Why the sales?

[predator]

Just a little curious over this one..

Lots of people seem to be selling their skylines at the moment (including me ). After a bit of a lull, there are a stack of skylines that seem to be going up forsale at the moment. In VIC, there is about 10 skylines i could probably name that have been put up for sale recently or been sold. Why exactly?

1. People cashing in while they can still get good money for modified cars with the new RAWS system?

2. Some of the younger guys are realising how much it actually costs to keep a skyline on the road after owning one for 6-12 months?

3. People need money for other things such as houses, etc.

4. Insurance costs are going up too much and cops getting to heavy on imports?

5. People want more rice, cheaper TCO and things rather than pure power these days.

I guess mine is a bit of a mix between 1 and 3.. what about everybody else?

3. Im heading OS next year, the best thing i could do is sell my car as even though i now im selling it in the next 4-6 months i cant stop myslef from bolting new bits on it.

im heading overseas next year too but im not selling my ride... going overseas is just an excuse to buy lots of cheaper extras

[doxximus]

not gonna sell but in the market for an investment house, so if i were to sell, that would be the reason

though i didnt even sell when i wanted a turbo car, i just converted it

Im selling mine to buy a better skyline

well, my hubby lost his licence for a year so we decided to sell his GTR - no point keeping it sitting in the garage for a year. I've been driving it but it uses so much fuel! It's just a waste sitting there depreciating in the garage. He'll most likely get another one later when he gets his licence back next year

[legend]

have to say 1 & 3 too, price is steady but when the new GTR comes out the price is going to drop.... So I'd rather have $25K in the house making money than $25K in the garage loosing money, if you get my drift.

I've owned my 32 since January and haven't had one regret.

Nothing quite like a Skyline!

yeah I know not a desparate sale but it would make life easier If you saw my mother in law you would nder stand if you had to get her in the back seat

No. 3 for me, I've had my 33 for almost 3 and a half years now, previous to the skyline I chnaged cars every 6 months.

Now its time to move on with life, buy a house, start a business...it also happens to coinside with turning 25 and my insuranse has never been cheaper....DOH

i've had my skyline for almost a year.

sometimes i wanna sell it and just buy a "normal" car. mainly cos i always wanna keep a low profile and not have people stare.
