Hey guys I'm asking what the trade in price for my v35 coupe would be, its getting hard to sell it with some time wasters and low ballers out there so I'm thinking of trading it in + cash for 2 cars (obviously of lower value to the v). So yeah if any one could tell me what region I would be looking at (and yeah I know trade in price is lower than private asking price).

Thanks

Are you in a hurry to sell it, Edi? If not, just be patience, and hold onto your price. When the right buyer comes along and sees your car in pristine condition with extras, he will know what a good car to miss out on.

Good luck with it.

Well, in that case, you can try to do more advertising of your car (papers, forums, websites).

Good luck.

I do agree they are hard for resale purposes (Not much fan base yet).

to be honest mate the going price at the moment for an average to nice 03 model auto is around $22K mark. yes yours has a couple of bits on it but they don't really add to the price. all they do is make it easier to sell at $22K vs one next to it without those bits. trade in at a car dealer you are most likely looking at around $18K-$20K. sad but that is what they are worth now. makes them a good value buyers car.

the simple fact is that they are just not in high demand and there are lots to chose from. supply and demand dictates the prices like everything else.

if the car yard/dealer allows for just cash expect $14-$16k. if you were to trade it in for 2 cars from same yard expect it to be the around that price margin aswell give or take. however if you were to trade it in and pay money on top to buy another car then your trade in will be arounf $17-$19k. that way they can make money of you from the car you wanted to buy as they have already jacked up that price. its a lose lose situation when trading a car in. you'd rather just advertise for the lowest price possible and state *FIRM*. check on carsales for cheapest v35 coupe and if you are desperate advertise a price thats around that lowest region. ateotd it just depends if theres a buyer out there and how LOW your willing to go.

gl with the sale.

I sold my car a few weeks ago. 2003 coupe auto. 33,000km totally stock. Got 28k for it and only advertised it for 2 weeks. It was in mint condition but i think what you put on the ad is very important. Sometimes less is more.. Eg you dont need to tell the buyer that it has ONE new tyre!! Makes it sound like the cars been raped. Photos are important too.. Stick to one set of photo's taken on the same day/location.. Not one from your mates house, one from the burnout pad etc etc.. ezy03 not saying your ad is bad.. but seen some shockers out there. :yes:

I put my car up for sale at the start of the year on carsales. I keep seeing the same cars (v35 coupe, premium, in VIC) for sale alongside mine so they're not selling. I knew when I put it up for sale that it would take some time to sell, it's just a case of waiting for the right buyer I guess so it could be today or in a few months time.

Your more likely to sell it to someone outside SAU. Most people on here already have their pride and joys.. So concentrate on the carsales ad rather then on here. (i didnt even have an ad on SAU at all).. Try to make the ad appeal to a wider audience and dont mention petty things that are wrong with the car.. the buyer will figure that out for himself in due course. These cars can appeal to older buyers too. Old people dont want to hear about mods so try to keep it simple on the ad. If a younger guy is interested in the car, then maybe mention the extra mods. That way they can be used as a sweetener. You wont get more for the car because of the mods anyway. Your pics are ok but maybe try make it like a photoshoot with nice background and get the whole car in the pic (not just the front half or the back half).. Use a good quality camera. Clean the engine bay. Make the cabin smell nice... Good luck! :thumbsup:

one more thing, if you have the standard wheels, i would seriously consider putting them back on and selling the black ones separately.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
