R32 Gt-r V Spec Pricing

[WHITE R32]

hey guys im wondering if anyone could point me towards a place where i could value my car

im thinking about selling my r32 gtr v spec 1 but im finding so many conflicting prices

j-spec had 3-4 black r32 gtr v specs for sale a while ago (6-12 months) ranging from 45-52k most had twice the km as mine and wouldnt have been in as good condition as mine

but i am aware that there have been a few on ebay for as little as 25k again with more km and nowhere near the condition or originality of mine

im looking at selling mine to buy a late model evolution lancer or to put the money into my business

if anyone is willing to help with the pricing of my vehicle im happy to supply further details

alternativly if any importers/agents would like to list the car for sale for commission from the sale please contact me via pm

thanks

Seem to be kicking off at about $30k for a car you would have (from about this time last year when I was shopping) There was an IMMACULATE v-specII in Melb with 100k (But seemed genuine) for $32k But it sat on carsales for about 3 months. I payed $22k, but my car is in need of paint, and I still feel I got a bargain. 70-80k guestimate (67 on a Nismo speedo) old very neat apart from paint showing it's age. Without seeing it, or without ks, I would say $30 is a medium price. The 2 on ebay that were big dollars were v-IIs, but I personally could not see the value in either of them, but would be VERY keen to know what they pulled

I'm pretty sure I remember the ones on J-spec you're referring to, and they def didn't have high k's. In fact one them had something like less than 30000 with log books, and completely original.

As for what your one is worth, it all comes down to condition, mileage and of course proof to back it up, and the most important factor - how much someone really wants that car.

It's going to be hard to find a place to value it though as not many of the places that do it would have a clue about what the car is, its target group or historical values.

Really prob the best shot is to test the market. Put it up for a high price and go down to where you start getting serious offers.

Personally, and just my opinion - i think if it has upwards of 70000k's with no log books and some after market parts, you'd struggle to get $30k for it.

At the same if its pretty original with log books, and you luck out and find a collector who really wants one - then well the sky's the limit.

There's been alot of hype lately about 32's appreciating in value, and i think genuine clean examples are. But generally i think unless its something really special people are still not prepared to pay too much extra over a run of the mill GTR.

To be honest the only stock 32's I've seen go for decent coin in Australia are the Aus delivered ones. Which makes sense as technically they're the rarest of any of the 32's and the ones that most Aus buyers with cash are interested in.

In the US street registered versions go for around $40k-$50k but thats because they're rarer than hens teeth and impossible to register new cars at the moment.

Sorry about the long post, and thats all just based on what i've seen.

As i said, put it up for a high amount and test the market, fingers crossed you find someone who really wants the car.

Would love if you keep me updated even by PM on how you go, as I'm very interested.

Cheers

x2 on the Jap Vspec 2's. The ones I was looking at (around 18mths ago) were collector cars owned by Jap collectors. There was a silver Vspec2 that had fark all k's that went for around 70k landed and comp'd. It was immaculate. The other was a white car, still had the pastic on the door handles (the outside!!). Not sure what this one went for but it would have been huge.

It its as neat as you say hold onto it. Bobby would like to do this with his N1 but unfortunatley he will be selling it to me, he is not aware of this yet though lol.

[WHITE R32]

thanks for the input guys

my car is showing 37k and was imported and complied with these km's and the condition of the car underneath and the like leads me to believe this is correct as when i bough the car it still had the tamper proof seal on the cas bolts as it had never ever had a timing belt water pump idler or tensioner thus the motor has never had any internal work

the paint is new inside is very tidy in line with km's as is boot trim and original brembo rotors and i think pads maybe

i do not have any certification to back up km's as we all know its difficult to get and rarely sold with the cars....but this doesnt mean its not correct

its a genuine black pearl v spec 1 10/93 model 100% factory radio exhaust wheels brakes airbox everything car has some factory fitted n1 options such as knee rests extra brake duct type things and strut brace

i love the vehicle and always wanted one and its a great car but after 2 years stressing over small details on a "resto" job im just over it sadly.... plus its way too nice to drive im affraid it will get marked

There is a minter (9800km) 94 GTR, not a vspec though. He is after $40k which I think is a pretty fair price. 37k is very low kms. You really should shed it man. If you were to price it i guess $40-45k would be a start price. You will have a very thin market though, only a collector will see the real value of this car, and my wife wont let me buy another one.

haha mate yeah, i hear ya there

its mainly because currently i have 2 "investment cars" that just sit in the shed the gtr been one of those and i really am starting to think now that i have a business if the money would be better off been used somewhere else

Love your work!

Sounds like an awesome car.

The only one downside is proof. On the flip side maybe speak to someone like shannons about what there view is on cars like this, in terms of everything pointing to it being all original and legit. They may also be able to put you in touch with valuers. See if you can find someone in the auction department.

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

As good as Shannons are they dont have much of an idea about the 32's. They are unaware of the value of the aus versions let alone the rarer JDM cars. How did you go with your's? PM me the insured value if you like, mines pretty interesting.

[mxfly]

If only you had log books, service history and other records to prove the mileage, it would be worth a lot more. But a collector will always want those attributes as that's what will really make the car more valuable in the future, is the history of a car.

[WHITE R32]

yeah its a shame but unfortunatly theres nothing i can do about it....

the condition backs it up in my eyes also

I used to see a Silver V-spec II came all the way down from SA or WA to race at Sandown club days.

[WHITE R32]

now thats dedication for ya

Hey RBNT,

Do you have the link for the gtr you saw on carsales, i cant find it.

Thanks

[gtr fan]

Well the VSPEC1 is the more desireable of the two isn't it? Looks great, love the plate!

This is a crazy thought I know, but wouldn't this car now be quite desireable in Japan? I have no idea how you could go about selling a car there, maybe something worth looking into, maybe not.

G/L great car!!

[Ten Four]

Lol, Vspec II > Vspec

Theres a guy in WA trying to sell a 94 for 20k and no luck.

[gtr fan]

Lol, Vspec II > Vspec

I meant as in there were fewer v spec 1 than 2 made. As such I think the 1 is more desireable (I don't I could be wrong)?

[Ten Four]

VspecIIs are more desirable mate.
