nice car dude, good luck with the sale.

done any other mods to it apart from whats listed?

just curious

[asitag]

non premium for $25,800?

you might want to lower the price...

suprised i havent seen you on the coast b4, but i bought my V35 same as yours 03 model in silver of 19k with the same KM on the clock ur going to be looking at 20-23k at the most for it. now with mine at 113,000KM i would be lucky to get 20k for it.

It sucks, but I have to agree, for $25-26k, you could probably get a 6sp premium with sub 50,000km on it.

Not a fan of the debadged look either, but that is just personal taste.

guys cut him some slack...everyone knows you probably won't get the price you start at when selling online...gives room for low ballers. If he starts his price at 22k, some dickhead will probably offer him 18K.

At the end of the day it will sell for whatever people are willing to pay or depends on how desperate the seller is.

GL with the sale.

fair enough, we sold my wife's corolla on car sales for the asking price in 1 week, because we put a reasonable price for it, but I guess if you are in no rush you can price it high and hope for the best.

But if you price it too high you will turn off the genuine buyers who would feel like they are 'low balling' when offering a reasonable price.

that's how I felt when buying my V35 anyway, I wasn't about to offer $5k below an asking price, even if I thought it was $5k overpriced.

the biggest problem with V35s on carsales is most sellers have no idea how much they are worth. There is even a 2005 6sp coupe on there for over $35k!! Who would be willing to offer him $10k below his asking price?

you summed it up pretty well there!

genuine buyers offer about 1-3k lower than advertised price

[mosoto]

White & Black generally sell better & sometimes higher as well because they are less common colours.

[sonicii]

black, yes. White? Not so much, it might be easier to sell than something like silver, but probably won't demand a higher price..

I agree - it is stupid to start at a low price with no space to manoeuvre. I have just listed it and will adjust the price according to the response. Have already had a few enquiries.

[johnr]

Based on your comments and what is available the initial starting price is too high - have reduced it to a more realistic $24000.

Had a few enquiries but no luck selling so far so have reduced price to $23,000 ONO.

The car looks nice, but I am not in the market to buy as I already have mine, so feel free to ignore my questions.

How do you know that your mileage is genuine? I bought mine from a dealer with very low mileage, but I am sure it was wrong (due to the wear in the driver side carpet under the accelerator pedal). I am sure I have read someone mention a way to check?

The best way to tell is the oxidation on the machined aluminium ABS module and the lip on the discs.

I sold my car today and it is the first car that I am sad about selling.

So this ends my association with SAu as I will access WRX and Golf GTi forums from now.

Thanks to all those who helped me in SAu over the 5 years of owning my V35 and to the the guys who have developed and run the site - it is an excellent site and very beneficial to Skyline owners. Enjoy your Skylines!!!!
