ive seen stockers go for as low as 17k, you might wanna look into having it be sold through a car yard, they add there bit on top but you will get what your after. people seem to be willing to pay more to a car yard lol, obviously thats not an option if its your daily though

bit of an exaggeration, but yes the principle is "buy it cheaper and sell it a little higher". They have to make some sort of profit. They do have to cover costs of advertising, wages, servicing + profit.

If you price it well and it isn't a dog then it will sell no matter what the market is like. There will always be a person looking for a good example of these cars...you may just need to wait a bit till they find your ad :nyaanyaa:

Hey guys, just curious...

what you guys think? or is there a statistic regarding R32 GTR in WA?

is it low in supply but high in demand???

Comments please. :nyaanyaa:

Well I just sold mine. In WA too.

It took about a month & I didn't have a huge number of enquiries. Maybe half a dozen. More people wanted it than could either afford it or justify it.

Only one bloke came & looked at it, he was the first & he bought it.

My opinion is that if it is clean, stock(ish), well looked after & reasonable priced you should be able to sell it without a huge amount of drama. It won't be gone in a week & will probably take a few.

The down side is that you will get a raft of time wasters & tossers who will pound you with bizarre questions & expect you to give it away (to them) without them even bothering their arse to come & look at the car. Oddly enough the cheaper the car, the more of these types the ad appears to attract.

Best tip is clean it up & put a coat of polish on it. Make sure it drives well. Most importantly, never, ever underestimate the value of a pretty photo.

I used here & carsales & ended up selling it through car sales. I checked the numbers & approx the same number of people looked at the SAU ad as the carsales ad. Approx 800 of each.

Also ask your mates if they know anyone who wants one.

I was using random number as an example, but i dont think the real numbers will be far off

yes they run a business and the whole point is to profit

i also think modded cars sell quicker then stock, my 180sx sold in 3 hrs of advertising but i had way more pms/emails/phone calls about it compared to my skyline

Doesnt a car yard just buy the car from you? @ like a really really low price 15k?

then sell it for 25k or whatever they sell it for

Not always, i asked a car yard how much they would give me for my car and i didnt like the price so he said i could leave it in the car yard and he would sell it for me and i pay him for doing that, (you still end up with more money than selling him the car) but never did that as it was my daily driver

Depends on the guy at the car yard, some are nice and willing to help and some are just d**k heads

just make sure if you sell a car to yard on consignment they are registered with the Motor vehical industry board for consignment and they have a proper trust fund set up or you could be left high and dry with an unscrupulous dealer

not really an exaggeration, my brother in law got only 4k for his twin turbo 300zx at a dealer, they sold it for over 15k. i know its a different car, but buying a r32 gtr for 13-15 and selling it for 22-25 sounds about right for a dealer.

As for the topic, theres probably only 5 people in all of perth who want an r32 gtr, im one of those 5. No ones likes em cause they are old, and probably thrashed. :thumbsup:

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      ..could be worse... but out here, renting private affords some luxuries ...we've even been told the Sept dateline isn't critical, and I'd rather move stuff in the cool of winter, than slogging it out in the heat. Recall we were talking about the million dollar view this place has?...that's what he got for it... (won't be so nice when the quarry happens at the back in the future...lol..)... ...cool, I'll stick the wiper motor in a wee box...umm.... the pinny is GLX trim ~ I think that's about as close as it gets to Silo spec when it comes to the S2 pinny...ie; electric mirrors etc etc...dunno about the trip computer/wiring...I do electronics repair, I'd be willing to take a look at it for you. As you saw, all the dash is there in that car..and thinking about it, it'd be easier to pull the whole center section out, rather than just the ashtray and rails, but your call...

      Rb26- Enlarging Std Throttle Bodies

      The "sacrifice of low end" is now basically irrelevant in 2025. Turbo/ecu/fabrication/and other tech advancements gives a vast array of options to mitigated any of it. My setup now is a fantastic example of this. 300whp / 20psi @ 3500rpm from a 600hp turbo setup on a notoriety low reading Dyno Dynamics roller dyno, is almost unmatched on all of SAU and other forums. The only other turbo i've seen that can achieve this is a BW EFR + twin scroll / twin gates etc etc etc... ps. tuned by Matty Spry at P.I.T.S as far as getting to the 600 figure, while enlarging your itb's alone probably won't get you there, as Sucram has stated above, it will certainly help. Just do it Predator1 my brother hahaha 🙂

      At the Botany heavy vehicle inspection centre. At the time there were only 2 locations that did IM240 testing for free, the other location was at Penrith. I did a quick google, seems like the Botany and Penrith inspection centre is closed now though About an hour of my time.  At the time you could. They are closed now   No it was Government run, the site was attached to the RTA from memory. The guys running it at the time were awesome, if you didn't pass the test, they handed you the results and said make changes to your car/tune and have another go later. You drove in registered, failed, and drove out registered.   Obviously though if you were defected, sent there, failed. You remained unregistered.  From my 5 minutes of research (have a look at the date on my test results) looks like things have changed. So, I can't see any way to get this test done for free now Seems like you'll need to call around the engineering places doing the Vehicle Safety Compliance Certification Scheme or call around workshops with a dyno and try and get a RG240 test. No idea how expensive that is though or how easy it is to find a place offering it.  Bit depressing learning about this now. The first car I had engineered in NSW cost me about $250 all up.... So kids these days can't buy houses, looks like getting your car legal and engineered in NSW is another thing on the list of things they can't afford. Great.
