it's costed me about 30k up till now...and that's way too much for a 15 yo car...

i dont think i'd be able to get much more than 15k for it, but let me know what you guys think, any advice is welcomed

[-=Tyson=-]

hey buddy my mate bought a RB26DETT ceffy from japan for 18g so i think you can get that. good luck with the sale .

[konect]

Dont sell out without driving it !

You would be so pissed off once you saw how much fun someone else was having with it. And yes, with all that stuff u could get much more that 15k for it.

[CEF11E]

Its only worth what someone is willing to spend on it. If early 20s kids hafe 30g to spend then its worth that.

but unfortunatly they dont. so you should get 20g for it. considerng all the goodies.

[dangerous_daveo]

I've spent almost that much on mine too... But then I have done 65000kms on mine too.

I'll do ya a deal. You paint it bright red, I'll swap ya for a nice economical 2l cefiro . Only condition is, I keep my wheels.

[D-limo]

Sounds nice. Pics would be sweet. I'd also say 18g +

Take it to a track day... I'm sure you'll find a way to keep it after that.

[sky80]

thanks fellas...i'll sort something out when i get back to the country...i just want a nice and easy everyday car...this is too hard for everyday use...and seeing i failed some stuff at uni...i have to keep trekking across town everyday...

[someonestolecc]

20k minimum. I mean even if someone is gonna take the rb26 out.. with all the engine bits fuark that's a 10k engine.

Bummer man I know how having to sell cos if money feels :\

[S13Deviat]

I think everyone goes thru this phase at some point of ownership of a performance vehicle. I did it twice when i owned my R33 but eventually sold in for financial reasons, only to spend more on the next car, Satria GTi. Then sold that due to $$$$ and bought a $3,500 A-B Nissan Pulsar.

Only to 6 mths later buy the Cefiro. Due to unforseen costs on the Ceffie I to have looked into selling it, but i think u just need to sit down and do your sums and see if u really are going to get ur monies worth.

I think the biggest question u need to ask yourself is...

"Am i going to stick with a cheaper, economical car, or am I just going to get another performance vehicle 6 mths later??"

I did this twice over and if i knew it i would of just kept my original R33 instead of waisting thousands of $$$$$ selling, buying, moding, etc...

My rant / 2c

Sounds like a sweet ride. I have about $9 in my bank account. Do you take cheques? :lol:

[sky80]

i know im gonna get another performance nissan...i dont qustion it...not even for a second...after all...it's happened with my last 6 car...could have a house by now (so the parents keep telling me ) mostly likely get an r34 after this...might call it quits for a while after i get that...but then again...that's what i said last 6 times too something abt turbo nissans...it's better than drugs

[BasketCase]

something abt turbo nissans...it's better than drugs

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Damn straight.

I went from a N/A subarooo awd to the ceffie, my first RWD car not to mention ridiculously overpowered for a novice povo like myself but I never looked back not even after the several near crash experiences in the first week of ownership (it was raining all week, drift cars and rain = fun, unless your completely new to the RWD oversteer thing then its F***ing scary )

Since the ceffie I have driven loads of hi powered cars, and the consensus is, high boosted nissans f***ing rock

and we are all on these forums coz we have the same problem with car related addictions

After thinking a bit more, going over the mods, how orginal yours is. Id put it up for $25k dude. Let people knock you down.

[Johnny Cash]

Bugger that!

If I were you, I would sell the parts on their own, here or on eBay, then just sell

the car for what it is. You don't really get the money for the parts if you sell them

with the car, but on their own you should do really well.

That's my bit, anyway...

Good luck with the sale either way.

i had the idea of pulling the engine out and selling as a complete rwd conversion package, with all turbos, injectors pfc, gbox etc and put in that s15 motor i got sitting in the garage...but that means more time off the road..and engineering...

f**k...i'd be happy if i get 18 for the car minus some stuff from the list...

dave...i thought about that idea..but then i dont wanna deal with smart ass little kids on the forums talking shit, you know how these c**ts are in the forsale sections...
