How easy is it to sell GT-R's?

[djr81]

Unfortunately, it looks like I am going to have to sell my 89 R32 GT-R. I don't actually want to & therefore am trying to leave the decision as late as possible.

My question is this: how easy/difficult is it to sell a pretty much stock R32 GTR (89) in good nick. I would have to ask about $25,000.

Either that or is anyone in the market for a couple of kidneys, one careful owner.

Doubt it would be too hard ... though I reckon an 89 model will be harder to sell than say a 94 model

[Flite]

Depends on what you price it at. I guess if you price it at $10,000 it would be pretty damn easy to sell

well really if its an 89 imported and complied on the road etc for $20K and you want $25K then yeah a little difficult

but 25k for a clean neat example etc will be a quick sale

[JH32]

That's the thing ... people will see 89 model and think "bah he imported this for 5k less than he's asking" .. so might be a bit harder to sell.

Worth a shot though !

Well I have all the receipts and stuff to show what it cost to get on the road and it is basically what I would ask for it. The purpose of the exercise is not to make money on the deal.

The problem is, I suppose, getting past the disinformation around about exactly how much/how cheap importing cars really is.

I personally suspect you won't get what you paid for it...everyone wants a bargain and even if your car is good it will be competing against crap cars with a low price tag

thats the downside of the ease of importing a 15yo car

Requesting details of GTR. How many k's ?

Also sorry to hear your forced to sell. Hope you don't have to.

89 GTRS went up in price about 6-8 weeks ago and can not be had in good condition in Japan at bargin prices anymore so 25 for a cleen GTR is very cheap now.

Most of the cheap ones that did get in have cost huge money to get into good order.

Stick to your price if its clean.

[R32-GTS]

I agree totally. 25k will be a good price.

[MYC-R32]

Also, $25k, and they dont have to wait, which is a huge advantage, as for most people the pain of waiting thru the import process can be too much!

Go for it dude.

I sold my VERY clean burgundy 89 for more than that a few months ago.

Car isknown to quite a few members on this forum and all have said it was one of the best around, irrespective of year.

A good one is worth it ie, no engine problems, no repair work on the body, no cigarette burns etc.

Cheers

Thanks for the info Ken. I hadn't realised you had sold yours. I saw it down at Collie and like you say, it is very clean/shiney.

I guess mine is a little off yours - but not too far.

Geoff from Prestige reckoned on it being (mine that is, sorry this thread is all about me, me, me) one of the best they had had at till the time of purchase. There again he may say that to all the guys...

Sorry and before I get flamed Geoff is ok by me.
