T4NK Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 suprised i havent seen you on the coast b4, but i bought my V35 same as yours 03 model in silver of 19k with the same KM on the clock ur going to be looking at 20-23k at the most for it. now with mine at 113,000KM i would be lucky to get 20k for it.

sonicii Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 It sucks, but I have to agree, for $25-26k, you could probably get a 6sp premium with sub 50,000km on it. Not a fan of the debadged look either, but that is just personal taste.

n15m0 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 guys cut him some slack...everyone knows you probably won't get the price you start at when selling online...gives room for low ballers. If he starts his price at 22k, some dickhead will probably offer him 18K. At the end of the day it will sell for whatever people are willing to pay or depends on how desperate the seller is.

sonicii Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 fair enough, we sold my wife's corolla on car sales for the asking price in 1 week, because we put a reasonable price for it, but I guess if you are in no rush you can price it high and hope for the best. But if you price it too high you will turn off the genuine buyers who would feel like they are 'low balling' when offering a reasonable price. that's how I felt when buying my V35 anyway, I wasn't about to offer $5k below an asking price, even if I thought it was $5k overpriced. the biggest problem with V35s on carsales is most sellers have no idea how much they are worth. There is even a 2005 6sp coupe on there for over $35k!! Who would be willing to offer him $10k below his asking price?

mosoto Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 White & Black generally sell better & sometimes higher as well because they are less common colours.

sonicii Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 black, yes. White? Not so much, it might be easier to sell than something like silver, but probably won't demand a higher price..

GL with the sale. I agree - it is stupid to start at a low price with no space to manoeuvre. I have just listed it and will adjust the price according to the response. Have already had a few enquiries. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/384032-regretful-sale/#findComment-6128650 Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnr Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 Based on your comments and what is available the initial starting price is too high - have reduced it to a more realistic $24000.

vee35 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 The car looks nice, but I am not in the market to buy as I already have mine, so feel free to ignore my questions. How do you know that your mileage is genuine? I bought mine from a dealer with very low mileage, but I am sure it was wrong (due to the wear in the driver side carpet under the accelerator pedal). I am sure I have read someone mention a way to check? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/384032-regretful-sale/#findComment-6167750 Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnr Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 The car looks nice, but I am not in the market to buy as I already have mine, so feel free to ignore my questions. How do you know that your mileage is genuine? I bought mine from a dealer with very low mileage, but I am sure it was wrong (due to the wear in the driver side carpet under the accelerator pedal). I am sure I have read someone mention a way to check? The best way to tell is the oxidation on the machined aluminium ABS module and the lip on the discs. I sold my car today and it is the first car that I am sad about selling. So this ends my association with SAu as I will access WRX and Golf GTi forums from now. Thanks to all those who helped me in SAu over the 5 years of owning my V35 and to the the guys who have developed and run the site - it is an excellent site and very beneficial to Skyline owners.
