Hey Guys

Now this isn't a sell my car thread but just looking for a bit of advice. I've recently moved to the UK due to my partners family reasons and I have had to unfortunately put my car up for sale :( Was thinking about transporting it over but the costs of doing that and the prices of cars here won't make much sense doing it.

So I'm a complete Numpty in selling a car privately as I have never done it before and I have had my ad up on car sales for a week and half now and I have not had one person contact me. I've got it up for $12,500 which I thought was a fair price considering the condition my beloved V35 is in but i guess not

here is the ad I put up

http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-Skyline-2004/SSE-AD-3101714/?Cr=16&sdmvc=1

So any advice on what I should be selling it for? I'm in no rush to sell, it's currently sitting in my parents massive garage with no finance owing but I'm wanting a few people to be interested in it

I think the price is quite reasonable. it's just not a good time to sell, lots of cars for sale and not as many buyers, especially for 'niche' cars like these. Some have had to wait months for a buyer to come along. The reduction in the value of the Yen is also making it very cheap to import one of these.. which isn't helping local sales either.

Yeah, be prepared for a selling period of around 6 months. Even when I sold my R34 and S15 previously it took a LOOOOOOONG time. As awesome as these cars are, the market is flooded and people generally don't know what the heck they are, even after all these years.

Leave the price as is, it's very fair.

It's a popular colour and a great car... the only two aspects that may put off a buyer is the level of trim (eg: non-Premium pack) and those rear park sensors.

Even so, it's priced well and looks mint :)

Do you plan to renew the rego when it expires? It is highly unlikely that you can sell it before Dec 2014... And people will have a lot less incentives to buy an unregistered car.

Also your Carsales ad said the car is regularly serviced in North Sydney Nissan, but the car has a QLD plate and your location is QLD as well. Would that be a typo?

Other than that the car looks great - a reasonably price for 80k genuine mileage and decent condition.

It's good that you're not in a rush to sell, as many people have commented that the market has taken a hit.

$13K seemed like a fair price when I was looking 12 months ago. You may have to price yours a bit less as it's non-premium, non-colour matched parking sensors, 17" wheels, etc.

Hopefully you get a decent price!

Great thank you for the advice fella's :)

I'm from Queensland and bought the car in Queensland but lived in Sydney for a year and didn't bother changing the rego, I had a strange inkling I was going to move again ha!

Im definitely going to pay another 6 months on rego as by the sounds of it my dad is having fun with it on the weekends. Will keep price as is.

haha I didn't really notice the parking sensors but you guys are probably right, not much I can do about it now though as I'm already in the UK.

Have had 5 people save it as their favourite on car sales so I guess thats a start. Still gutted I'm selling though it's like giving up the family dog.

Have you thought of putting this on Fleebay ? I'm not sure of the cost , it's % of sale thing and it ain't much , used to be a place for crappy not worth the listing price beaters but since carsales got cheeky with their prices and the pic link sizes are shit fleebay has some surprisingly good vehicles on the site.

Just a thought--- :)

If you've still got it late Dec I'd be a goer for it and the Qld reg would suite me just fine as that's where I'm stuck for the foreseeable future :turned:

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
