For Sale: 2003 Nissan Skyline V35 350Gt Premium 6Mt

[Seano350GT]

Hi Guys,

Sad to say but my car is for sale. I now have a brand new company car and have recently moved house - therefore i have no space for my V and it sits in the street and the only time i get to drive it is during the weekend

Comes with 3 sets of keys, original owners manual and service books. 2 of the 3 keys have the central locking coded and the 3rd is a valet key.

I have taken very good care of this car, the body and paint are both in very good shape. Interior is also very clean, i have meticulously looked after this car in every way. I am truly sad to sell it but I will have a company car now and have moved house last week and I have no space at all for my car so I would much rather send it off to another enthusiast who will look after it rather than let it sit in the street and age/possibly get damaged etc..

Any questions at all please dont hesitate to contact me I will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Car passed RWC recently nothing at all needed fixing. I have organised a professional detail inside and out just waiting for a buyer.

Need this gone! I hate seeing it sitting in the street not getting driven. This is an awesome, rare and unique car. I love it to bits and you can see by the pictures below, but it has to go.

$19,990 FIRM

GLWS dude....really nice car....

[Seano350GT]

Thanks dude appreciate it. Will be a sad day handing over the keys but the money i'm spending on it now for insurance etc when it doesn't get driven could go towards a house. It's priced to sell too.

[colin.ssc]

I know what you mean. Have yet to sell my second car...insurance + rego + maintenance = sucking my wallet dry.

If only you're in WA...would know one or two keen people.

What are you driving now anyway?

[Seano350GT]

Yeah tell me about it man. That's why i'm trying to sell it as soon as i can so i'm not wasting all this money on the on road costs when it hardly moves. I'm surprised i haven't had hits from local people up here - there's only 3 V35's in Mackay and it turns heads like crazy i thought it'd take a week max to sell it.

Well i sell new Hyundai's so i have a demo i45 Premium at the moment. 180L of fuel a month, maintenance and insurance all covered and all that comes out of my pocket is $55 a week

[colin.ssc]

Oh god, I hate you....=) glass top? The car looks good Do you guys have complaints about the glass leaking or something? The first batch seemed to have a few problems...?

Yea turns heads but then still an import...not alot of people like buying imports for some reason

[Seano350GT]

haha yes, panoramic sunroof. it's pretty awesome. i haven't heard anything, but in saying that i've only just come over here last week from used cars. i would assume after a long period of time the seals would fail and leak.

true that, at the end of the day i just want someone to pick it up that will take care of it the same way i did and improve on it.

[Seano350GT]

BUMP

[SMOKEYV35]

Can't argue with a company car!

People will say 'don't sell, don't sell' - but I am learning pretty quickly that if you have two cars and keep one as a 'toy' it just doesn't get driven.

In the 4 weeks since I've had my Pathfinder, I haven't driven the skyline once - it's either been too wet (and I don't want to take it out to get dirty) or I can't be shagged setting up the ramps needed to get it out of my garage. Pretty much become a 35k dust collector......under a car cover of course ;-)

[Seano350GT]

Yeah exactly man. I mean i'm only young, so i'll save my arse off and get into a nice place with a garage and shit in the next few years and buy a GTR or something of the like for a 2nd car/project or whatever.

Right now this car is costing me money that i need to be saving. The whole time i've owned this car i've absolutely dreaded the idea of not owning it because i love it so much - but the time has come where it needs to go

[SMOKEYV35]

Yeah I got ya - did you get that noise in the new gearbox sorted?

Only downside is these cars are rapidly depreciating. It's a buyers market.... :-(

Rather keep mine than take a dick on the price.

[Seano350GT]

Yeah man, it must have just been the bed in period of the new clutch. That's what i reckon it was.
Very true.. i started at $21,500 and thought it'd sell easy at that given what's done to it/condition etc and the gearbox but yeah it should sell soon.

[Seano350GT]

BUMP - NOW $19,500 NEEDS TO GO

[shiva]

As Smokey said earlier, I put mine on carsales for $15,000 as it is 2003 and AT and has done 110,000kms. Had few people interested with even less offer , so changed mind. Gonna keep it rather than selling it that cheap. The price of this car is depreciating really fast and selling an AT is a tough one. Good luck Sean.

[Seano350GT]

I had one guy offer me 17k and you can guess what i said to him.

Yeah the auto's with that many km's would be a tough one indeed. I have had some local interest this last few days which is good, thanks dude

[sonicii]

The price of this car is depreciating really fast and selling an AT is a tough one. Good luck Sean.

True, probably because of the prices you can import for at the moment. you can pick up a V36 sedan for around $20k complied. And if you are happy with an auto, you can get an early V35 coupe for well under $15k complied.

It is sad that I can now get a V36 sedan for the same price I paid for my V35 sedan less than 2 years ago!

[Seano350GT]

yeah that is true. I think considering the modifications, condition & reasonably low km's i think what i'm asking is fair. That is of course comparing with other cars on the market that are the same and i bet none of those manuals have the same CD009 gearbox as mine.

Anyway, we'll see what happens i guess.

[sonicii]

Sure, I don't think your price is unreasonable. Just the drop in prices for the V36 (and therefore the V35) in Japan, combined with the drop in the value of the yen is making it difficult to sell locally, unless you are wiling to accept a rock bottom figure.

Most won't pay extra for 'mods', and would argue the transmission repair would be 'normal wear and tear'.

Not trying to be the bad guy here, just judging the market as it is at the moment.

i still think you should kick someone elses car out of the driveway seano. keeeepppp iiiiiiitttttt




do it!

[Seano350GT]

yeah Greg i do agree with you there and i understand what you're saying. I got offered a figure yesterday which i might take but i'll see.

haha well i still have the issue of getting it actually in the driveway..
