There's still some good buys for older cars, just not Australian or European ones

There was a nice 1970s Fiat 124 Coupe that sold for about $16K recently in Melbourne.

Or a UZS171 Crown - for about half the value of the JZS171 variation with the VVTI 1JZGTE:

My neighbour’s niece’s husband just picked up a newish Prado (I think, pretty certain not a Cruiser) ex one of the central Australian indigenous organisations. They considered it at end of service life; five years. Fleet vehicles were sold by sealed tender.

$5K.

I offered to double his money, no dice.

Did you see the smaller white Fiat coupe recently? Was just under $8k. Got snapped up almost the same time it was listed.

Missed out...

I saw Jimnys listed at 40k the other night. I guess technically second hand if someone has bought one for 25k then listed it right away. Told my workmate who just took delivery of hers she could probably make an easy 15k if she sold it, but she loves it and wants to keep it.

Whether they're actually selling at 40k could be another story entirely.

I really like the new Jimny, I don't even have an interest in 4x4ing its just a cool little retro throwback, I see a fair few on my daily commute and in the inner city.

But I don't love it at $40K.

slowsnake · 23-06-2021, 08:21 PM

Geez I wish I kept my 62 EK panelvan now, I cut it up and made a trailer for my brother in Qld in the late 70's, it had one of the Repco crossflow heads, it was cracked between the valves on No 5 chamber, but fixed that with a lot of heat and some Eutectic nickel rods, must of gone through 4 blocks, grey motors take 5,500 rpm, but crank snaps at 6000 rpm, lol.

Always carried a spare diff and gearbox in the back!
It was quick too, and windowless.
That Ford van with the windows is not a van to me, and he won't get his $46 grand, maybe a V8 with a top loader box, but even drug money has to show a profit, but not on that

Cheers King Billy

Have to agree there, even a ride like Kylie Minogue in gold hotpants, would pull less dollars, lol, hahaha.
But $40 grand for that bit of tin, it reminds me of a sardine can, just missing the key!...

All that crazy is trickling down market, any 90s Suzuki Sierra or Daihatsu rocky is now listed for 8-10 grand where I live.

Interior shots give me flash-backs to late 80s - looks well kept: https://www.grays.com/lot/0001-60010...sedan?spr=true

What a damn shame its a 6 and not a nice little 289 tucked under the bonnet or even a 302, I associate the Fairlane Marque with prestige and power, but nice car and very good price, if I was looking I would buy it!

Cheers King Billy.

Franco Cozzo · 23-06-2021, 08:28 PM

I haven't had a truck yet, I reckon thats gotta be the next weekend ****box for Franco

Seem to be worth less on the second hand market too in that LR class and there's some cool **** like Ford F600/F700.

Check out this thing

https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/det...-7280187/?Cr=0

Perfect candidate for LS1

Crash gearbox Franco, you wouldn't like it

Anyone got a spare T5? Give ya half a pack of winnie blues and 6x VB cans for it, with my driving might need a couple because it'll break before I get to the end of my driveway

https://www.facebook.com/commerce/li...8094355818093/

Imagine Franco cruising Chapel Street in this absolute weapon

The tray itself is 5.5M long, the Lebonator would fit on the back of that for when it blows the trans cooler lines again, might just leave it on the back and drive the F600 around

Greentop + turbo, 0 to 6 feet under in less than 10 seconds for sure

Why buy an F100 when you can have an F600, its 500 better

A 'ute' could be handy

You could have the Lebonator on the tray, be in the Lebonator, and have another person driving the F600 as your personal driver while you look down on Chapel St and turn heads

Go to the Auctions Buy a Hybrid Camry Wreck, Do a Driveline Transplant...

GasO - you feel like coming out of retirement?

Maccas is on me, I know you're a man of culinary sophistication that only the golden arches can deliver, can sweeten the deal with some Winnie reds as an appetiser, or maybe you're a camel no filter man

Anyway back to used car prices:

UZS171 Crown - worth cents in the dollarydoos:

https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/det...-6845906/?Cr=0

JZS171 Crown - drug spondoolies:

https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/det...19272547/?Cr=1

You can tell where the demand is for the JDM, anything 1/2JZ with turbo(s) is getting near on twice the money compared to 8 cylinders even though the 1UZFE is a good engine.

1UZFE Crown (Majesta C type) is a good buy for someone who wants a luxo bargette but doesn't mind smaller wheelbase than the locals.

Out of retirement for what? knowing you it probably won't be legal.

BossRoss315 · 05-07-2021, 01:24 PM

Cars are for our enjoyment, cruising, racing (on the track ;-), tinkering, detailing (as sick as that may sound, I enjoy cleaning my car, not too often though), brings sections of society together regardless of socioeconomic boundaries, bonding with the next generation......an investment it definitely is not. Don't get me wrong, those that seized on the opportunity to buy a collectible at a good price....good on ya. Just don't forget to drive it, spank it occasionally, otherwise what's the point? Hold it, wash it, store it, strole it, pay rego and not get to spank it? I'll pass

Jack91 · 24-07-2021, 11:27 PM

Just thought I'd add to this thread.
Sold my petrol auto 80 series LandCruiser for 17500, no roadworthy or reg (paid 3k 18 months ago), and my 1980 6cyl f350 for 24k no roadworthy or reg (paid 7k 12 months ago).
Both super easy sales, a week on gumtree. Both sold last week.

Goes to show, people are paying the stupid prices right now so if you're on the fence about getting rid of something, in my opinion they won't stay this high much longer so cash in!

I saw that F350 for sale, was it orange by any chance? Had it listed for around $20K, then it went up to $30K, good to see you got $24K for it

https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/det...-6972025/?Cr=0

Should chuck the Lebonator up on carsales for $750,000 - has a HSV sticker on it

That's the one, and would you believe I had more interest when it was at 30k. My reasoning was I had people bartering me down to 16k endlessly. Put another 10k on it and ended up with way more hahahaha.

Haha thats the oldest trick in the book - you don't advertise a car at around what you want, you advertise it at inflated pricing then 'negotiate' downwards

I notice that F350 seems to be much better value for money compared to F100/F150, F350 seem to change hands for less spondoolies than their light duty equivalents.

There's a GMT400 GMC Sierra 3500 for sale in NSW at the moment at a reasonable price that has caught my eye, ex ambulance, been converted to tray back.

Citroënbender · 01-08-2021, 08:33 AM

Comparatively poor performance by older Rolls/Bentley models over the last three years. Still on my “wouldn’t mind one” list, either an hydraulic front end ‘67 or a later Silver Spirit.

I feel more regret at not buying a Ferrari 400i and upgrading it with a GV overdrive plus modern EFI, now they are probably sacred cows and the prices are well out of reach.

FG50T · 25-07-2021, 09:10 AM

My past month:

- I sold a well modified CV8 on the *WOVR* for $71k - I was asking 42k last year and couldn't sell it.

- I bought a HQ 4dr Monaro I thought I payed way too much for at $95K. I just sold it for $125k. I had it for 2 weeks and people messaging me offers everytime I'd share a photo on social media.

Swordie · 25-07-2021, 09:19 AM

Sold 9th Jun 21 for $130K - 1992 Landcruiser GXL HDJ80 Turbo Diesel Manual with 446,793kms.

https://www.grays.com/lot/0001-34901...wagon?spr=true

I can't understand why so much. This is the most surprising price I have seen.

If you keep an eye out you will probably see it relisted somewhere. I've noticed a couple even on Shannons auctions being relisted after being sold.

Holden and HSV prices have been going insane. Mate bought a 2005 VZ CV8 Monaro for 18k 4 years ago, just sold it for 75k. My old 2008 VE LS3 Clubsport I sold for 32k 3 years ago just sold for 53k.

Bought my FG2 XR6T ute for 19500 middle of '19. Sold it for 27k in Nov '20. Bloke who bought it traded it in for 28k last month. Car yard had it up for 36k, sold within days. Must have got asking price. Almost went double what I paid 2 years ago with 20,000km extra on top. Ridiculous.

The Demise of Holden, has (In My Opinion) been a big Driver in the Market rise. Combined with Covid induced Price Spike . has been a perfect Storm ,& I reckon those Prices are here to stay.

The prices have shot up in the UK also. It is a combination of new vehicle shortages and bucket loads of cheap money that have made the prices go up. Basically it is inflation caused by money printing.
