What Would Be A Fair Asking Price For My Ride?

[abcent]

I know the market is flooded with 33 gts-t's at the moment...some as low as $7000 ive seen. So what would be a decent price tag to put on mine? Considering stripping parts off it and selling them seperatly if it'd make the car easier to sell? if I did that....what sort of price then? how far do I bother stripping it back? Till I can sell it for 10k on ebay??....lol

please dont bombard me with posts & messages asking how much for this an that off my car....you wont get a reply, if i decide to got that way i'll put the parts up for sale in due time. thanks.

just after opinions on best way to go about selling my ride an what people think it'd be worth (sell for)

You have a very nice 33 there. A point to keep in mind however is that whatever you ask for - you will not get. People will try and hobnob with you for a better price.

I think you should sell as is for now, and if you are not happy with the responses/interest - sell the parts and see how you go.

Good Luck anyhow.

Without wanting to offend, I'd have to say you've got pretty much no chance of selling it for anywhere near $26k.

As much as we all know mods aren't cheap, you never get back what you've spent on modifying a car....It's always a loss, not an investment.

Being a 94 Series 1 that makes it almost 14 years old.

You might come out better off if you were to sell parts off it and sell the car itself a lot cheaper, but that would be a lot of work, and you might not even make that much extra anyway when selling a near stock series 1 33 GTS-T which people seem to be paying $12-$15k for....

It might hurt, but thats just my opinion

[khunjeng]

hey berin

I have had some ppl make offers for my car in the past few weeks of up to 22k. Which I thought was ok.

Then I started looking at what car I would get...I wanted an R also. Then decided to keep it as I couldn't be farked at this stage. I'II just upgrade the RB25 or go an RB26 and be done with it.

[abcent]

yeah I know what you mean Dezz.....this is why im not wanting to burn anymore money on it. Being a mechanic, stripping the parts off is easy for me, so thats no problem. Cars had well over $32K spent on it including the cost of the car.....

maybe i'll strip it down a bit....stock bonnet, mirrors, diff, wing, seats, computer & injectors.....bringing it back to being a neat 33 with about 200kw for around 17-18K mark?

Chris: if i could get 22 for it minus a few things id be happy

[R31Nismoid]

22k max

If you want more, strip it and return to stock, and sell the parts

thats the easiest option for selling but its a real pain in the arse.

I think Dezz is right. However I got a few takes at 20+k as I said above. Depends on the person. Just put it up and leave it for a while and see what happens, but I have seen a few with forged internals etc for about 26k on these forums...there is a nice blue one for aout 26/27 running like 360rwkw @24psi so something like that.

[R-SPEC]

yeah i think you'd be asking way too much dude.

with an import/modifying etc you're never gonna get what you've spent on the car its just not gonna happen.

honestly with your car i'd be very happy with anything near 18-20grand.

not trying to offend ofcourse its just how it is nowadays, r33s can't seem to hold their value for shit (i think anyway...)

but hey best of luck i hope you get whatever you decide to sell it for. for serious

[abcent]

just to clear things up.....I never said "I'll be asking $26k"....i said IDEALLY id like $26k just because of what i've spent on it.

idea of this thread was to get poeple's opinions on what sort of price it'll actually sell for. Whether it'd be better to strip it back to a "closer to stock" form an sell it for round $15K?

thanks for the opinions though....generally what i was after

Dont forget, if you are going to be buying a GTR to factor in the cost of a good sex change opertation. Your typical "Shiela GTR driver" snip sets you back abvout 12k. Or you can just keep your balls and keep your sweet GTS25t

[R-SPEC]

sounds like you got some good quality parts on the car which you can get some decent money for...

strip away

nice one...thanks for the heads up, I'll be sure to factor that in....lol

[R31Nismoid]

You'll sell it stock for around 15k give or take.

Remember GTR ownership is going to cost you a lot more

[abcent]

maybe i'll buy an evo.....hehehe (an older one that is)

[allblitz]

Considering I've had no interest on my GTR at 27K, I would be suprised to see your's go at 26K, I agree with R31Nismoid, return it to stock, sell the mods. That's what I have decided to do. Either way, good luck with the sale.

[West]

So true ,

I've spent over 10k on my shitbox R32gtr and i only got offer for $24k, genuine offered.

[Ronin 09]

GTRs are sh!t.

[abcent]

ok ok people....lol.....forget what I'm buying next.....thats for another thread another time...

[INASNT]

20K max if you find the right buyer, I didnt get much more than that for mine after all the $$ that was spent on it.

I cbfed stripping it back to stockish and selling the parts, so lost alot of $$.

Best option is to strip as much as you can and sell seperate as most people aint aware of the cost of the extras.

[RCHOO]

Charge them 20k for the mods and give them the car for free....
