Hi Guys,

It's time to sell my GTVi. I think i will put it on the highway for sale soon. I would appreciate some thoughts on a realistic price for it (emphasis on realistic...dont anybody think i will sell it to them dirt cheap :snooty: )

Here are the details:

2003 Pewter KJ II GTVi, 33,000kms, absolutley spotless (i know everyone thinks this about their car but there isnt one carpark ding on it and only a very minor stone chip or two), standard GTVi kit (higher output motor, sports exhaust 17" rims, Nardi Torino leather and timber steering wheel and timber gearleaver etc.) with a KN Panel being it's only mod (if thats what you can call it). Interior (upholstery is perforated black leather) is spotless to the point that when i bought the car i bought a tarpaulin and cut it to shape to line the inside of the boot and have always had two sets of mats over the carpets. A set of rubber mats on top of carpet mats.

The car has not long had its 30,000km service and i have done several oil changes (have always used Penrite and genuine Mitsu oil filters) in between its logbook servicing. And for the record i have only exclusivley ever used 98 and 95 RON fuel(for those of you this is important to). Factory warranty for the car runs out at the end of November.

I would have put this in the for sale section, but that's just me.

Well it's not for sale....yet.

I am after the opinion of the guys that know something about this model for some suggestions re: the pricing etc. hence i put the thread in the 3rd Gen Forum.

phaw i have had an eye out for one of these for a while!! :shock:

Have you got some pictures?
Any more specs?
eg sunroof, GPS, etcetc

Im interested depending on the price!
Cheers

Best way to get a realistic price is to first check out redbook (http://www.redbookasiapacific.com/au/vehicle/prices.php?key=MITS03HB), then cry for a while, and then check out carsales.com.au and see what other models like yours are selling for and where they are located.

looking here (http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/%21cs_content.dealer_results?make_id=3&model_id=6&keyword=GTVI&state_id=-1&search_distance=25), you would probably be best to put about 26 on it (due to low k's) but expect 23-24...

His is a KJ Series 2... most of those are TL or TW... And dealer cars so slightly more expensive due to warrenty etc.

This is a better indication:

http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/!cs_content.private_results?price_min=&price_max=&search_type=21&make_id=3&selected_make_index=&model_id=6&badge_id=39013&badge_id=27565&keyword=&state_id=-1&search_postcode=&search_distance=25&rego_vehicle_id=&cs_body_id=&drive_id=&km_min=&km_max=&year_min=&year_max=&door_num=&cs_trans_id=&cylinder_num=&engine_low=&engine_high=

Also looked at carpoint...
I would say ask 23k max and expect around 20k-22k max.
I dont think you will get any interest at 26 seeing as you can get a 2005 model for that price or even less. All the best though, sounds like a sweet car.

unfortunately, they are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them.. sadly - it isnt much..

30,000kms: it sounds as if its only just been run in.. nice car, well looked after - id be asking $23k, willing to accept anything over $21k..

if it has things like sat nav and sunroof.. id be asking $23,500-$24,000

i saw a loaded 05 model with 48k roof and all at a mitsu dealer for 23900 :( pretty sad.... although if i had the extra $$$ it would have been mine.., although NSW's prices always seem higher than vics on used cars so good luck...

hey you got any pics? slightly interested :)

Yeh i'd say a smidge over 20k.

looks very very schmick! very well looked after car..

but becuse it doesnt have the sunroof or the GPS sat nav, i reckon you'd be pushing very hard to get $21k for her..

so long as you didnt faint/die because of the result, a trade-in appraisal by a car yard would probably be the best way to find its 'real' worth.. (we all know you could fetch another 2 or so grand on top of what they'd offer you..) would virtually give you a lowest/bottom price to expect..

best of luck with selling it though.. its an exceptional example:thumbsup:
