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.

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.

GL with the sale.

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?

you summed it up pretty well there!

genuine buyers offer about 1-3k lower than advertised price

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.

Had a few enquiries but no luck selling so far so have reduced price to $23,000 ONO.

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. Enjoy your Skylines!!!!

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
