oh.. guess that doesn't make sense either i was saying.. when i go to sell my car soon (as that is probably what is happening).. nobody wants to pay about $23k for a nicely modified R33.. they all want to pay as little as possible, and reckon a GTS-T in good condition and pretty well cared for (for the most part) with $10k of mods should only be worth $17k.. ok its not worth $10k more, but it is worth a little more than $17k.

I tried to sell it in melbourne last year and the amount of people trying to beat me down to low figures was stupid.. considering the amount of modiifcations on it (ok, true no big turbo, etc but pretty much everything else).

pissed me off..

[Eug]

alot of people like to modify the cars themselves now...

stocko skylines are getting quite rare.

[TeamKrazy]

yeah, i just bought mine and to be honest i was prepared to pay more for a un modifed one,

reason being you dont know how the modified one has been hammered prior to u buying it

people like to throw money away obviously.. modifying a car from scratch costs soo much..

i bought mine with a nice selection of mods because i knew modding it from scratch would cost me 2x or 3x the price and i'd never get it back. I've done a few things, but the stuff i got on there i'd never bother changing anyhow really.

hence why i may have to consider returning it to stock to sell at a cheap price.. even though to me a stock skyline is yawn territory

anyhow, i was asking what james had as stock as this may help my plan.. but he has gone..

I'm with you on that one Neil...

Many others disagree with us though

yup... usually the impression is modified car = been fanged out hard...

also gives the uncertainty whether or not its been in an accident... (new front bar, etc, etc)

its so ur thing..

[Eug]

gordo.. my car is as stock as a rock... (for the moment)

only extra is the gear knob...

[predator]

hhmmm...

to me if a car is heavily modified if anything will go wrong it would have under stress already If it brakes under stress, it would have already broke by now..but in unmodified form who knows how it will take to the extra power. On road stress testing !

And you never know whether the "stock" car you bought had 50 mods in japan and exactly the same stuff was done to it over there, then returned to stock either. Plenty would have been.

u can check the obvious tho,

always good to look at bolts and nuts in places like by the turbo and intercooler to see if they have been taken off.

[predator]

..and who says stock cars aren't thrashed either?

if anything, you know the guy who has modified the car is an enthusiast, who probably has cared about the car and spent more keeping it all running nicely (extra time in the shop, getting regular tunes), more so than the guy who just bought it and just thrashed it to the shops each day.. so when it had done xx,xxx km he could trade it in for something else?

Would you buy a company or family car over here? even though of course its going to be in "stock" form?

Family...

I drive company cars and I wouldn't buy one I've driven

[predator]

naw, bodykit would stay.. hassle to change. i just want something else.. in the next 6 months at least

anyhow, i'm just arguing for the point of arguing.. i'm not sure what the correct answer is

[Eug]

just looking at the most obvious side Gordo...
