Thanks Not much interest though. I guess there's just too many Sups on the market now. Oh well, looks like I'm keeping her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathanc Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Cheers for all the kinds words Initially I was thinking of just garaging her over winter or something like that but then so many tempting TTs now on sale for a nice price... Rofl someone tell me how to resist the temptation of the TTs!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanc Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 Hmmm, is my asking price too high? i reckon thats just right considering the age, condition and the history the car has... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Winter mate, cars go for less money at this time of year. Your valuation is about right IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Hmmm, is my asking price too high? i reckon thats just right considering the age, condition and the history the car has... There's no exact science to pricing TBH. If you want to achieve 5k then it may take a while as we now have TT's on this forum going for not much more than your asking price. There's a buyer for every car but it's just finding him or her out there - that's the problem. As an example but I had an ideal price for my TT Auto, but in the end, I received 3.5K less than what I wanted and I was gutted (and mine was one of the top few cars on the forum in terms of condition and low mileage). It all depends on how long you want to wait for it to sell and if you're lucky enough to have a guy come along that really wants your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanc Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 Thanks for the input guys. I am clueless when asked to estimate prices of cars like this, especially to fellow club members. I guess you are right about winter time. I was driving in heavy rain yesterday and I nearly lost control of the back wheels and I wasn't even going fast and very careful with the right foot. I imagine things must be worse for a TT? Still, the petrolhead in me insists that I get a TT lol. edit: yes I noticed the TTs are going cheap but I was also considering the manufactured year of my car and mileage as well in the price. Don't know, I would have just kept the car but lately so many TT adverts tempting me lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Thanks for the input guys. I am clueless when asked to estimate prices of cars like this, especially to fellow club members. I guess you are right about winter time. The problem with selling cars (and the items come to think of it) on this forum is that people want everything at 'mates rates'. This forum is great but we certainly don't help ourselves when it comes to maintaining good market prices for our cars:rolleyes:. I was driving in heavy rain yesterday and I nearly lost control of the back wheels and I wasn't even going fast and very careful with the right foot. I imagine things must be worse for a TT? Not really, the best thing about a TT is it does take a few revs before the engine winds up so it all depends on how you drive the thing i.e. respect the road & the car and you should be fine as a rule of thumb! Still, the petrolhead in me insists that I get a TT lol. Still a good idea IMO but there's still nothing wrong with an NA:) edit: yes I noticed the TTs are going cheap but I was also considering the manufactured year of my car and mileage as well in the price. Don't know, I would have just kept the car but lately so many TT adverts tempting me lol. I reckon many people have a 'capped-off' price perception for the various specification Supes these days and just because it's a younger car does not necessarily change people’s price perception of what they should pay. A 1998 car is almost 11-12 years old so it still ain't young, and yep, all of our cars are getting old; sadly!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanc Posted November 22, 2009 Author Share Posted November 22, 2009 Agreed with all your points SupraAyf, but I think the Sup doesn't even look her age! She looks so sexy compared to Nissan Skylines of the same era! (hides from the Skyline fans) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathew Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 what about having a TT transplant? like you said the car is in good condition and the year of the car is on your side. regarding the pricing, its already been said. depends on a lot of factors, how much you expect, how much people are willing to pay, how many others are on the market. i picked mine up in june 2006. mine is almost identical to yours and i paid a few hundred quid more than what you are asking for now . i was lucky as the guy was desperate to sell it. if you are not in a rush then wait until you get the price you want for it.

Thanks for the advice mate. Well transplant is kinna a no go for me since the nearest garage that will do that is over 300 miles from me Besides, with the sale + a little bit of cash I could net me a TT but a transplant could cost 2k+ I'm in no hurry Its just I saw some affordable TTs going up so I'm tempted.

In all honesty mate, I think you are looking at a minimum spend of 2k before you get the chance to sit in a TT Auto. You may find yourself having to sell this for 4.5k and then chipping the rest in to achieve your goal. Either that or spend 2k+ on a transplant.

However, if I somehow manage to shift this one for 5k there's a TT going for around 5990 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanc Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 For a limited time only, I might consider letting this beauty go for £4500. Saw a car I really like so I might buy it if its not sold by the time I sell mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
