gumpy000 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I'm not sure if this is allowed but hopefully as only a discussion at mo. But firstly if I sold my 2004/54 gt 65k full Nissan Service History in great condition. What should I be asking for it? Car is in thread. But also if I did. What would I buy? The only reason I would sell it would be to get some money back into the bank account. But I would wanna buy a cheaper project. I still want to get something fun and quick but what is there? Has anyone thought of same thing? Most people change to upgrade but I'm thinking of opposite. I know this is wrong but If you had to what would u do??

BobbyZ Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 No, definitely not allowed What sort of thing are you thinking? I suppose you could supercharge an MX5, but ultimately once you're done with all the upgrades I don't suppose you'd have stacks of cash left over. Zeds are something of a performance bargain, so I'm not sure this strategy has a great deal of value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 not a good reason to sell imo STi or Evo 4/5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LloydZee Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 People may hate me for this, but I'm looking into an Integra DC5 for my next fun car when the 370 is gone (boring but for a house buy). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock_Steady Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) People may hate me for this, but I'm looking into an Integra DC5 for my next fun car when the 370 is gone (boring but for a house buy). Everyone knows the DC5 is a sensational car that responds well to modifcation in terms of an N/A. But it depends how open you are to suggestion in replacing your Zed gumpy. Would you have an early 90's weapon or would you prefer something more modern? Would you stay Jap or do you fancy going Euro or American?

Dynamic Turtle Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Would to be in a position to justify a DC5, not gonna happen though. Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 You could invest in a mid 90s jap car and have a bit of change, however be prepared to sacrifice on interior luxuries, they tend to be a bit sparse inside. In my opinion, only swap if you want to experience different cars and driving styles, I never regretted selling my zed and trying out the cars I have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brillomaster Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 really depends what kinda car you're thinking of... If I wanted to save costs, i'd chop in my 335i, and buy an older 330ci, they're about 2 grand these days. which is a lot of car for not a lot of money. I've also always wanted to try an s2000, but their values seem to be going up, not down annoyingly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumpy000 Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 I wouldn't mind a 90s jap. Or any make. Love to keep with Nissan but the early stuff either more expensive or crap lol. Just an idea as I say but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But firstly if I sold my 2004/54 gt 65k full Nissan Service History in great condition. What should I be asking for it? Car is in thread. In the ball park of £6K-£7.5K tops imo for a private sale. Probably more like £6995 after haggling with a potential buyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 About £6500 plus, Car is fun to drive, but so can a less powerful jap car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyZ Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I just can't think of a way that you can sell the zed and get something any good while still making a profit. Anything cheaper (including upgrade and maintenance costs) will be complete poo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller350z Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I wouldn't sell......but my 350 is pretty much the same as yours 04 with 66k, it's had wheels refurbished and just had a load of paint. I wouldn't sell for less then 7k but between 6 and 7k us where I think it would be. I'd keep it in the family and get a manual 300zx tt I've always liked them Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z32bolt Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Miller, have you seen the price of them lately though? You would free up much cash, if any. Plus maintence costs for them are very high, superb cars but very finicky, trust me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 You won't get a decent rust free manual TT for under £5k-£6k. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonCool Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Well, have been in a well-maintained standard MR2 roadster driven hard and you know what, it was a lot cheekier than I expected. They're as cheap as chips but, as always, do your research.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Get yourself in a good condition ST205 Celica mate! We already have Americans signing up to forums and Facebook pages in anticipation of getting one once they are legal there...price will go whoooosh 😉 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chips Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I've asked myself the same question. Always ends up that I should hold out until I can get an 80's 911(dream world) or an HSV/SS Commodore or give it up completely or go the Clio. As far as I could figure in my view, the less price and up there for fun and quick options are a motorbike or sports Clio. Without the compromise of going older and losing out on tech and comfort. The Supra looks, goes, and is rare and cool as a Z, similarly for Celica. WRX took the place of the GTR for a few years redefining what's possible, as well as having the continuation of evolution. Take a 1 way ticket to Australia or America and then take your pick of v8's. Not a lot of options out there for comparable history and bang for buck the Z can't be beat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
