D2K77 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Hey Guys Now this isn't a sell my car thread but just looking for a bit of advice. I've recently moved to the UK due to my partners family reasons and I have had to unfortunately put my car up for sale Was thinking about transporting it over but the costs of doing that and the prices of cars here won't make much sense doing it. So I'm a complete Numpty in selling a car privately as I have never done it before and I have had my ad up on car sales for a week and half now and I have not had one person contact me. I've got it up for $12,500 which I thought was a fair price considering the condition my beloved V35 is in but i guess not here is the ad I put up http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-Skyline-2004/SSE-AD-3101714/?Cr=16&sdmvc=1 So any advice on what I should be selling it for? I'm in no rush to sell, it's currently sitting in my parents massive garage with no finance owing but I'm wanting a few people to be interested in it Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/451064-what-should-i-price-my-v35-at/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonicii Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I think the price is quite reasonable. it's just not a good time to sell, lots of cars for sale and not as many buyers, especially for 'niche' cars like these. Some have had to wait months for a buyer to come along. The reduction in the value of the Yen is also making it very cheap to import one of these.. which isn't helping local sales either.

Nightcrawler Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Yeah, be prepared for a selling period of around 6 months. Even when I sold my R34 and S15 previously it took a LOOOOOOONG time. As awesome as these cars are, the market is flooded and people generally don't know what the heck they are, even after all these years.

Guest Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) Leave the price as is, it's very fair. It's a popular colour and a great car... the only two aspects that may put off a buyer is the level of trim (eg: non-Premium pack) and those rear park sensors. Even so, it's priced well and looks mint Edited November 24, 2014 by Sikahalv Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/451064-what-should-i-price-my-v35-at/#findComment-7431724 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoir Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Do you plan to renew the rego when it expires? It is highly unlikely that you can sell it before Dec 2014... And people will have a lot less incentives to buy an unregistered car. Also your Carsales ad said the car is regularly serviced in North Sydney Nissan, but the car has a QLD plate and your location is QLD as well. Would that be a typo? Other than that the car looks great - a reasonably price for 80k genuine mileage and decent condition.

_thom_ Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 It's good that you're not in a rush to sell, as many people have commented that the market has taken a hit. $13K seemed like a fair price when I was looking 12 months ago. You may have to price yours a bit less as it's non-premium, non-colour matched parking sensors, 17" wheels, etc. Hopefully you get a decent price!

D2K77 Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Great thank you for the advice fella's I'm from Queensland and bought the car in Queensland but lived in Sydney for a year and didn't bother changing the rego, I had a strange inkling I was going to move again ha! Im definitely going to pay another 6 months on rego as by the sounds of it my dad is having fun with it on the weekends. Will keep price as is.

jjjones Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 12.5g is quite a good price. I'm willing to bet no ones contacted you because of those parking sensors.

sonicii Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I put genuine J31 Maxima parking sensors on my sedan, and they fit quite flush and don't protrude like those.

D2K77 Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 haha I didn't really notice the parking sensors but you guys are probably right, not much I can do about it now though as I'm already in the UK. Have had 5 people save it as their favourite on car sales so I guess thats a start. Still gutted I'm selling though it's like giving up the family dog.

AxlOz Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 If this were FS a year ago, and in Sydney I probably woulda grabbed it at 12.5k.. These are great cars, and i'd rather buy from someone on SAU who is an enthusiast, not a hack..

BASHO Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Have you thought of putting this on Fleebay ? I'm not sure of the cost , it's % of sale thing and it ain't much , used to be a place for crappy not worth the listing price beaters but since carsales got cheeky with their prices and the pic link sizes are shit fleebay has some surprisingly good vehicles on the site. Just a thought--- If you've still got it late Dec I'd be a goer for it and the Qld reg would suite me just fine as that's where I'm stuck for the foreseeable future Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/451064-what-should-i-price-my-v35-at/#findComment-7434380 Share on other sites More sharing options...
