Im really confused how skyline prices seem to be all over the place.

Ive seen an R34 GTR in stock trim with 64k sell for $48k and R32's with the works advertised for $65 k. I know all about condition of vehicle and extras etc but like WOW.. What a difference.

Id love to see the prices of skylines remain stable or even increase so write down what you paid or sold your skyline for in 2003. So some suckers arent selling theres too cheap or worse advertising them at such a high price that people think Skylines are unsaleable. (thats what scared me off a skyline for a few years, I thought "if I buy one, Id never be able to resell it" as some guys advertised theres for 4-6 months every fortnight in the Trading Post)

Ill start,

93 R33 GTS25T - stock except for 18" rims, additional BOV and 3 and half inch exhaust - $20000 - Canberra

-only probs so far have been battery (understandable - car hadn't been driven much for last 3 - 4 months, and air-con compressor doesn't work so have to find replacement....

:headspin: :headspin:

I have been doing a little research lately to land a 96/97 R33 GTR V-spec, Gr 4-5, interior grade A or B, complied, all taxes/duties, rego, tyres blah blah, seems to be around $45-50k give or take a few.

EDIT: price Damn RAWS!

there is lots of good deals out there , like i see people buying r33 gtst's for lets say 26 grand, and you see another one getting it for lets say 12-15 and there laughing hhehe. but there would be a "reason" claimed by the other person saying theres is better bla bla bla . but really its the same thing.

im planning to get a cheap 32 gtst for a thrasher . anyone know where to get one . about 10 - 13 grand is what ill spend. RB20DET i prefer.

94 R33 GTST, pod and 17" Advanti racing wheels, Sep 03

$17500, 65000km (I think) 2nd aussie owner. When I was looking average R33 price seemed to be about $21-22000. There were a couple around 15500 and 13800, but I didn't even go look at them - just thought they must have been crap. Who knows if they actually were.

MINES_DATSUN i do not agree with what you are saying, yes there are many good deals out there. A value of a car may be the SAME to you, but may be different to another person. Yes there are many skylines out there for 12-15k and then there are those people that have bought it for that price may believe that they have got a bargain, and some others like me who may have paid 25k for my car. When i bought my S2 96 skylines, i had many different types of skylines to choice from. Buyin from dealer, private and importing one myself. But the only reason i bought mine for $25k from a dealer was solely because i wanted to be the first australia driver and because of the kms it had on the clock. Ok you may think the clock could be rigged and yes i agree with that too, because there is that possibility, but the condition of my car and because it had a warranty with it was wat made up my mind. At the time when i bought it i found an exact model, colour skyline as mine but had 50k more kms on the clock and it was a private sale, it was selling for 20,500. I considered that with my parents but we opted to go for the 25k because of the reasons above + many more. So although many of you may think i paid too much for my S2 skyline, i bought it for that price for my own personal reasons, but when you buy a car, the price is not the only think that is considered, there are many other factors included.

So dont go saying its the same thing coz its not. Yes it may be the same model of car, but a car is like a person and that it is all different. Each has its own pros and cons. What is a bargain t you may not be for me and wats a bargain to me will not be to someone else. Oh of coz this only applies to 2nd hand cars not brand new cars where we all pay the same amount of money.

Sorry for the long post but i felt i needed to get my point across.

Cheers

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
