R32 GTR prices - WHAT?!

I have been a GTR owner for some time now.

Recently I have had several people ask me if I was interested in selling, unfortunately for them I haven't and won't be. My intentions when I purchased the vehicle were to keep it for a very long time.

This recently prompted me to check Carsales and I was shocked to see some prices on R32 GTR's. Incredible - nothing under 40k? WHAT?

Who ever said cars were a liability.

My question - what happened, how did we get to this point?

i bought mine at a reasonable price, but i was just lucky that i bought it when i did (start of 2015) . by the end of 2015 the mean prices had doubled. sooo lucky.

there would be allot of guys who let theirs go for under 20k who would be hating life now. allot.... i watched them all sell in the year i spent looking.

 

there were plenty of "not that amazing" examples being sold for between 12-15k which given the opportunity again with the hindsight, i would probably have bought half of them.

Car yards put there prices up due to everytime they get an internet inquiry through carsales they are charged $60 as its treated as a leed whether they sell it or not, have seen it happen to alot of cars i have been looking at over the years, not just gtr's.

As for prices well, for those that think there sitting on a gold mine why dont you list it at what you think its worth & see how long it takes you to sell it for your asking price.

I bet you will have it for a very long time!
Top dollar prices are for the very rare unmolested in tip top shape only vehicles>
Just my thoughts.

They were discounted when they cheaper anyway.

The Japanese auctions don't lie. 

It all stems from there, it's just all about supply and demand.

But yes, original clean cut cars are what sells.

Overseas buyers may be paying the prices but how many people in Australia are paying them? Just coz it's worth x in Japan to someone in another country does not mean it should b worth that much here. How many aus sellers are actually willing to ship their cars overseas to buyers who are paying the cash?

They're changing hands in Australia for higher prices as well

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
