with all these cars/4x4's/boats advertised for crazy money are they actually selling?
have you sold one? have you bought one? and any regrets? I was trying to by an 80 or 105 series cruiser but they all sold within hours so i missed out on the pre covid prices here is a list of what i have bought and sold during COVID

It is crazy, not going to lie, I have thought about putting the ZF up just to see if someone would bite.

P.S. I didn't just flip my cars for a profit i did put alot on money into them so effectively i didn't win to much...
i want to know if someone has sold a clapped out BA XR6t for $15k where 12 months ago it was a $3k car, and BA GT's that were $15k are now $30k, are they selling? or AU1 XR6 for $10k? that was a $1k car 12 months ago

Something I have noticed is that carsales prices are inflated, gumtree is a mixed bag and you can find some ****ters or a bargain on FB Marketplace.
Dont bother with fordmusclecar sales, brilliant cars aimed at investors and those with high disposable income.

If you have a Suzuki Jimny, any age, you could probably add $10k to what it was worth 12 months ago.
Having said that, I've had a couple of people offer me good money for my Ranger without it even being for sale. I could probably get $10k more for it too compared to this time last year. I heard of a 2018 RAM 1500 that was sold back to the same dealer recently for more than what they originally sold it for. |

My Everest was worth $31.5k traded in Feb last year. When things got crazy, I thought I'd put it on the market. Got two dealers bidding for it and ended up with $44k. Good time to sell.

I do this sort of thing at least every month, more of a hobby that pays
![]() Purchased 2008 S class Mercedes from auction just before Covid hit $1078, stolen recovered, gave it a vacuum and a wash, took it for rego, sold it the same night I got it licenced for $10,500. 2005 A180 Mercedes for $356, very slight tap to the front just mis aligned the panels more than anything, fitted a new radiator as it had snapped one of the lugs, re aligned the front, re-licence and sold for $4800. Last Friday I purchased a 2013 Jayco Stirling Outback caravan damaged RH front corner (stat write off), I purchased it for all the internal parts so I can build a loaded slide on camper for my Canter, absolutely stole it for $548 ![]() |

i think i did all bushes, ball joints and brakes for about $1200 myself, add $140ph labour to that and retail prices and that's more than a territory is worth these days, covid prices missed these boring family trucksters.

Roadworthys = cheap cars for those who can fix them themselves.
Just not viable for some folk to get it repaired when it isnt their forte to DIY, understandable. Quote:

Not a brag, but a regret. Sold by BF Fairmont in 2019 for $3400. Had I sold it during covid, I might've got $6K for it ...
