Dazsw Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 As the topic says, people just don't want these cars, I'm getting that sick trying to sell it I'm thinking of stripping it and putting it back to standard then trying to sell it that way, but that's a worse case scenario.

Justindorville Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I think its a case that there is not enough known about them by the average car nut. We all know they are unreliable most of the time and have a penchant for V-power but it seems very few people know about its many benefits. To name a few, it's looks are gorgeous, goes like stink, can at a push take 4 adults whilst it is going like stink, can be insured by someone as young as 21 for reasonable money, you can take the roof off (sorta) and the ladies love them too! It just seems that most people looking for a big jap car want a Rex or a Poopra. :smash: Not good for selling but atleast it does mean the zed enjoys a bit of exclusivity:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisC Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I think your average person has far too much sense to buy a 15 year old 3.0L petrol guzzling machine these days :rofl: Better advertising it on here and other performance car sites.

Darkside TT Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 at least your part of an exclussive club, and it's nice not seeing one in every other driveway! and yes they are an old car, but when new they were ahead of there time, IMO Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 300zx_girl Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 coz they are too expensive to maintain! :cry: :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funkysi Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 They do demand more maintenance and due to that fact, there are a lot of dogs about which have pushed the value into free fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've sold 6 300's this year and never had a problem,i find anything with a kit harder to sell though as unless you get someone that likes your car exactly as it is then they would prefer to buy a standard looking one and modify it to their taste,any time i get a 300 in for resale with a high level spoiler etc is ditch the spoiler as i know alot of people really dont like them. for what is worth i think your car is worth 5k all day long,it's just finding someone who wants one with that kit on it.

Jack Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Wrong time of year - keep it till spring and photograph it with the roof off. You'll sell it - no problem. Advertise it in Auto Trader too as it'll appear cheap when compared with trader prices. Good luck Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Zed Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I think the problem is there are too many horror stories out there. On Ebay at the moment there are about 5 Zeds, all with various problems, which would cost a fair bit to have repaired by a garage, providing you can find one local to take it on. If your new to Zeds and you were looking on Ebay as a guide, you would be put off straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirbz Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 It is luck of the draw i'm affraid, the ad needs to be right, the price needs to be right and it needs to be advertised in the right place, i got quite a bit of interest from pistonheads with mine. As people have said its a really bad time of the year and in all honesty i didnt expect mine to sell hence why i originally stuck it up for £8k and was going to just keep it up for sale until spring next year when its a better time but things changed and i needed to free up some capital for another can hence why i reduced it. Price wise i dont think yours is overly expensive but you habe 2 choices, do you NEED to sell it? if so then add open to reaonable offers on the price which may encourage someone who may not ba able to afford it at its price at the moment but may be tempted to coem and have a look and try to get it cheaper and as we all know its just a case of getting someone in front of the car or If you dont need the money then stick to your guns and leave the price and a buyer WILL come along but it may take time Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
