J3TR33 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) Hey guys, What is a reasonable price to sell a R33 series 2 1996 model at? Non-turbo, Automatic. Its currently turbo converted with a few mods, but I'm thinking of converting it back to NA if I can get a better price. Had a quick browse on carsales and realised there is a shitload of R33s, all between 8-12k that are factory turbo and manual. Lol yeah I also made a thread about whether to convert it from NA to turbo, which I did and it was a good decision considering the car runs well and is very fun to drive.

J3TR33 Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Thanks for your reply. That's what I am thinking to. Anyone in the market for a NA?

KezR33 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hunt down all the Skylines in your state on carsales that are similar to yours in condition and model, drop the price $500-$1000 (depending how fast you want to sell) and it'll go quick.

J3TR33 Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 After a good browse on car sales, there aren't many NA's for sale, and even less series 2's or in black. I am thinking a price of 10-11k in NA condition with some mods remaining would be a good price. What are people's thoughts? Oh and i'l also have a complete turbo conversion for sale if i do go ahead. Hmmm. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358509-reasonable-price-to-sell-a-series-2-r33-for/#findComment-5740997 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm. I think you'll stuggle for more than 8k to be honest. Given that every P-plater wants a manual, you're at a big disadvantage trying to get that much for an auto. Can get clean R34 autos for that much and manual R34's are going to as little as 13-14k these days and I know you said it's modded, but kids are stupid these days. They'll sooner spend a heap of money modding their stock car rather than save money from the beginning and buying a modified one.

Seing as there are so many turbo R33's on the market, I think going back to the NA route I'l get more money with the car and parts that I sell. Thanks truffles.

SKITTLES Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 All I can say is good luck. I've had two people interested in my car and one tyre kicker... I paid for the premium ad on carsales too. I've got mine up for 11.5k which isn't too bad. Last guy had it up for 14 which was over priced.

XY33 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I got a non-turbo R33 (automatic) as well, and it's a series 2, I had my full license when I was purchasing it just because it's cheap and in good condition. But now I am really disapointed with the power, and considering on selling or swapping it, I would be really happy if someone likes to swap with a manual GTS-T, I'm even willing to pay more dollars to him if his vehicle is about the same condition as mine..... Btw, my car has ran about 120,000km, 96 model in silver, how much do u guys think I can sell it reasonably...?

I don't have money to modify it... and I know it's much harder to sell a modified vehicle with a higher price Still I can't believe anyone can sell a non-turbo R33 for 10-12k, coz even some non-turbo R34s are around the same price...

Galois Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Sorry that was slightly exaggerated, the autos are a bit less but with decent kms and being a series 2 you should make some cash buying a series 1-2 gtst. I was saying spend the made money on mods, modding before selling is a waste.

I'll consider about it. btw, how much would the insurance be for Justcar if I bought a gts-t (almost a stock one)? and I'm 22 right now with full license.

That's horrible price..... just comparing to the vehicle itself...... I only spent 400+ on my non turbo, now I think to pocket its slowness is a good advice from u Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358509-reasonable-price-to-sell-a-series-2-r33-for/#findComment-5773835 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galois Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 That was for full comprehensive of course. You only spent 400 on an NA?! I spent more than that on a 90s camry when I was 20!

I see, urs was full comprehensive, that's why. I only bought the third party + steal and fire So what about third party for a gts-t, how much u think it would cost?

XY33 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Weird... the third party insurance for either turbo or non turbo r33 are the same... which makes me hesitating on swapping again Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358509-reasonable-price-to-sell-a-series-2-r33-for/#findComment-5774306 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galois Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Interesting, just did it for me on a 96 gts and gtst and 3rd party were both 292, and the comprehensive for gtst was $400 more at $1670 than the gts. I guess it's just a basic number they use, the big costs only come up when you hit a ferrari anyways. I personally wouldn't go 3rd party on a car worth more than 3 or 4k, it's just too much of a gamble. And if someone hits you it's far easier having your insurance company pay you quickly than chasing some douche through the courts trying to get payment (it's easy for the insurance companies who have lawyers on hand).
