I have looked but the search function on the forum from my work is really slow!

 

How much were the Z32's back in 1992 when they were new?

Around £35,000 I believe

 

Probably works out at about £50k in todays money if not more.

More like £100,000 now

Blimey!!

did it change according to the year so saying a series 3 costing more than a series 1 ?

With the correct inflation £35000 works out at

 

£64,400

that adds insult to injury of just how worthless zeds are :confused:

I think over the years the price varied between about £29K to £35K. Options would have a made a difference too.

New car prices have hardly moved since the early nineties.

Majority of car company's have reduced costs to keep new prices low. Also, the government abolished the 10% car tax in the nineties, reducing the cost of new cars. Be surprised if it were more than 40K in today's money.

 

Give you an example:

 

My father-in-law bought a Ford Escort 1.3GL in December 1982 (Y reg). He paid £5200 for the car. It was a mid ranged model. This model had no radio cassette, no electric pack (windy windows), no power steering.

 

25 years later, you can buy a C segment car (Note, Focus, C4 etc) for around £9000, with far more gadgets and toys included in the price.

Anyone know how the zed compared pricewise to other similiar cars of the day?

Porsche 928 was about £70,000 !

The 1990 Autocar road test......

cheers greg, airbrushed to the max ;)

 

and dave, yeah that was a lot of bucks. Especially when you think over half the population was unemployed in late eighties/early nineties

how did it compare to supra

Hi,

The Supra didn't appear in the UK for another couple of years after the 300ZX, as Toyota went back to the drawing board when they saw how good the Z32 was!

In the September 1993 Road Test in Autocar Magazine, the UK specification Supra TT cost £37,500 compared to £38,329 for the Mitsu GTO and £33,200 for the 300ZX....A Porsche 968 was £36,722 back then.

The 300ZX was cheaper than at the UK launch in 1990, because the UK concession had changed ownership, resulting in lower UK list prices.

i had the original receipt for my yellow zed of £32.5k
