DJBarnstar Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I thought I would make a thread about how much people really pay for there skylines and performance cars as opposed to "My car is worth X amount". There seem to be a huge number of people with hands firmly planted on there dicks about how much there car is worth. I recently got back into a skyline after selling my VE V8 (at a realistic price) and it was a pain in the ass sifting through all the crap that is overpriced. A good example is a guy with an R33 S1 with bolt ons who wants 18K. I'll start with mine. 1996 R33 GTS-T 4 Door. Manual 172000kms Full Xforce Exhaust, K and N filter Nice but not perfect condition. Airbags. $4900 with Rego Post up yours.

045HOW Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 "Nobody wants 4 door 33s". That is why you got your car for the price you did. but yes the retarded prices for the Coupes and Sedans(Considering what i just wrote about them) as well(11K for a turbo 4 door 33 with rims and a few normal mods lol).

DJBarnstar Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 A mate of mine swapped a iron block V8 ford that was worth about 3.5K for a series 1 R33 GTST with bolt ons. The skyline however needed a new clutch, coilpacks and its paint is rough as.

DJBarnstar Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 "Nobody wants 4 door 33s". True, but you cant go past them for bang for buck. Manual turbo power for sub 5K.....

Gerg_R31 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Bought my r31 for $2000, spent about 20k on parts for my heavily worked n/a 26/30, computer, suspension, wheels, brakes, body kit, etc. with the every dollar you pay for parts, you will add 30 cents to the value so my 31 would be valued at about 8k but would prob sell for around 6k if i was to ever sell it (never would, rather auction it off to charity first) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/383359-what-did-you-pay-for-your-skyline-performance-car-recently/#findComment-6117467 Share on other sites More sharing options...
