because they are still worth it in peoples eyes? as long as people are willing to pay 8k then hats what they are worth

when it so happens no one will pay 8k thats when the price drops down

I'm not debating whether the 32s are worthwhile cars. Rather, I'm frustrated that they're still so expensive, considering you can buy a 33 for $4000 in the same condition, and that I bought my 34 GT-T for $12,000 even. It must be said that my 34 needed a new dump/engine pipe and coilpacks, and potentially a new front bar, but still. You see 32s being advertised for well over $12k, with potentially demonic and unreliable modifications.

Anyway as you can probably tell, I'm possibly maybe in the market for a 32, and I'm a staggered that people want 2/3 the price that I paid for my 34, for a car two generations earlier, in stock condition.

Ah well, such is life.

As cars get older their decline in value reduces and reaches a break even point, R32s have pretty much hit this being over 20 years old now, even R33s will be hitting this point soon. The fact is R33's can be over 15 years old now so it is at the point where a well looked after R32 is just as likely to be reliable as an R33. R32s tend to be more 'enthusiast' oriented as well, and from what I can see are usually less showy and more to the point, probably a lot more suited to the track/weekend car market than a R33/R34 is. In a lot of peoples eyes they are a lot more desirable.

I'm biased because I have an R32 for sale for $8000, but it is quite well modified, and I would assume much more reliable than any $4000 R33, and a much better basis for a track car. I've rationalised this by looking at the market and then adding about a 1/3 of the cost of all the modifications I have done(since they have all been done recently). I currently have someone waiting on money to buy mine because they want a good street/track car, I've had other people come check it out and not be interested because of usual old car problems such a few scratches and paint chips and expectations that you would have for a normal car that just aren't realistic and should probably just go buy an R33/34 if they are worried about that stuff.

Fair enough, you make some good points.

I sure do like the R32, because it's a nice and handsome shape, handles well, is the lightest of the lot, and it's fairly cheap and a raw experience.

I'm just frustrated that I can't really afford one without getting a small loan (something which I've sworn never to do again after having the devilish bank on my back for a year due to my R34 loan)

So anyway, good luck to those selling 32s and good luck to those looking.
