Another high money 300zx for sale on eBay I think we need to consider the valuation of our own Z's :ohmy:

Simon, I think you have that spot on,

Yup - and some wise words from Noel also....:thumbup:

The very same! I remember when a rattle can painted rotter came up for sale for a similar price and I just couldn't comprehend the price tag. I will happily hand over good money for a top quality Z32, but what I consider top quality Z32s are few and far between.

 

Here's how I see basic pricing structure on Z32s, these could be modified, but not 'Max Power' type monstrosities - this is irrespective of bodystyle as good examples of SWB and LWB models don't seem to vary all that much, similarly with UK vs JDM models, however an immaculate UK car is sought after, but very very rarely come up for sale as there are hardly any about.

 

Tatty NA : £500 - £750

Average NA : £750 - £1200

Clean NA : £1200 - £2000

Immaculate NA : £2000 upward to about £3,000

 

Tatty TT auto: £1000 - 1200

Tatty TT manual : £1200 - £1500

Average TT auto: £1200 - £1750

Average TT manual : £1500 - £2000

Clean TT auto : £1750 - £3,000

Clean TT Manual : £2,000 - £3,500

Immaculate TT Auto : £3,000 - £4,000 (almost non-existent)**

Immaculate TT Manual : £3,500 - £5,000 + (almost non existent)**

 

Convertibles generally sit around the £3,500 - £4,000 mark

 

** denotes individual merits of examples from specification to quality of paintwork, body and specialist vehicles like Pentroof and M30Z type examples which are worth considerably more. Perfect examples have no reason for not going over the £5k mark (Terry's car when complete for example should be work around the £6k mark), but generally those are not these OTT examples styled on airfix kits, irrespective of how much work and effort went into it. Typically the market and general public alike, prefer the car in its original format as a visual piece. Good mechanical enhancements generally make the Z far more sellable over bodykits, silly spoilers and crazy paint.

 

 

Judging on these prices 5 years ago I would say the z32 300zx is going up by at least 1k a year. Nice to look back on old threads :)

And todays prices are..
