Who here has recently sold their Skylines?

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 :)

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.

dont take her to car yards for an insulting under value trade in

I think auto trader is good lil exy

sunday times is dead

quokka is ood

forums

But maybe the forementioned guy might be interested if you were to mention dsturbd's gear

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.

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.

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

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 :D

Just keep this in mind:

EVERY CAR HAS A CUSTOMER>>>>>>

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 :)

    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
