Now For Sale: Yellow RA23 Fri, 10 October 2003 22:50 Go to next message
I'm considering putting my beloved RA23 on the market. I'm just wondering what people are willing to pay for it.

it's a yellow 1977 RA23 w/
16" *7" performance FX5 rims
5000km old lowered king springs and shocks
Black widow BW10000 alarm with central locking/keyless entry

It's pretty straight (ie. 25 years worth of trolley dings but that's all)

It's also rust free which is getting pretty rare these days.

I'm the second owner, and the first owner was an 80yo lady who used it to get to work and back for 15 years and the rest of the time was spent going to the local shops and back.

This car has NEVER left canberra.

Thanks in advance

Trent

I might be interested closer to xmas... all depends on funds. Would you be looking for something between 1000 - 2000 or more than that.. not really sure how much these cars are worth.. Razz Would you consider selling it without the rims?

nah dude, I'd be after more than that. I am willing to sell it with the standard rims.

I just remembered that It's got a 5000km old clutch in there Smile

I'll put a list prices of what I've done....

Car: 2800
Muffler + Tip: 200
Rims: 800
Clutch: 400
Lowered Springs & Shocks: 800
Alarm System: 550

So if my calculations are correct, I've spent about 5500 bucks...

Trent

PS: I'm not expecting to get 5500, just an indication of what I've spent.

finney,

It really depends what kinda trade you'd be thinking of.

supra R,

I'm still not sure what to put on it. I'll just say 5500 negotiable Wink

The reason I created this thread was to see what kinda money I should expect for my car. I am yet to receive a response to my question.. I know good examples are getting hard to come by these days....

I'm looking for an RA23, and although I'm in Sydney, I come to Canberra pretty much every second week. When you are serious about selling, post here. I understand you've spent $5500 and that you "arent expecting to get it", but you also have to remember you got a... umm.... orginal 30 year old car (almost) Smile.

Here's a rough guide to what you'll probably get offered-

Your RA23, although very stock looks very clean & straight.
Although youve spent $5500, you'll get shit all for your troubles, sorry... just stating facts.
Only things you can really bump the price for is the new suspension, & decent alarm. Provided all is good mechanically, I reckon you could fetch about $3000-$3500.

I've been looking for a while, and although your car doesnt look too bad, there are cars out there with extra stuff done to them (like rack and pinion steering, engine and drivetrain mods etc.) that are selling for about 4-5k.

But as I said previously, when you get serious about selling, give a serious price to negociate on and you'll get a better idea on it's worth.

hey trent man,
If I didn't have a project car, and was lookin at a car to buy, I would think about the 3500 - 4 K mark... if that helps at all

I get about 400km per 45 ltrs around town. that's a little over 10 ltrs / 100kms.

I'd say the tank is 55ish ltrs.

If you really want a car, you get a loan. That's what I did Smile

A bit of a random question here, but how much does your RA23 weigh? Also, is the 18RC a heavier engine than the 2T.

hey guys,

I'm having a bit of internet access issues at the moment...

RA23s weigh 1040kgs, and 18rcs weigh more than 2ts for obvious reasons.

If you're not wanting to make that little trip from sydney to Canberra, trust me it's worth the trip, and you will buy this car. It's in awesome condition for an original.
