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.)

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

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

Fark me 33R prices are soaring

Only two crappy examples this side of 35k on carsales

Wait til the states get their hands on them

[UNR33L]

Who would want such a crappy car 

[emts]

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.

[Leroy Peterson]

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.

[Birds]

Forum pricing for 33Rs even higher than carsales

[emts]

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)

[Birds]

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

[emts]

doesn't scream sound logic to me

 

 

welcome to the internet...

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"

[Leroy Peterson]

yep. Cubes especially. The demand is there, but people dont want to pay what they cost to bring over and comply (which sellers want to get back in re-sale)

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.

Also, Commodore folks are the worst.

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.

[Rekin]

hey guys...
 

Duck meet?

you got duck? i got the meet
