Worth fixing this?

[_turtle_]

Hey guys, i'm trying to sell my car but because of the crack in the front bar and some scrapes there its making the car look like its in poor condition and is hard to sell. Is it worth fixing, or should I get a new front bar? Or should I try a dodgey and get some fibre glass kit and patch it myself?

If anyone recommends a place to fix this for a fair price then let me know.

Thanks

shouldnt be much to fix at all...if it really is deterring others..

why not get a written quote and show it to ppl who r interested , saying u'd negotiate that much etc.

i wouldnt bother getting that fixed mate,

cost you an arm and a leg to get that fixed up properly,

best thing to do would be to go to autobarn grab yourself a fibreglass repair kit, buy the closest matching touchup paint you can find and spend a couple of hours yourself fixing it. It may not look as good as a professional job but itll look a damn sight better and youll have a spare $400~ in your pocket.

just buy a used one on the forum...ive seen some for 150...just make sure its the same colour:D

I dont see your car in the for sale section but was going to say, if it is priced accordingly, you shouldnt have a problem or do as Nav2K is saying and get a written quote to get the work done either at your expense or theirs with the price changing accordingly.

ok thanks guys. i think i'll try patch it up myself. i haven't posted the car in the for sale section as i figured just about everyone on the forums has a skyline

But I will take some pics and put it in for pretty cheap maybe 10-11k.

Cheers

If you do find one the same colour then let me know! I've been waiting and waiting, but when ur after something it just doesn't want to pop up.

well just before I put my last car up for sale some someone managed to scrape the right hand door (the car had a recent respray so paint was immaculate).

I just told the guy who came to buy it "mate its a 10 year old second hand car and i'm not going to use one scraped door as a bargaining tool to get the price down".

The rest of the car was immaculate inside/out. If someone is happy with the condition of the rest of the vehicle and knows that they are actually doing - they will buy it!

_turtle_ why so cheap, is it a GTS and in poor condition? Not that I am complaining but it seems very cheap for a 33.

Its really not that bad, but the first thing which ppl see is the front. I just paid 12months rego on it so I want to get rid of it quick instead of the car just sitting in my driveway. Oh, and i've seen them go in the trading post for around that price too.

That wont cost 2 much to fix.

My front bar is worse than that and I ran into a back of an old jag.

Our friend has the exact same crack in his front bar!

Anyway 46n2 can help you fix it.. and you can get colour matching two-pack cans for $20 or less.
