What should i ask for my beloved Gemini

[jlef5]

It has come to the time where i must sell one of my babys, and the little Gemini Coupe has pulled the short straw. Its a 76 coupe with worked 1.6ltr, 32/36 webber motor was rebuilt and had 2200 put into it, has new clutch, machined fly wheel and the paint is in fairly good condition painted it 2 years ago and has very little rust, well basically it has one crack on the boot lid and that's it. I just want to know from some fella car people what people think i should ask for it, I want 2000 for it, but is this abit much.

while i dont know what they are worth I had a little Gemi weapon as a young fella.. if only the body didn't rust around the motor

I'd say that's a bit much.

My guitar teacher picked up a 2 door wagon for hardly anything if I remember.

How would a GMH site, be better qualified?

The bloke's asking a fair question. Some people really need to get over "This is a Ford forum, and thus anything to do with Holden isn't welcome here " attitude.

Anyway it's a nice Gemi. We had a gold TE sedan years ago.

I reckon it's worth about $1800 aswell. Like someone already said.

Actually I had no idea what he wrote in the first place. Thanks Ryan for clearing that up. Still can't get my head around phone text message grammar!

Nice little goer. $2,000 is nothing these days. It's probably worth between $1,500 - $2,000 on a good day. A good Datsun 1600 or clean Escort would easily fetch that if they were in good nick as well.

looks pretty clean, id say just under 2k like everyone else. a friend of mines sister has had 2 gems in the last coupla years, first one was nicked at a party she went to so she bought another one and got the first one back lol, but she is selling them both for around $1500. the second one had a rebuild 2.2 motor aswell as a nice paint job and rims, looked pretty cool but it doesnt run anymore. awesome little cars, great first cars, you wont find a shortage of buyings

[jlef5]

Yes i love this little gemini,funny thing is its actually quicker then my ford which is abit sad. 1.6 4cyc v 5ltr V8. Thanks for everyones input yes i was going to put 2000 on it and take about 1500ish. Cheers to everyone again.

One could argue he's advertising his car for sale here instead of following the site T&C and putting it in the for sale section..

[jlef5]

Im not trying to sell my car here, and i don't want to. You can aguee what you want bloke but its simple, i wanted to know what price i should ask for my car.

A GM site would be better qualified due to having more Gemini owners with a better idea of the value.


Some people need to get over the Holden attitude and others need to get over biting at every comment made about them.

Hmmm from the looks of things he's just asking for a price, and not saying "Hey does anyone want to buy my Gemini for <amount>?".

Well anyway good luck with the sale, whatever figure you decide on.

[jlef5]

Thank you Ryan, its nice to see people out there still have common sense.

[smee323]

try hotgemini.com
Currently a coupe in near original is going for 2100 and it has a spare car and parts included.
1500 would be max price.
Nice to see a bit of conversion with the TE panels on a TC looking coupe.

Having owned a TX, TC, TE and TG I really like them.

[fordel]

Nice Gem, always loved those coupes.

Good luck with the sale.

[bob 351]

gee and i thought that gemini's where holden made german opal cars but any way that is one nice little car and i bet it stick's to the road like shyte to a blanket and $2000 is not to much in my opion

[jlef5]

Yes it does, used to be able to put that into any corner about 20kms faster then me mate's s dore i mean commadore

[gngtho]

the coups and good ones are hard to come by.

this one is great nick and sounds like you still have an attachment to it, but you'll be suprised people have paid up to $4000 for them.

id say advertise it for $3500 and then let them drop the price or your mite be lucky and someone could by it at that price.

[kcej]

I recently bought a 2002 AU3 for $700 with very little damage, and I don't like Geminis, but if I owned one as sweet as that looks theres no way I'd accept under $2000, very nice car mate

[Nikked]

my mate got one for 500 this week...fairly tidy it was

[Kryton]

thats not the original front end is it?
that could either cost you $$$ or gain you $$$ depending on the person looking at buying it.
