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.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
