    Default 1984 VK CALAIS 3.3L How much do I sell it for?

    Am thinking of selling our daughters calais.
    purchased for daugher to learn in.
    we are second owners. runs fantastic
    Is in original excellant condition.
    automatic, electronic dash, all electric options. air cond is freezing.
    tinted windows, mags, cd player and sub.
    6 months rego.
    Still have orignal rims as well.
    has a few small niggly things need fixing: aerial wont go down automatically. back rear electric window sometimes tempremental. small crack in windscreen on bottom right side, doesnt obstruct vision.
    we have no idea how much to ask for this car, so if any of you can give us some ideas it would be much appreciated.

    If that's all that is wrong with it, then that's nothing! Windscreen would need to be replaced if the crack can't be repaired, and the aerial and window aren't a big deal.

    How many km's on it, how much rego is left, does it come with a RWC, how much tread on they tyres, what condition is the interior in etc??

    it has done 350,000kms, interior is absolutely immaculate, no rips, tears, stains, nothing.
    tyres are 95%. Rego till april. RWC yes.

    I'd say closer to 2k if that to be honest. To get more than that it'd have to be in fairly immaculate condition.

    whats peoples perception of immaculate condition? it has had no accidents, completely straight body, good engine and the interior cant be faulted.
    I just dont want to put a price on it thats over the top, or dont want to rip myself off.

    In all honesty if it is straight, immaculate both outside and inside, you wont have an issue at LEAST finding 3k for it.

    yeah its really hard to make a decision on price via photos on the net. you will find that 60% of ebay cars that sell for a decent price often are relisted cos the person didnt inspect and found stuff that the owner didnt know about.

    someone looking for an immac commodore, willing to pay 4k will proberley KNOW the danger spots to look for, i.e. rear window, parcel shelf, bottom inside of the doors, boot floor etc etc etc and may find stuff that you didnt even know was there.

    i would say price for an average calais 3k if this is immac and comes with RWC you could even fetch 6-7k if you can find the right buyer.
