Well I've taken my 1994 TT out of storage where it's been for the last 10 years. Just been down for MOT and its passed after driving around a bit and using the brakes. Just getting a few bits done to get rid of stone chips on the front bumper next.

As it's 12 years since I've had any dealings with these cars i'm totally unclear what the situation is regarding value. I've tried to have a look but there seems to be massive differences in prices. What's the best way of establishing its value now? Not sure if I should sell it now or run it around for a bit and put it back in storage.

Ten years in storage and you took it for a drive and moted it that must be a great Z mate. Dont sell it kept it and enjoy it.

Welcome back ronflat! When you put the car in storage, the cars would’ve been pretty much at rock bottom on the depreciation curve so I would say you’re definitely up on the value from that time. Decent cars can fetch good money (relative to past figures), but I’d say hold onto the car and enjoy it as the values are only going one way now and starting to gather momentum.

Welcome back.

 

Unfortunately the picture link isn’t working though.

I'm obviously not up to speed at to showing pictures and how to put in links, not sure if this works?

Looks very nice ronflat whats the story with the different wheels?

I have both sets of wheels, rears shown are 17" and front are 18". i took the picture to see which looked best on the car and decided front 18" were best!

Welcome back! If you send me the VIN I will look up the factory build date.

Yes I like the 18" also :thumbup1:

Get your cam belt changed as an absolutely priority irrespective of mileage.

Welcome back bud. Tidy Zed that!!

Yes I changed the cam belt the week it was put into storage including a full service.

 

So how are values determined these days? What are the things that are looking for to make some worth a lot more than others? Its excellent condition and only 55,000 miles, but are people looking for particular features?

 

I used to import them 15-20 years ago and at that time everyone wanted leather and Manual, but as I imported this for myself its Auto and Original Recaro Cloth so may be not what people want, but times may have changed? But as I have had no involvement with Japanese cars for 14 years no i'm totally unaware of what the market likes these days.

Very hard to value somebody Z without all the info and detailed pictures but judge it on other Z's for sale and if yours is as good as I think it is then dont be afraid to go for a price that reflects its condition.

The week it was put into storage, so 10 years ago?

 

Change your cam belt as an absolute matter of urgency....unless you meant 'after'. ;)

Yes I like the 18" also :thumbup1:

 

Me too...:cool:
