Hi everyone,

I'm looking to get a new car end of the year.. probably a Civic or something.. and would just like to ask some of you to post your comments on how much my car is worth if i trade it in, and how much i would be able to get it privately.

It's been well looked after, as I am the 2nd owner since new. I bought the car at 200k mileage.

Since then, I've serviced it every 7-8k and also did the major service at 200k on the day i bought the car cause I didn't want to risk anything.

The car is basically average condition considering its age. Electrics are all still working fine. Mechanically the car sounds really good.

Here's a short list:

White Toyota Vienta Grande 1997 MCV20R (July)

Mileage 221kms

Full Leather Interior

Sunroof

Pioneer 2 Din DVD Player (I installed it at Audio Arts)

Auto

15" Alloys Standard

6 Speaker stereo

ABS

Climate Control

Alarm

Central Locking

Cruise Control

Electric Seats for Driver and Passenger

Woodgrain Dash

Changed all 4 brand new tyres 1000km's ago

There is a dent on the driver's side door which was damaged by the previous owner. I couldn't be stuffed to fix the exterior as I use it for daily and all that matters for me is comfort(interior) and mechanically.

Besides the usual small dint's and paint chips due to the age, there's nothing else I can see on the car.

The car has average mileage considering it is 11 years old which makes it having an average of 20kms per year.

Feel free to post up prices and as the topic states.. its mainly an expression of interest as I am only looking to sell the car end of Nov/Dec.

Cheers :thumbsup:

Bernard

it was worth a shot :ninja:. Add to the "Get Rhys a turbo fund" hehehe

Hehe..

Sooooo.. how much u reckon I can get for my car? Reasonably... cause its mechanically sound and runs real smooth..

Its more for people that want a comfortable, luxurious, daily.. :)

I remember seeing this on the Poker Run, not a bad car for a Camry.

Thats the pricing for a Conquest because I couldnt find your exact model, but if you add $2k to that price to get what the Conquest is really worth, then add another $3k for your model...

About $10-11,000 as a rough guess

Awesome. Rhys has started the first possible price (10k-11k) :dry:

Anyone else?

    • 15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.
    • Mrs rs focus came factory with recaro cs  sportsters in it and they a pain in the ass to get in and out of with the really high bolsters, once you were in them they were one of the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in
    • The NA 2.5 has very little torque. You won't feel much. Those trannies are also a million years old now and it could well be f**ked. First generation electronically controlled autos will often refuse to kick down, ete, etc, depending on what's wrong with them.
    • Yes, but no but yes but no. Those "it's fine up to 500HP" rules and everything else like it were all determined back when the cars were 10 years old. As they are now 30 years old.....what do you reckon the chances of something shitting the bed are? I'd say they are much higher now than they used to be. You might be lucky. You might be unlucky. Spin the wheel and find out. Yeah, nah. It's actually exactly the opposite. Making boost early and having heaps of torque able to be generated right in the middle of the rev range will do more to damage an engine than having to rev it high to make the power. Think about the load on the conrods, bearings, etc, to make 400HP at 4000 rpm, vs 400 HP at 6500 rpm. So someone has already "let the Nissan out" which is how we describe the increased chance of a fiddled with engine to have had something done wrongly. Many more engines that have been opened die than stock ones do - even if you into consideration how they are treated wrt power levels and the like. Again, not saying that yours will definitely have been put back together by a moron. But the possibility does exist. It's still a lottery. Spin the wheel. What weakspots?
    • Sell it and buy a turbo version will make it a lot faster
