If I was a mining magnate, I'd be aiming for an R35 minimum or just go straight to the top and get a Veyron. There would be a 2 door A9X sitting next to that as well. Talk about having 2 cars which are world's apart in many ways :)

Richard - was the owner you spoke to the second owner?

Yes - It wasn't Skaife, It was Terry

His wife drives the GTR R34 Vspecii Nur very well.

(and she likes my 32 a lot which made me feel all good inside)

Edit: I would have put money on Bob buying it :thumbsup:

Looks like the R34 GTR NUR also advertised by the same owner is also unavailable.

So the cheapest ADM 32 on the market is $45k. Is this the benchmark starting point from here on?

No....... The Newcastle car is still there..... http://www.carpoint.com.au/all-cars/private/details.aspx?R=SSE-AD-2034330&Cr=3

Bob.

Yeah........ Sorry my mistake.

Yes.... but that car has been for sale for ages.

We simply need a great example to go through a Shannons auction and the sold price becomes the yardstick.

It will happen in time, It always does.

Bob.

Exactly, that gtr is not a good benchmark due to high km, respray is not factory colour, reupholstered seats and general wear & tear looks like it has been used a lot BUT at least the owner enjoyed the car :)

I more looking at the dollars. If high k average cars are starting at $45k then I am a happy man, but then again, someone actually needs to buy it for around that money to make it real.

I understand that Shannon's had issue's getting over $40k for the last ADM they had at Auction (18months to 2yrs back?)

Has anyone managed to have theirs insured for over say $45k over this time?

I also believe they don't insure JDM's no matter the condition for over $35k.

I bought my ADM for $53,500 from a Shannons Auction in November 2010 so they could hardly argue about the price.

The last one that sold through them is owned by a forum member.

IMHO - Good original cars with low mileage (under 60,000 kms) that are fully documented are worth $60K, so make adjustments from that base price.

Bob.

    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
