Best Way To Sell A R33 Gtr?

[KR4-GTR]

Hi all,

After a few weeks, I have finally got my act together and put my car up for sale properly!

I have started with listing it on carsales, which also puts you on car point - etc.

Does anyone else have any other ideas or advice in regards to selling a GTR? Apart from listing it here on the forums! haha

Being a specialist car, I guess you need to ensure you are targeting the right audience.

Those who have had the experience previously selling a GTR, please share your advice! How did you sell it, how long did it take - etc.

Cheers.

Best Way? Convince the buyer its a 32GTR :-)

Jokes aside, I think carsales/carpoint are by far the largest site at the moment so i would stick with them. Just be patient. I sold 2 V35's through them and it took a couple of months but got the price i wanted and not a cent less.

My suggestion, take the best photo you can, and put it in Unique Cars with a colour ad. The buyers in there are older and generally better cashed up.

Most important thing - Price it correctly.

Don't dream on about some unrealistic price, you'll see a dozen and then some cars listed on carsales.com.au (and various other sites) that are far too high for what they are.

Price it well, it will sell.

Otherwise be prepared to have it up for sale for 3-6 months as there is no shortage of GTR's on the market, never is a shortage really.

If you have it for sale for 2-3 months with out any serious interest then you clearly have not priced it well and you simply have to wait - meanwhile the overall price keeps dropping... so makes sense to price correctly.

Also dont say "I'm willing to take offers lower blah blah", just price the car at the price you will sell for. EG. Don't price it $3000 higher than you will take. People won't even ask.

Correct pricing generates much better interest and will sell much faster everytime.

They are hardly a 'specialist' car. Specialist would be a Ferrari/Lambo. R33 GTR's are a dime a dozen.

Just because its kinda-limited, doesn't mean much to a buyer unless they are an enthusiast and you'll be waiting for a while for those kinds of people if it doesn't sell right away.

If it had been the factory dark blue i would've snapped your arm off for it!

Just an update to this thread!

Car sales premium ads definately do work.

The car sold in less than two weeks to the first genuine buyer that called, and I had 3 others lined up for if the deal fell through!

...and now you can sit back in your banana chair next to the pool, smoke a cigar and keep on knocking back offers on your cordless ph.

Good feeling?

Congrats!
