Car Price Changes

Hi,

Just wanted to get another person's input as i'm not sure the reasoning. What is with so many cars these days listing their price and increasing it by large increments a few hours/days after listing. Like most individuals who follow the cars will know it has increased and many especially on carsales have notifications for price changes. Anybody have any clue?

Regards,

Peter

This is someone trying to make a quick buck, this car was sold the new owner has listed it for 120k.
One guy also bought 2 33gtrs both of which I had looked at.
The new owner then advertised them a week later for 10k and 15k over what was previously asked
AND they have now both sold!

I think the OP is referring to the same seller, i.e. "increasing it by large increments a few hours/days after listing." and it's probably because they've under priced it originally, had 10 people instantly say i'll buy it at the asking price and realise they might be able to get more.

Interest and people putting money on the table are different things. I see these cars which have a random price increase and then still sit on carsales for months on end. Not many R34's move from what i've seen unless they are priced realistically as it seems importing it better value for money for those cars at the moment. Also a big flood of dealer imports atm overcharging massively

Your on the money there Peter, I have seen heaps of these prices going all over the shop.

The white R32 in Victoria was put on Carsales the other day for 33k and an hr later it was 39,900..

Another is a silver one in nsw was 39,990 then went down to 35,x00 then up to 36,800 for a month and now it's back at 39,990 haha.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
