Eoi - Might Have To Sell :(

[bbenny]

Unfortunately due to bad sales in winter my business is having some short term cash-flow issues... Which means my Stagea may have to go.

Which sux as I will surely buy another in a few months time when things are not so tight!

I have had a quick look on the forums and car sales etc, but don't know what a fair price for my car would be.

Realistically I know I will never get back what I have put in. But what would be a fair list price for this:

It has been babied, garaged and serviced every 5,000 with the best oils etc and is in exceptional condition.

2001 M35 250 RS with Factory Aero Kit (Inc the wing!)

Odo - 112k

Modifications:

Kakimoto R Exhaust - cat back

BC Coil-overs

Selby adjustable Sway Bars

Apexi SAFC II

Pro-S tuned ECU

Enkei GTC-01 19x8.5 +22 rims

2006 350Z Track Brembos with DBA Slotted front rotors

Hybrid Front mount intercooler kit

HID Headlights

K&N panel air filter

Panasonic head unit

Reverse Camera

Ipod connectivity

Pictures: Big thanks to Chris (Spoolin) for his mad camera skills!

Looks good, nice colour and the rims are sweet. You might want to pull the aftermarket parts and sell separately, get more cash that way.

Price wise take a look at whats on carsales and compare. That'll give you an idea.

[Paramour]

$17,500.00 would be a fair price

[bbenny]

thanks guys

Yeah I was thinking around $17k would be realistic.

I toyed with the idea of parting the aftermarket bits, but dunno if its worth it...

sweet stag, im looking in a few months but not yet:( ive been looking and doing research on prices and mods etc and yeah i think around the 17 mark is on the ball. Thats what id be happy to pay when the time comes with one like that, only prob is no sunroof which might turn a few people off. i do like yours better with that interior rather than the leather.

hope sale goes well. maybe ill go to bank and see if i can get cash now

[bigkevracer]

I think in that kind of condition you'd probably get $17k even if you swapped the wheels and brakes back to stock.

[Glitch]

I'm certainly interested also if its around the $17k mark and will have finance in place in a couple of weeks, or worst case end of month.

Have you done any maintenance on the turbo or dump pipe as I’ve read that these are susceptible to failure around the 100k km mark?

But again, certainly keen and will be in contact in a couple of weeks if you decide to go ahead with the sale.

[Dunc]

Given the obvious interest in the vehicle, Id say $17k would be undervaluing it. However at such a price it looks like you'd be ensured a fast sale. Hold on to it if you can mate, its obvious you've put a lot of work in to it!

[lilcrash]

Any cashed up friends, just get one of them to pawn it for you, like they give you 17k and you give them 17k to get it back in a few months?

[Cowboy1600]

With what little I know of M35s, I'd say $17k would be what you ask, as is, if you needed a quick sale.

Obviously you know your situation better than I, but do the sums carefully. Is liquidating the Stag the most cost effective way to inject some cash into your business? You are no doubt going to end up way out of pocket as you won't get back nearly what you have put into it. Add in the costs of selling and then one day buying another and I'm willing to predict there are much more cost effective ways to source some cash, such as a Line of Credit or Personal Finance or something to that effect. Worst case is you can always sell the Stag later if things do not pick up and you need to cover the LoC.

A personal loan will cost you principal + say 10% if it takes you a year to square it off. That's $1000. Are you going to lose more than that by selling the Stag? I'll predict yes, by a lot.

But, again, you obviously know your situation much, much better than I (as I know nothing about your individual circumstance).

[jasevr4]

$17k for that is a bargain IMO. Personally if I was selling I'd try and find some 350Z track wheels and at least sell the wheels separately.

[ironpaw]

Pro-S tuned ECU?

What's that?

[Daleo]

Such a shame Benny; yours is my favourite NM35.

Except for mine.

Is there no other alternative? I don't need a new bike, or any sexy bits right now, so I can't help you that way either.

Perhaps a merciless internet spam advertising campaign would help; I'm sure it works with Viagra...

[iamhe77]

Pro-S tuned ECU?

What's that?

Japanese ECU remap.

No speed limiter, higher redline and boost from memory

[Marshstag]

Those photos are awesome mate.

+1 that is a damn fine M35 - and I'm not normally that keen on 'em!

[bbenny]

Thanks for all the kind words guys!

The Pro S is a tuned ECU as iamhe77 said, no speed limit, higher rev limit, higher boost and timing changes too I believe.

At the moment its not 100% yet that I will have to sell this as I am working on alternative finance avenues, but should push come to shove I wanted to know what would be a fair price for my beloved Stagea.

[Cowboy1600]

Out of interest, what do you sell?

Doh!

Thanks

Myself and a few of my friends are in the market for new bikes. I shall check it out.

Unfortunately a few others have already bought bikes recently - would have been good to direct them to Ribbed as they all spent between $2k and $5k.
