galaxyg Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I was looking at the 62 current 350Zs on AutoTrader this morning. I bought my 2005 Z in 2016 for £5k (@ 96,000 miles) and in that time it's done about 10,000 more miles. It's also had a few thousand spent on in insofar as a clutch, flywheel (at Horsham developments), tyres, near-side banana bracket, W-brace, exhaust, pads, discs, re-trimmed steering wheel, new (OEM) gear knob, S2000 stubby aerial and such - all of which is documented. The need for all that work likely explained the purchase price which was about £1K lower than any comparable Z nearby. But now - 6 years later, £5k still seems to be the entry price for a Z. And with more than 110K miles at that. I've not been to AutoTrader for a while. Is this about normal these days? Am I driving a somewhat-valuable "classic"? Michael.

Azurez33 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 I bought mine three years ago at 106k 2005 de fairly standard for 4750 purely because I do work for the salesman, but now when I come to sell mine I’m looking at around 7ish, demand is higher for used cars as supply is not able to keep up!

pintopete58 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Hi guys. Value is what you get full service history has a lot to say . But I sold my 350 September last year 35000 miles for 6800 it was a cat c . I owned it for over 4 years. Not my best decision.

Jack94 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 New and used vehicle prices are crazy at the moment so it’s hard to judge really. All due to the global semiconductor shortage. Manufacturers are struggling to build enough cars, which drives up demand in the secondhand market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm amazed that has trickled down all the way to a 17 year old sports car, but indeed it seems so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loadmaster Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Being a regular Autotrader lurker, I keep an eye on prices generally and for anything interesting. Has to be said that there are numerous 370Z Nismos that just sit for weeks, sometimes months, at very inflated prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
