Whats My Skyline Worth?

[TTT]

cars are a hobby not an investment.. well some cars that have letter like GTHO or HQ might well be good investments.. but our car's aren't.

I doubt you were looking to get the money you spent on it back.

You will lose money on it no doubt.

but you will make more money in total by taking the car back to stokish and selling the parts off.

I'd say looking at those pics there is probably a few thousands worth of stereo which you would make in selling it all compeltely seperate (not as a package)

the motor (stick the stocker turbo's back on) would sell for $3K ish or so (is it R32 or R33 rb26?)

the turbo kit you could almost make back what you paid for it.

those wheels would sell quickly at boostcruising or fastfours or hot4s no doubt.

etc etc..

4 door series 1 skyrine with manual and RB25 back in there in that colour might sell for about $10K

then with the sale of your ECU and all other bits, you'd have closer to $20K then you're ever going to see from this car sold as is.

thanks for the replies. truth be told my reasoning for wanting to sell is to buy something a lot more simple and spend the coin making it go, but since everyone feels im better off parting it out i might aswell sell off the stereo keep the car and work the engine.

I wouldnt mind entering it in one show before i rid myself of it or strip it back, not to win but just so ive done it. might look at auto salon, brisbane.

Yeah look, Ill be honest, I dont like the car much - not at all to have a dig at you, simply personal opinion.

With chrome rims and a very loud colour like that one, you limit the market of who might be interested in the car quite a lot.

You might well get extremely lucky and find someone with just the same taste as you who will love the car as it is - but unfortunately, chances are most prospective buyers either wont want a car that looks just like yours, or will want to do it themselves.

Best bet is definitely to part it out and sell it closer to stock. Will make most likely a little more money, and it will actually sell quicker that way Id say.

Good luck mate!!
