yer manual with 86500 on the clock...

mate there is people selling them for $20k+ as well

a car is what someone is willing to pay for it. redbook is a disgrace, i would never use that, it under values cars by massive amounts....

the insurance companies use that as market value, so they can screw you when it comes to claim time

I paid $10900 for my '94 R33 4 door with 68000klms on the clock, no scratches, no dents perfect engine, just complianced. Came with a touch screen head deck too!!  :(

yeah, but its a 4 door....

*hides from 4 door owner flaming

Whats wrong with a 4 door?? :P

Could have bought the 2 door he had for the same price with less klms :)

Four door was what i wanted, rare.

And 4door_Sleeper where did you get that kit and how many $$$$????

I don't why they balked at $13k.. thats perfectly possible these days with the price falling so much on them.

True.

R33s are undervalued while R32s are holding their value well.

I don't know why you have problems with the RTA.

Back in 2002 I stated mine at $12k??? Something ridiculous and they thought it was fine.

Must have been thinking about old R31s that day!

T.

4door_Sleeper where did you get that kit and how many $$$$????

Thanks GTS-TBoy

The kit is a mix of bits form Australia and New Zealand (I had lots of trouble finding anything I liked for a 4 door, and the Impul kits gave me nothing but grief) All up, fitted it probably cost my $3000

Heres another pic from a different angle

You need to pay stamp duty when you first register it.

Can you prove you paid $13k for it? Or have you imported it?  When I did my GTR recently they accepted the FOB $5K! rofl

ahh...for that . yeah i know bout that...but yeah, when i got my car the seller agreed to put $2k on the papers instead of $6500 so yeah...never got asked a question

also heard from someone on here, who i wont name, that they did it with their skyline for $5k for an R33....

so do they check into this shit? or is it safe to "alter" these figures. lol

From memory the tax is on the the GREATER of the "Purchase Price" or "Market Value", and there are penalties for declaring under the correct figure. That said I dont know if they do check, and I think most people drop the private sale rice by a few thousand.

Be reasonable (especially if then question you) and you should be OK, its not worth the hassel for a saving of under $100 (one tank of fuel)

yeah but cant u argue that you bought it off a mate etc, and he wasnt going to give it to you free, but was extremely generous and sold it to you ridiculously cheap...shit like that!

    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.  
    • Careful with posts like that around here without the flame suit on @cobo_11! 😂😂 My 330i journal is on here too. That car was so good and super reliable. We still have a 130i in the family which is almost identical to the 330i and easier to find in manual. It has also been almost faultless over the 6 or so years in the family.  I used to want an M car a lot more than I do now but if I'm honest and without trying to sound like a wanker, I can get such good performance and handling out of my 335 without needing to worry about all the crap that goes along with M car ownership. I don't need to worry about my bearings or subframe issues or the cost of replacing brakes or suspension or whether it has been impeccably maintained. And I can leave it places and not get upset when it's always filthy.
