regretful that it is being sold, but last thing I want is to be putting 30,000km a year on this car.

I have it listed at the Pickles Prestige Auction on the 7th June (Moore Park).

2009 Model

White

23,000km

Willal Mid Pipe.

3m Protective Film

I thought I would jump in before you guys spot it in the next couple of days when it lists.

I think i bought your car. was it sold with Willall Mid Pipe?

the car is doing great and now hit 30,000kms. Tranny and diff fluids got done recently with Willall fluids.

It was a production car.

The 427 that raced at Bathurst 24Hr, was bored, stroked, ran Corvette C5 heads and was a Monaro.

The HRT427 never went into full production, but the original 12 built for crash test purposes made it to Europe.

[nat0z]

You bought it?

nope but been in it, sold for 98k inc fees from memory.

+ transport accross the earth......
