1995 GTS-T Auto Skyline - how much should I expect to get?

[bludbunny]

Considering selling my car before Christmas it's a stock standard 1995 white GTST auto - alpine cd player, just had 100k service done - has about 104000 ks on it - any idea on what I should get? I am in Qld

[bludbunny]

Offers?

probably 15K but I couldn't tell you really.

Yer about $15000, skipper mitsubishi in perth have got 7 for sale at $17999 retail, i had a look last night cause i sold my silvia!

They are half decent stock, and in the past skippers have sold these for $25000. Most common perth car yards sell these for $16000.

my 2c

For $15k, your better off converting it to manual for $3k, and selling it for $19-$20k

My auto skyline has done the same kms as yours, but has had some serious work done to it also, If i was ever to sell it, I think i would be lucky to get $17k for it, where if it was manual it would be looking at $23k+

Hey mephis,

I looked at 3 private cars on the weekend, all manual, and all under 94000km, the lowest at 65000km. A car being manual suddenly doesnt add $3000 to the price??? most handbags actually pay extra for auto as an option on most new cars.

The cars i looked at were all under $17000, ive got an offer going through atm for one with a minor front bumper push for $14000.

The sudden flood of cheaper imports in perth has rocked the 2nd hand car market, i could take a risk and import one through autoworxs (www.perthcars.com) for $15000 with mods, but for $23000+ private sale, do i get a warranty and any dealer extras?

My 4 cents......

Paul, You cannot import modded cars anymore. Only 100% stock standard.

You need to remember we are talking sports cars here, most young people want manual, would you buy an auto?

Sorta a supply vs demand dealie. Not many young people want a auto sports car.

Sorry to hijack the thread abit btw

Hmmmm,

Yer the auto bit is shit i drove my auto sr silvia for 2 months and got bored. I wasnt talking about modified vehicles!

Dont know but, i sold my R33 gtst manuel 74,000km's stock for $15,800! Im never getting a import again, their resale value is friggen shit!

[rs73]

Will a converted auto gts-t to manual actually sells more than an factory auto?

I think it would still worth less than a factory manual due to originality factor? Although if it retains the auto 1:4.3 diff, then the converted one could be more desirable for drag (slightly faster acceleration as opposed to manual's 1:4.1 diff)

Yep, the imports arent worth much when you go to sell them, that is why in real terms the price of $22000 is too high for a 1993 skyline turbo.

My dad and i have dealt with many imports before....but my mate dropped out of the business so i have to get a local one or trust risbey.....eeeeee

His dads last 2 imports, hes had a few nostagic ones, a 85 supra turbo, a nissan gloria (taxi)....the list goes on

we imported a 300zx na, auto, with 40000km, bought for $23000 sold $15000, this was 3 years ago we sold this, it was a 1990 model.

1988, na, auto silvia, bought it 7 years ago for $13000 with 60000km on the clock, sold it 4 years ago for $7000, when they were worth something.

with the new law coming in and less import can be brought in, will this actually bump up the price a little bit?

[Silvia1992]

nah,

the 15 year old stuff coming in will appeal more to the younger crowd, my second choice was the r32 gtr, these can be bought for $15000 from risbey.

Even the hilux surfs have taken a dive, i saw one last week, new shape, landed for $7000, these used to sell for $30000

yeh r32's will be dirt cheap next year to buy

saw a 32 gtr twin turbo sell for $16 600 fully imported etc etc
