Jay M1988 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) Hey all, I’ve been a member on here for some time now and loved every minute, the guides are top notch and anything needed which wasn't listed someone was always on hand to help. I would like to ask you all what you feel my zed is worth. I purchased it quite some time ago and have spent a large amount of money maintaining it and keeping it to a good standard. Rear arches are solid, paintwork 97% good only negatives is small hairline crack in the bonnet but not through the lacquer and stone chips against the skirts inside the arches. It had a full spray job completed inc rear arches cut out and new metal in its place due to removing rust on the rear arches. The work was carried out by a classic car restoration company whom came highly recommended. This spray job alone cost me over £3,500. It has been on the road 5 times since that date. Mechanically the car has been serviced every year in my ownership, it comes with stacks of paperwork. The clutch is still the oem clutch but it hasn’t started slipping so this has not been changed as yet but I do have the exedy clutch and Tarmac lightened flywheel of which I am supplying in the deal for when the time comes. As you can tell I was one of those owners who bout everything, ready for the if or when. Suspension wise the car has had the banana arms replaced for new inc the bean arms. Oem w brace removed for an ultra racing brace. In my honest opinion the car is ready for an uprev and add the lightened flywheel wile you’re their, it’s actually booked in at Horsham developments but I’m wanting to see if anyone wanted it before I spend anymore. car detail: 53 plate zed GT spec OE53 reg 120k miles (roughly) should not go up too much as car is merely a toy for the summer K+N panel filter w/newer zeds airbox designed opening Plenum spacer - from trader on here Hsd coilovers ultra racing w brace - tarmac invidia gemini exhaust blue rolled tips - w/test pipes carbon rear spoiler Rockford + fosgate sub + speakers amp’d jvc headunit Rota alloys - staggered sizing (bigger to the rear) rear tinted windows nismo style v2 front bumper - rt performance nismo style skirts and rear spats- from rt Vented fibreglass bonnet Facelift rear led lights - Clark motorsports rear lower led lights - tarmac Front arches modified with 370z indicators added Id be throwing in the bonnet pins for peace of mind if someone wanted to fit to bonnet, never got round to it as bonnet closed on oem latch. Overall I hope you can see the time and effort I have put into this car, for the past year it’s been out once, it hasn’t seen the last three winters and when not in use I start it once a week and allow it to get up-to temp on its own. It is currently and has been when not driven sat on the trickle charger. No smoke only steam when started due to condensation inside the exhaust as it’s sat in the garage/ test pipes but once got nothing at all, this will be evident when someone came to buy it after the test drive etc. Genuine sale I’ve tried to be as honest as I can with all this as I want your honest opinions back. I still haven’t decided on the sale but I am thinking about it so thought this was a good place to start. If you’ve made it this far well done.

reeceybeaney Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Looks like a really well sorted and cared for Z. With the time, effort and money put into it, it is hard to value. It's all personal really with our modified zeds, as some like particular mods more than others and some people are more worried about mileage than others... But personally I would start at around £6k/£5.5k due to the mileage being a little steep and anticipating a clutch change. For any other Z of that mileage I would have said a fair bit less, but if the car is in good condition and obviously spending £3.5k on a respray (you won't want it going cheap!) so it has got to be worth starting around that price! I decided that I probably wouldn't get the money I wanted for my Z, so I'm keeping it for another year at least, and getting my clutch and flywheel done 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formatzero Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 No idea what it's worth, but it's a lovely looking Zed ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I would value your car at £5000.00 cash for a private sale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADPHONES Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Must be heartbreaking to let the zed go after so much care and upkeep only to be eroded away by depreciation. The silver lining is someone is going to get a mighty fresh looking Zed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 £5500 Right now due to high mileage. You can probably play on the fact you had it resprayed and treated which many other zeds havent had the same treatment done yet. Also new clutch is a good selling point. zman is probably closer to the real value. But good to start high then work downwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay M1988 Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 Many thanks all, the clutch/fly and rev up will go ahead as planned. I’ll enioy it and see what the future holds for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
