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!! :)

Hang on a sec...

They come from there too...

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
