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?

DivHunter, sweet :cheers:

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

pz

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.

mike

i advertised my skyline out the front of my house because we live right near a main road where i got 1 stupid offer by some old ****.., had it adv on carsales, the Age and numerous forums, and yes you do get a lot of timewasting tooles with no money asking you stupid question and stupid offers.. as previously said, be prepared to deal with knobheads

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.

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?

DivHunter, sweet :D

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:

EBAY $14

just sold the daepoo earlier in the week on there.. it had been on carpoint for about 3 weeks and i advertised it twice on auto supermarket... on ebay it sold for exactly what i wanted for it within 3 days.

will be puting the soarer on there once its fixed up too... *** carpoint...

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!! :)

They come from there too...

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
