Unfortunately due to bad sales in winter my business is having some short term cash-flow issues... Which means my Stagea may have to go.

Which sux as I will surely buy another in a few months time when things are not so tight!

I have had a quick look on the forums and car sales etc, but don't know what a fair price for my car would be.

Realistically I know I will never get back what I have put in. But what would be a fair list price for this:

It has been babied, garaged and serviced every 5,000 with the best oils etc and is in exceptional condition.

2001 M35 250 RS with Factory Aero Kit (Inc the wing!)

Odo - 112k

Modifications:

Kakimoto R Exhaust - cat back

BC Coil-overs

Selby adjustable Sway Bars

Apexi SAFC II

Pro-S tuned ECU

Enkei GTC-01 19x8.5 +22 rims

2006 350Z Track Brembos with DBA Slotted front rotors

Hybrid Front mount intercooler kit

HID Headlights

K&N panel air filter

Panasonic head unit

Reverse Camera

Ipod connectivity

Pictures: Big thanks to Chris (Spoolin) for his mad camera skills!

sweet stag, im looking in a few months but not yet:( ive been looking and doing research on prices and mods etc and yeah i think around the 17 mark is on the ball. Thats what id be happy to pay when the time comes with one like that, only prob is no sunroof which might turn a few people off. i do like yours better with that interior rather than the leather.

hope sale goes well. maybe ill go to bank and see if i can get cash now

I'm certainly interested also if its around the $17k mark and will have finance in place in a couple of weeks, or worst case end of month.

Have you done any maintenance on the turbo or dump pipe as I’ve read that these are susceptible to failure around the 100k km mark?

But again, certainly keen and will be in contact in a couple of weeks if you decide to go ahead with the sale.

Given the obvious interest in the vehicle, Id say $17k would be undervaluing it. However at such a price it looks like you'd be ensured a fast sale. Hold on to it if you can mate, its obvious you've put a lot of work in to it!

With what little I know of M35s, I'd say $17k would be what you ask, as is, if you needed a quick sale.

Obviously you know your situation better than I, but do the sums carefully. Is liquidating the Stag the most cost effective way to inject some cash into your business? You are no doubt going to end up way out of pocket as you won't get back nearly what you have put into it. Add in the costs of selling and then one day buying another and I'm willing to predict there are much more cost effective ways to source some cash, such as a Line of Credit or Personal Finance or something to that effect. Worst case is you can always sell the Stag later if things do not pick up and you need to cover the LoC.

A personal loan will cost you principal + say 10% if it takes you a year to square it off. That's $1000. Are you going to lose more than that by selling the Stag? I'll predict yes, by a lot.

But, again, you obviously know your situation much, much better than I (as I know nothing about your individual circumstance).

Such a shame Benny; yours is my favourite NM35.:wub:

Except for mine.:D

Is there no other alternative? I don't need a new bike, or any sexy bits right now, so I can't help you that way either.:/

Perhaps a merciless internet spam advertising campaign would help; I'm sure it works with Viagra...

Thanks for all the kind words guys!

The Pro S is a tuned ECU as iamhe77 said, no speed limit, higher rev limit, higher boost and timing changes too I believe.

At the moment its not 100% yet that I will have to sell this as I am working on alternative finance avenues, but should push come to shove I wanted to know what would be a fair price for my beloved Stagea.

Aaron, check his sig... mountain bike gear! http://www.ribbed.com.au/

Doh!

Thanks >_<

Myself and a few of my friends are in the market for new bikes. I shall check it out.

Unfortunately a few others have already bought bikes recently - would have been good to direct them to Ribbed as they all spent between $2k and $5k.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
