17k might cause less people come and test drive .if you put 15k a little more people will come and make an offer.therefore it might sell quickly?

It may also possibly keep some of the tyre kickers away who just want to go for a burn in your fully sik soarer.

I wouldn't buy a car that I couldn't drive for myself. That's just plain silly IMHO.

You'd be lucky to get $6,000 for it in NZ at the moment, but its a very different market place. Might be hard to sell as the V8 is very much a cruse car, luxury and comfort - but it modded so it looks more like what someone who is looking for a TT might want.

Thanks for all the feedback. If I cannot get at least 16k for it I am not going to sell it. Lose way to much money on it (it is not the intension selling anyway). Might just wait for the suspension on my license to be lifted and then supercharge it. Hrmmm.. And all this talk of under 10k prices, forget it.. I'd rather do an insurance job! haha.. (not!)

Would you be happy to supercharge it for me Neil? =)

This is a VERY odd thread when read from the very start to the very end.

How did your bonnet mod's go Yang? I'd like to see some pictures?

This thread typifies the risks of getting severely "gouged" when buying or selling a modified car.


1)Mod'd car's are worth almost nothing to a man who wants to mod a car (cause he has his own dreams for what to modify & the passion to start from scratch)
2)Worth a great deal to someone who wants the model of car you are selling but can't actually afford a mod'd car.......so bad luck no sale.
3)The buyer who appreciates the car with its mod's knows the model well & what it is worth so they're basically going to negotiate you down cause they’re already looking at buying another car with zero mod's or less that's thousands under what your asking.

Unless the WHOLE car is "Show quality" the market of buyer's with the urgent desire to buy with a pocket deep enough & shallow enough experience is finite.

If you’re a Mod’d car buyer you run the risk of buying from an expert in that model of car that has absolute knowledge on how to mod all facets of the car including the illegal mod's. If your a seller your trying recoup money you've outlaid on a depreciating asset, i.e you are trying to minimise your loss

.....these cars aren't collectors items. None go up in value.

Yang, please explain "change km's"

If you are trying to hint rolling back km's, it is ILLEGAL.

Eldin, the car looks to be in very very good condition from the photos and from your description. 17k is a fair asking price for the car, but at a guess, I think 15k would see it sold within 3 months.

Advertise it in QLD papers too, I think it'd move pretty quick up there.

mate you will always lose money when you put money into it, great car but you have to take in consideration that the soarer's are old cars now and people don't appreciate them as much as we do. hope you get 20k for it but now days i doubt it. if i was you i wouldn't sell it. too precious to give away for 15k.

seriously you will not get 20k 17k or 15k even if you wind the clock back, cars of this price people will get checked over and the results will show(regardless of km)it only worth 10k as a vehicle alone, thats what their worth. I have a abflug kit, respray plus plenty of money put into mods but from trade ins to private sales, i havent been offered even 17k and mines a 95' model.

I think what Yang was proposing was to list a wrong reading in the carsales advert (hence his comment about 'closing explorer'). I don't think he is advising that the KMs are to be rolled back, simply that he lies on the advertisement.

Either option is deplorable and Yang's been marked on my "do not buy from" list.
