Eh, I couldn't be passionate about driving a train around all day, even if the pay is great. 

Also have to deal with the public way too much (help disabled passengers on, probably deal with snotty kids etc.)

No one hurt. Glad they got him! Shame for another owner a skyline :(

It's kinda got to the point it is more advertised in other areas as well rather than a mainstream car site.

 

try finding a cefiro on car sales..just not there they on FB groups forums and such now as free.

so they end up with a few dream boats that suddenly think something is rare and put price up..does not mean they are getting that price.

That is true... I know a number of import owners too tightassed to pay for advertising. Then complain when they get offered significantly less because the only other price reference is other facebook cars.

mainly as they expect to get low balled by flogs....

so say you want 30K for it, you know they are going to offer 50% so you need to advertise 40K + to be able to start negotiations.

 

yet you see the cars that are advertised correctly with a reasonable price sell quickly (and prob get spammed by flogs at same time)

I disagree - deterring genuine buyers with high prices in order to appeal to low ballers / dreamers doesn't scream sound logic to me

The sellers control the commodity price and the buyers determine if it changes hands, and unlike Cobra replicas these are changing hands

Even if sellers don't get their asking prices, these are still a good indicator of appreciation given carsales and the forums were littered with asking prices in the low 20s a year ago

The guy we bought the Cube from had it on car sales for a month, gumtree and eventually 2 auctions on eBay. (He ended the second one early for us to buy it on the spot) apparently he had flogs low balling him all the time, but also people saying they want it and agreeing to a price then never turning up. Import cars regardless need to come with a disclaimer "expect low ballers and flogs"

Anna, it isn't the case for imports. Essentially with cars in general.

I'm currently selling my Golf R and I've had weird SMS of lowballing and request me to deliver to them, I just ignore them. Even got a swap offer which I declined cos the car is under finance that I've stated on the ad. I think people these days aren't too keen to take their time reading the ad. 

And I've priced it at 2nd cheapest on the market in Australia judging from my current research, and I've only advertised on carsales.

I think you're forgetting the intrinsically rewarding benefit of euthanising those who've had enough

Have attended to a few of these incidents, aftermath is literally a splat. Would not be able to tell if it was a human or an animal. 

The undertaker's that come out and take the pieces away apparently makes a crap load of money.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
