Yo,

Just wondering if anyone has sold or bought a car (not necessarily a Skyline) recently in Vic. I would like to know where you advertised/looked, and from sellers, what sort of response you got, and how long it took to sell.

Unfortunately my car will be on the market as of next week (going OS) so I'm looking for the quickest way to sell it.

:rofl:

Well my Lexus is up for sale up the moment (free plug!). It is advertised on Carsales.com.au and Carpoint.com.au. Also went in the Age for 2 weeks and is in Unique cars.

The amount of ridiculous emails I have had from people from those ads is not funny. Emails with no introduction or sign off and read:

"does it have alloy wheels"

"does the sun roof slide"

"would you take 20K when it was up for 30K"

I now have a couple of people seriously interested in it but even on here I got offers for a straight trade from people when I clearly put that I wanted to down grade to release some equity for a house deposit.

Be prepared is all I can say!

All up advertising was about $350 from memory as whilst the websites are free or under $10, the mag and Age cost a bit.

Having said all that, I have had several genuine enquiries from here including Swordfish so it is not all bad.

Oh and can you let me know details of your car as I am looking for a Skyline.

www.carsales.com.au, but if you want to sale it fast, your car has to be cheap enough.

For example, I sold my skyline in 2 days after I advertised it in carsales, but it's around $2000 under market value, and now I want to sell my lancer, nobody asked in 2 months because I only want to sell it at reasonalbe price.

Cheers saff. I'll post up the details of the car on the weekend after I take a few photos. Condition can only be described as immaculate :)

sars, did you get the price you posted or did you get offers (for the line)? The lancer might be taking longer coz there are millions out there?

Sold my Car on here last week. Was only advertised for a week

I also advertised it on Carsales.com and in the trading post.

Exspect some idiots calling, i had ppl offering half what i had it advertised, and i had heaps of idiots asking if i had run boost in the past when i slearly stated it was a GTS non turbo.

And i just brought my new car from a private seller on carsales.com

riggap - sounds good mate.

sars - I tried that after initially pricing it high, I then dropped it right to the bottom of the bracket so the only couple in the state that are cheaper are galaxy kilometres and even they are only 1K or so below. It started at $34K a couple of months ago and and is now up for 28K and I still get annoying emails.

I think it also depends on the actual price of the car in $.

hey Rigga,

when i was looking for a Skyline I was looking at carsales.com.au, and occasionally in Unique Cars magazine. Ended up buying from a guy that advertised on carsales.

I had my series 4 rx-7 about two months ago on carsales and carpoint. No interest what so ever. Put it in the trading post, that night when it came out i sold it and got a few people interested in it afterwards. Its fairly expensive, but it worked for me.

Yeah I asking for 16k(already 2k less than what I after because I need cash very urgently), but somebody still offer me lower price such as 14k.....but anyway, I sold it at 16k to the first person to see the car. A little bit regret, I should advertised it for 17k :jump:

Watch out for the scammers when you advertise your car on carpoint or carsales wanting to pay you double what you advertised it for and then want to ship it to america or europe.

I have my dads old 1989 magna for sale on carpoint and some guy in America want to pay $15,000 for it and then wants to transport it to America!! :)

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
