Roughly How Much Is A Passage Worth?

[cheekystylez]

Hey guys,

Just wondering how much a Passage is worth.

I was thinking about buying one, the guy wants $7300 with 1 year rego or $6200 for blue slip and no rego. The car is in fairly decent condition.

Do you think its worth it?

It would want to be mint. Passages rarely get within $2-3k of HR31 coupe prices, so with good coupes at $8-10k, it would want to be pretty reasonable.

Most go in the $5-7,500 range.

Need to know more though! Is it RB20DET? if it is, NICS or ECCS? Auto or manual? LSD or open diff?

Velour "pimp" style interior or skyline style cloth GT interior? Early or late model panels and lights?

mods??? ive seen some go for about 4 grand right up to 10-11 grand... it depends on the condition... any rust check on front quarter panel down very bottom under indicators... ks? straight body? interrior??

im pretty sure all the passages came out with automatic transmission coz they were the luxury type model... and the rb20 is the same as the hr31 coupes not sure wether nics or eccs always get mixed up with the two

Sorry,

Yeah i think they did only comeout in Auto, unless it was changed afterwards.

4 door pillarless, RB20DET, ECCS (swicthed from the NICS), Auto, navy blue "pimp" style interior lol with passage embroidered on the head rests.

Performance wise not much done. He's done the exhaust, switched the turbo to a ball bearing, boost guage, boost controller, turbo timer, front mount not on yet but i can take that too and everything is colour coded.

Theres no stereo in it he's put it in another car but will sell with the original double din + spare parts and the original mats that came with it they r ugly but they have like a little plaque on them stating what the car is etc..

Hope that helps a little i have only seen the car once, will go back for a second look.

I was looking to buy a passage a year ago.

I checked out quite a few $2500-$6700 and one mint black one with new 18"s in a yard, $9990 on the windscreen, salesman said I could have it for $8k, $7k if I had my own wheels.

I found the ones for private sale were usually overpriced, totally unrealistic where yards were more in touch with the market with tidy examples for $4990.

Some private ones had shocking rust, wobbly windows, ripped rubbers, too rough for a yard but still $5-6k

Ended up buying r32gtst instead for $9k.

Nah, they were available manual for sure - basically anything you could have in a coupe you could have in the hardtop.

I think its priced a tad high honestly, I'd be thinking $6500 with the rego is a ballpark figure, but then you are getting some good bits....

If you could get it for say $6800-7000 reg'd it would be ok, not a screaming deal but ok.

How many kms?

Is it the early style front (like a pintara) and rear (lights without the clear bubble covers)? What year?

If its any older than mid '87 , $7k is a lot of money too.

also this was raised on the r31skylineclub forum something about the chasis twisting or the roof twisting coz of no b pillar or something like that... make sure u check that out before you buy

Like a cefiro?

The Passages are very cheap. You can pick them up for little more than $1-2k over the price of a good stock aussie one, for that you get the RB20DET, IRS + R200, HICAS, bigger brakes, much more luxurious interior and many more features.

They are also cheaper generally compared to 2 door HR31 imports.
