Why Is It So Hard To Sell A Skyline Privately?

[pentae]

NA_R33: What are you asking for it?

[The Don]

I am interested if you can give me some information tonight...

(Leaving for shift work tomorrow)

[NA_R33]

asking 37g's

It may be gone this week... swapping for an S15 plus some money my way.

i realise u dont get back what u spend on cars... if i didnt, i wouldnt have done what have to my other car

[siddr20]

Maybe also try and convert your car back to stock!!!

That could also help a lot in terms of selling your car..

[chaos]

dont think the new laws in NSW help now either, considering theres a 102 page list of cars which P platers cant buy.

[lordsnipe]

I guess it's risk as well.

I bought my R33 from a dealer as it came with a 3 year warranty etc etc. Sure I paid more for it but I can be assured that if something failed (like a water pump the other month), it would be covered.

I took me 4 month to sell my previous GTR and the buyer whom bought my car took almost 10 hours of time just looking at my car before he drop his deposit to me (i was at his place for Fu??ing 10 hour). I dont even get the price i am after too.

So good Luck on your sale

[boosted_andy]

yes, all these are factors contributing to "no sale". ive been trying to sell my supra twin turbo (to upgrade to a skyline r34 ). its a beautiful car....black, never been in accident, 60000kms, with the only mods been 17" Volk's and a GReddy BOV, yet i havent had any serious offers. ive put it in Unique cars, trading post (costs heaps nowdays), been tryin to sell it 4 8 months. im trying to sell it for $32000. Dealers selling non turbo AUTOS (auto's, what a waste),for 32000!!! i believe this is a good price but hey the market obviousl dont think so. and another thing, anyone that has come to see the car ended up having no money anyways - stop wasting my time!!!this is annoying. good luck with your sale anyways...

[djhatton]

i too am having problems selling my car. its disheartening but its the way it is. used cars aren't much fun to sell...

[SKY 34]

yeah Car prices gone down bad lately...friend's cousin was trying to get morgage for house..he was driving black R34....can't sell for months..and in desperate attempt, manage to get $27,000 ...GTT.....also recently I saw an Add in paper selling R34 for $25,000 that's just nuts....I got mine for $39,000 and that was a year ago....loosing $14,000 just like that....depressing....yeah I agree with the fuel pricing...

modifications has never increase teh value of the car..that is why it is good to actually buy second hand fully moded car, provided not well trashed...hehehe I think Ima rip off all the modifications and sell tehms eperately on E-bay when I'm selling mine~~

I've been trying to sell my car as well but the type of offers that were made to me were bordering on crazy so i've decided to say f**kIT and just keep my car

Couple of things about the market though...

1) Many buyers have NFI about aftermarket parts. They just know it sounds good and have no clue as to what its worth and the effect it has on the car's performance.

2) The car market is pretty down at the moment and one of the reasons which no one has raised yet is the new limits placed on P platers. Think about it... The type of people who are likely to buy Skylines are the younger crowd and those with more funds have to resort to buying NA Hondas instead of our turbo Skylines

Stupid government! Grrrrr >

Took me around 10 weeks to sell my VR BT1 Commodore (unbagded SS), V8 with super low kms, and nicely modified. Too many time wasters out there, and ridiculous offers. So had to strip out the stereo and whatnot, and finally it sold (for a stupidly low price).

Disheartening. But its the way the market is at the moment.

Anyways, Ive got my Stagea and couldnt be happier, as I got it for an awesome price! Works both ways I guess......

[mrr330]

i been selling my GTs-t with a few mods for a while now its clean as i droped the price from $17000 to $15000 now i can't go lower i just wanta piss it off so i can get a GTR r32 and there cheap now cause theres so many

[BL01]

I guess there is just too many GTRs around now..high supply atm...maybe because of the 15yr ruling. GTRs are also pretty hard to maintain. Your pockets have to be real deep...
