That's right i might be selling my Magna to buy a Ford Laser TX3 4WD Turbo :D

but i want some advice on selling my car and what to do to get the best price

im thinking i want about $3K and posting it for $3200 with road worth and rego is that a reasonable price??

it is a 1989 TP Executive done 122 000Km serviced every 5 000km, it has also had the inside roof replaced to the new carpet, air con converted, auto box has been reconditioned and paint is very good for its age also has CD player and speakers in the door.



please no comment about the ford laser keep it to the magna

i would say your pushin 3k, as you can easly pick up tr/ts for that price in good nick

well im sure the price is different for everyone and also where u live makes a big difference. for example heres a comparasin
i live up the top end of queensland and prices up her are alot higher than say brisbane,melbourne ( than bigger citys).
a tp in very good condition would fetch about $2500
where as in the bigger citys u could pick up the same car for 1000-1500

like not long ago i think it was monk or gemini (cant remeber) got an elante for 300 bucks and all it needed was an alternator.

ok as for what i payed. 1990 tp auto executive 98 000klm on it, one old lady owner who allways serviced it. paint was faded a little and 1 small dent from a shopping trolley. it had new tyres. and what it needed was a mechanical service to keep it going. but i did all the mech eg. suspenion,brakes ,tranny,engine,coolinng system and so on.
now i paid $1400 for mine not regoed but with a rwc certificate.

so plz dont be affended but i recon ull get at least 1800 and up to about 2500. but i recon ull be lucky to get over 3 grand even if its in real good nick. its just ppl dont see magnas as good cars , when infact if there looked after well will go forever like a datto, so if they buy one they dont expect to pay much for em. its a shame magnas dont hold there dollar better. cos all round there good vehicles.

otherwise just sit on it till u get close to the price u want.:D

gemini got the elante for $300. I was gonna buy a 5spd elante for $600 but then i saw the k's 450,000kms in fact.

I paid $2500 for my magna and it was a lemon, a majorly overpriced lemon. good TP elites go for about $1500 in melbourne.

thanks guys,

ill let you know what the go is if im selling it or not should know after i get the road worthy..
i think ill advertise it for $3k as that is what i want for it but if after a week or 2 i have had no calls ill lower it down a fair bit or sit on it a bit more :cry:
