Ive being trying to sell my R32 GTR for the past 6-8 months,advertised for $18500 still no luck.........i ve had a few people come look at the car. Last week christmas eve i had some guy come over looked at the car and offer me $16500, i refused the offer and counter offer him $17500 and i will need deposit by end of last week.Havent heard from him again so now playing the waiting game again.

One way to think about this situation is, think about the age group that would drive import 18-24.

Then think about the people who can acatully afford to buy one and maintain it. Not many people in that age group would have 20grand + to spend on a car you get the occasion older people that might be interested, hence why Gtrs, Supras and other import that are priced at 20 grand + are much hader and take longer to sell.

thats one of my theories.

To add to the above, the 24+ age group enthusiasts that genuinely appreciate your car are most likely detered by their current mortgages, high fuel prices and KIDS!! :)

think you will also find people in the market for a GTR will tend to go the R32, as they are more affordable for younger guys.

When I was in the market to buy my GTR, I saved over $10k by importing mine - a lot of people would be tempted to import their own.

Another thing that no-one else has mentioned is that fact that you have only had the car 6 months... people would be wary of this fact.

    • Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners
    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
