benm Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 How much would you pay for this car next year?That's very hard to say. Before this year their weren't many/any R32 GTR's under $20k so it's quite hard to workout what the market will be like in 8mths time, i'd say you would be lucky with $17-19k.

wreckedhead Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 no way youll buy a 89 gtr for under 20k even in a year. i recon about 20-23. dont forget they are still hard to get now for 25 if your lucky, you may find onr for about that.

lwells Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Its all about quality. Plenty of clapped out GT-Rs may hit the very low 20s (although I find it hard to believe they will fall substantially into the teens), but I expect quality cars will still be middle to upper 20s, with special examples hitting the 30s. That's a j-spec car that came through yesterday isn't it? Its a hard way to make money if your not a car dealer so I wouldn't bother doing it unless you actually want the car. That being said, you will probably break even or get close to break even. LW.

wreckedhead Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 i have already seen all the ones sold, but i cant belive your telling me youd buy one of those 89 model gtr's in the condition they are in on the wesite, he should be giving them away for freee. only people who want to get away with saying they own a gtr and not showing it will buy it. sorry dude but you have to admit there all shit for that price.

Well, for starters, on road costs are substantial. You usually also have to allow for items like car alarms, tires, servicing and maybe a few fixups. Plus we are talking on the domestic market. Import will always -- well, unless the government does something truely stupid -- be an option, but its rather a big hassle, so I don't expect vast numbers of people to go through the process. LW.

Have you seen any pics of druzilla's GTR ? Have you driven druzillas GTR ? All we have (in this thread) is a list of modifications to go on which is why I answered 17-19k (everything depreciates, even Porsche's and GTR's ... although slowly). The difference between an average condition GTR and an perfection condition GTR could be $5k.

lwells Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 The difference between an average condition GTR and an perfection condition GTR could be $5k. I would expect the difference to be more like $5-10k. Good quality cars are hard to find and command a premium. I know for a fact that your are not getting much change out of 1,200,000 Yen for a quality example. LW.

benm Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 I would expect the difference to be more like $5-10k.Everyone is different... for me their would be 3 categories... 1. "R32 GTR" 2. +5k = "Average R32 GTR" 3. +5k = "Good R32 GTR" So the #1's are the $20k's, #2's are the $25k's and the #3's are the $30k's (from the Prestige List of 89 models).

A dealer might be able to manage that since they will provide some warranty, but as a private sale, forget it. LW.

DAN00H Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 but then again, what are the 'newer' R32 GTR's worth??? I think you could sell it for mid 20's (as long as it is half decent!)

A GTR, is still a GTR.... Age is basically irrelevant when it comes to the R32 GT-Rs IMHO as nothing basically changed. Again, its all about the quality/condition of a particular example. LW.

Merli Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 $17-20 would be my guess for a 1989 R32 GTR imported under the 15 year rule. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/41001-how-much-would-you-pay-for-this-gtr/#findComment-841765 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT-R32 Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 There is still money to be made if you play your cards right I'm sure. But who knows what the market'll be like for GT-Rs that far down the track, ATM it's all just guess work.

predator Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 yes thats the car..i thought i would be able to sell it for around 26~27 k? maby importing isnt worth it.. If your sole goal is to make money, there is always the risk you'll only get what its worth. And it may take months of stuffing around, buyers wasting your time, blah de ****ing blah. Selling a car is a prick, and every ass wants to "get a deal" and pay less than its worth. And if everybody else knows that you probably got it for like $17-18k they're not going to pay $27k for it when they can import it themselves! Buyers will buy on condition (and age) and you don't really know that is until it gets here. Could all look good in photos and reports, but the engine could be foobar'ed.. nobody is even going to pay $18k for a GTR with foobar'ed engine unless they've really got grand plans for it. So you just have to wait.. The *only* way it would be worth more, would be if/when the import laws change to restrict 15 year cars. Then as no more can come in you might be able to make a profit. Maybe you shouldn't be so rash next time....
