Car Price Changes

Hi,

Just wanted to get another person's input as i'm not sure the reasoning. What is with so many cars these days listing their price and increasing it by large increments a few hours/days after listing. Like most individuals who follow the cars will know it has increased and many especially on carsales have notifications for price changes. Anybody have any clue?

Regards,

Peter

No idea man but the 32 gtr I got this year was advertised at $36,999 in November last yeah then the price went to $39,999 in march this year, I went and had a look at the car in may and mentioned the price change, we haggled for abit and I still feel like I got it for a good price but I wish I haggled with him prior to the $$$ increase in march lol

Like wth, 97k to 120k

[Old man 32 GTR]

This is someone trying to make a quick buck, this car was sold the new owner has listed it for 120k.
One guy also bought 2 33gtrs both of which I had looked at.
The new owner then advertised them a week later for 10k and 15k over what was previously asked
AND they have now both sold!

lots of people does that,buy and sell for a quick bucks, also poeple will set higher price so buyer will be curious about it, ie. inspection and ask questiones

They have become a capital investment and prices are being inflated much like the housing market. The problem is there will be people who will pay the asking prices which gives "investors" incentive to buy up and raise prices more.

I think the OP is referring to the same seller, i.e. "increasing it by large increments a few hours/days after listing." and it's probably because they've under priced it originally, had 10 people instantly say i'll buy it at the asking price and realise they might be able to get more.

 

[Anfanee]

Probably because they get a shit ton of people interested, so they think they can bump the price up

Interest and people putting money on the table are different things. I see these cars which have a random price increase and then still sit on carsales for months on end. Not many R34's move from what i've seen unless they are priced realistically as it seems importing it better value for money for those cars at the moment. Also a big flood of dealer imports atm overcharging massively

Your on the money there Peter, I have seen heaps of these prices going all over the shop.

The white R32 in Victoria was put on Carsales the other day for 33k and an hr later it was 39,900..

Another is a silver one in nsw was 39,990 then went down to 35,x00 then up to 36,800 for a month and now it's back at 39,990 haha.
