Am i asking too much? i paid $15k for it a over year ago and have only added 15000kms since then even tho its a daily. i also had a new HD clutch put in that wasnt cheap and new speakers, headunit etc.

why is it that the highest offer that i have gotten is $11500? sure i may need it sold soon but with me still owing a bit less than $5k on it, it would only leave me with about $5k for a another car and to get out of this shithole of a town. im gunna get pissed if i keep getting these stupid offers compared to what im asking.

People will always try to give you stupid offers... but just stand your ground and someone will come around

[ScorpR32]

I'd definately say it's worth more than $11.5k. As for $15k you will struggle with a series 1 these days

[hanyou]

yeah tough it out and get the price you want, but then again you always lose on cars

keeping in mind the market for skylines as well it sux.

[ctjet]

$14k is more than reasonable

[mad082]

it's the fact that there are so many r33's for sale. and it is a series 1, and not a series 1.5 or 2. and it is coming up to 100,000kms, which means it is going to need it's timing belt done.

[redevil]

dude what are you whinging about the first offer u have there is $14,000 are you blind or somethin

i think 14 is about the best your gna get. should look into it.

seeing as series 2 are cheap as well.

that seller fell thru when he got a quote from insurance...

Would have thought it was a reasonable price. I would say your hard points of sale would be the front bar, side stickers and the dodgy photo quality. Try to get some better quality photos. Take your p plate off and I think remove the stickers. Then get some good photos. Good luck with it

Too right, shopping lists on the side of cars is a major deterrant for most people. I never look at cars with "performance stickers" on the side, it means there is a better chance that the driver thrashes the car and feels the need to race everyone he lines up against at the lights.

[Freddy Kruger]

lol i should update the photos hey. i took the stickers off the day after i got it home.

ill update the pics now.

[jake33]

you will eventually get a resonable price. just got to be a little patient and be prepared to negotiate. i was luck enough to pick my 1.5 95 line with 88,oooks for only 11. then i see some people selling stock 32s for 12.. so it all depends on the right buyer for your price.. some people are desparate, others arent. luck of the draw when it comes to a few thousand either side of the general market value. good luck with it anyway.!

theres a 10 sec gts-t here some where i saw for $17/18 k with over $20k of mods! i think $14k is a great price for a series 1 . spare a thought for us poor buggers that have paid $25k for series 1 6 to 7 years ago and spent $20 plus k. theres always people being bent over harder than you ! i could have bought a 95 gtr for $65k back in 2000 but instead i bought my series 1 gts -t for $25k. now 95 gtr are gong for $25 plus k!!!

[kralster]

what about people like me who spend over 35g's for a r34 and now nice two door turbo coupes can be had for low 20's if imported.

[mad082]

and there's people who try to sell a multiple times damaged r34 gt-t for 45k

[msnismo]

Stand your ground & be patient as others have mentioned .... besides if the car yard near my house can try and sell a rough as 93 S1 with hectik chromies for $19,990 (which has a deposit taken sign on it!) I don't see why you won't get $14k or close to it............

[mad082]

yeah, it is just a case of how quickly you want the car gone

[predator]

Unfortunately all the people that are desparate to sell are pushing the price down to $11-12k for an R33 with a few mods. So really, not much you can do.. There will always be somebody willing to let the car go for a stack less than you are, simply because there are so many around, and lots of others desperate to sell.

Being 'in the country' doesn't help either, as it's a couple of hours drive from melb if people want to look at it.

we all should not let this happen, no one should sell cheap. if all skyline owners didnt let them sell cheap, they could keep the market steady.

buyers cant buy a skyliner33gtst for 11k if no one will sell them one for 11k. if u catch my drift.
