...........Is it because the price for a 300ZX has plummeted to almost the price of a decent Vectra that lots of people are breaking their 300's? I cant believe I posted a for sale and even dropped the price to £3500 and didnt even get a look (well one new bloke but nothing at all came of it.....Typical) I mean Ok it might not be everyones style but £3500 for a very low milage completely fault free TT and nothing. I aint moaning about that. Fook it I dont care I'll keep it. But I just cant imagine why they aint selling? I wouldnt break mine but there does seem to be one a week just lately.

 

Just dont make any logical sense does it? Maybe its a gap that we have come to where it is too old to be a credible car (in the eyes of others) and we will have to hang on for another 5 - 10 years until they are rare and classic?

Im having similar thoughts, i really want a manual. Just cant afford to convert mine at the moment, but ive now got a nice lean low milage (62k) auto TT, with a fairly recent recon box in it (15k ago) and i know its not worth anything.

So do i spend the time and effort converting it? Do i break it and put the money towards a nice manual, or do i try and seel it for peanuts to buy a manual one. Just dont know what to do!

If your really happy with the car and it is sorted mechanically and bodily, I would convert it to a manual. Better the devil you know. :)

It's exactly what happened to the Porsche 924/944.. That's why I went into the business of buying them, and breaking them.. It's unfortunate for the marque, but makes alot more financial sense.

 

I don't think the zed is in quite the same place as a 924/944, but it certainly looks more favourable for sellers to break, rather than sell complete in alot of cases.

yeah... just the cost of getting it converted and finding somewhere to do it as well... i'll decide near xmas, keep looking at swb slicktops and dreaming.

 

as with all jap cars they haveir good days and bad days! on a bad day i feel like getting out and leaving it and walking home, on a good day i dont want the journy to end!
