Advice on how to sell a car.

[GTS-4OrCeD]

Who here has recently sold their Skylines?

I am hoping to go travelling next year so I am putting the GTS-4 beast on the market.

I will probably be advertising it in the newspapers next weekend, but what other things can I do to sell my car quickly, what has been succesfull for the rest of you guys.

Thanks, Greg.

unfortunatly if you have a nice unusual car you get nothing but tyre kickers good luck but i hate selling cars ..... too many tyre wasters out there & the Autotrader can be pricks to deal with but unfortunately the car buyers bible

[Boostzor]

Dont forget the Quokka. Free to advertise and u get almost as much exposure as the trader.

[MrMayhem]

Alot of people are interested in teh 32s atm

this guys after one atm and I know disturbd has a gts4 manual conversion kit for teh gts4 the auto will be hard to sell.

Good luck Greg

I have had alot of success with buying and selling cars through the Quokka and I have never used Autotrader in my life, so it's definitely worth giving it a go mate. Autotrader are pretty swish, but generally they are more focused on digging deep into your pockets rather than keeping the customer happy - I believe.

[GTS-4OrCeD]

Yeah, but the last thing I want to do right now is pour more money into my car before I sell it, I have thought about making it a manual in the past to sell it easier. Well I will see what interest I get next weekend, and if I get no bites I may have to rethink.

Greg.

[MrMayhem]

What I mean't was you sell him the car and let him know of Barts manual gear

GTS4s are rear in Perth hes got little other alternatives on a local buy

[adam 32]

i sold mine on the forums in the end

but i got alot fo calls for the 32 from the autotrader

and sold the 33 2 years ago in the sunday times

i think the main idea is exposure, without goin crazy advertise it in as many ways as possible so it reaches all potential custoemrs

[MrSnrub]

I sold my 33 via the Autotrader (photo does a lot for selling a car IMO) and yeah, bought the 32 on these forums

Ok, the quokka is great as it's free.....

But statistics speak for themselves........

SundayTimes is most popular newspaper on the weekend......you can get the earlyedition at 6pm on Saturday......CBD first ......... and Motoring section is bigger as it holds more car adverts.........................

Sold my last 4 cars there..........and you get more hits than Autotrader....with photo people make up their mind before they see the car live..........colour the shoot angle, lighting, tyres direction, environment.....

Its emotional view people releas first before they consider the hard facts.......it can be the best and the fastets with bodykit and all, if the photo doesn't do it justice.......

Go the Sundaytimes....... Autotrader is a vaste of time and money......I have been buying that mag when I was looking for my car to buy and have bought 36 issues and only 12% of cars have changed ............waste of money for the buyer, so newspaper is better choice and distribution network is larger

Just keep this in mind:

EVERY CAR HAS A CUSTOMER>>>>>>

Thanks Sexilla, good advice. Do you think it is worth putting it in Saturdays as well?

Greg.

[hks-s14]

From my experience - the Sat West is cr4p...so was Autotrader.

The Sunday Times worked best for me, and will be what I use for selling my 14.

[PSIKO]

yeah sell it first in auto and make them aware there's a guy with the kit, not the other way around

from memory I think I saw Dsturbd wanting 1400 for the box..?? more than for a gtr one ...

greg, I never tried auto trader, but the quokka generated heaps of 'interest' (although I sold it in the end to a guy on the forums)

from what I've heard though the quokka gets more calls than the auto-trader

[wannabe]

As a recent buyer i found my Skyline on the forum.

[sexzila]

Saturdays newspaper is a waste of time and expensive /

quokka and sundayT

[GTS-4OrCeD]

Dang, didn't sell it this weekend. If you or anyone else is interested send me and offer.

Greg.
