What Is My Stagea Worth?

[EGA41T]

im contemplating buying a townhouse as an investment property, and it looks as though the stagea may have to go if i am to attain the loan i want. Im still fighting myself as to whether to sell it or not but I figure I might aswell find out what its worth.

1998 Nissan Stagea 25t rs four “s” MANUAL

Performance Mods: Split Dump/Front Pipe, CATCO High Flow Cat, Blitz NUR Spec Cat Back, Front Mount Intercooler, K&N Panel Filter, Apexi Power FC (with "Secret Squirrel Tweak"), Walbro Fuel Pump, Cushion Button Clutch, GFB Stealth FX BOV.

Tune: Unique Autosports

Power: 200.9kw At The Wheels

Work Meister S2R 18”x9” wheels with kuhmo ecsta tyres with good tread.

RHINO RAv2 car alarm with 3 point immobiliser.

plus it has a pioneer mp3 cd player, two 12" fusion powerplant subs and an 800W RMS monoblock amp, stereo puts out 136.8 dB.

i have just ordered a cushion button clutch from Unique Autosports, which retails for $1150. which will be fitted before it is sold.

The car is also getting resprayed in the very near future through insurance, as it was sprayed with rocks, at which time the nismo sideskirts will be fitted.

It has 119,000 km on the clock runs motul engine oil and redline gearbox oil, it purrs like a kitten.

I would also be interested in a trade plus cash adjustment for a car worth between $2000 and $5000 that is reliable and good on fuel.

It would be a regrettable sale if I do sell it but I have enjoyed every moment of ownership with the stagea.

Andy you are an idiot!

No offence,

I know what you are going through, i want to buy a house at the end of next year so unless i really save hard it wont happen but i refuse to sell the stag.

As i know how much i regret getting rid of the onevia, so i wont do it a second time

[GoldZilla]

Andy your car is worth...

...keeping!

Seriously, where else are you going to fid another car anywhere near as versatile?

[munchstagea]

Hi Andy,

As an avid price watcher I know that you will get burned badly on the mods (ask Jay) anything you can take off or out of the car and return it to stock the better off you will be. Sell the parts off at a reasonable loss which will be much better than including them with the car.

Leave the PFC in there though, I would want that and see the value in paying for that as it adds so much to the car. Consider what you could remove and sell and what you don't mind leaving on it them ask yourself how much you need to get for it. It is a rare gem to be sure but still a little obscure at the same time narrowing the market a little.

I might be way off and someone might jump on you with 30 large but then again R33 GTR's seem to be a dime a dozen at 25k...

Just my thoughts.

Cheers

Luke

From my own personal opinion id be surprised if you got $21,000 for it.

But like i said thats my personal opinion

[mcnamg]

dont sell you will regret it and then might have to start again from scratch on a new stag

[EGA41T]

i'll probably just put it in the trading post once ive gotten it sprayed and the new clutch put in and see how it goes.

Confucius say

NEVER sell a Stagea to buy a house.

Sell the house to buy a Stagea.

[Appealing]

Andy, I think that Simon is right, $21,000. Nobody pays for mods. Why respray it. It's just more money down the drain. Better sell it for a little less and let someone else spray it. What about taking a cheap Stag on it, then at least you'll still have one, might be able to use your mods and free up a few grand all at the same time.

Confucius say

NEVER sell a Stagea to buy a house.

Sell the house to buy a Stagea.

Confucius should have said "Sell Stagea, don't buy house buy business, business will buy you house and another Stagea"

I'd say it is worth at least $20k, which is what I think mine is about worth, but I need to sell mine for the same reason you are looking at selling yours, but I need to cover the loan, and at the moment that payout figure is what I need to sell it for, so I really doubt it will sell quickly.

But honestly folks, how many Manuals are there in the country?

[AlexCim]

I also agree, ~20k

I can buy right now, a manual S2 stagea stock for...... $17.500 on road.

[EGA41T]

i think its worth closer to $26000, i got the loan approved today, and the stag will have to go to cover the repayments.

[munchstagea]

That sounds about right to me Andy,

Just find that buyer and you are set! A part trade will probably be the way to go if you find the right deal.

[Ska]

Yeah sounds about right. I hope to find a buyer ~$25k mark and hopefully by the $20k mark, but it'll only get there when I make repayments, but good luck with the sale, I still have a good 11mths till I will be really looking for a buyer, so no rush for me

[Tangles]

lol, another 9years of ownership for me

[EGA41T]

wheni get the stag resprayed, would it be worth more as the original colour or more sprayed in a ppg crystal silver?

[munchstagea]

Original for me.

[Stinky Rooster]

I think the crystal would bring in the punters if there is a photo with any ad, but make sure the paint is matchable and repairable (re touch ups) or it will lose its appeal pretty quickly

[wolverine]

go pink!
