alscar Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Has anyone noticed a massive drop in value on the 350s?? Im not sure if its just that autotrader has a few cheap ones on at the moment, but I'm fairly sure in the month since I last checked mine has dropped a chunk!!??

Jay Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Yeh they have taken a dip in price mate! Its just cause no one wants a performance car when the petrol prices are so high! My mate has just lost 1500 bucks on his zed and he has only had it for 4 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Not just zeds, houses, other cars...... basically the 2nd hand value of everything has dropped and is continuing to do so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 As with houses, the value of your zed is only an issue if you want to sell it. Think the future GT-R owners may have flooded the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lomoto Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Every large engined car has tumbled in the the last few weeks, so dont think it is just the Zed, i've just picked up a 5 litre Merc for a song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Quads Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I think its a general price decrease - I would say the Z has held its value fairly well over the last few years. Its down to the whole housing - harder to get loans etc. If you think the Z has gone down have a look for how much RX8 owners are loosing in their first 2/3 years of ownership Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 deserves them right for choosing the rx8 over the zed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I think its a general price decrease - I would say the Z has held its value fairly well over the last few years. Also, there's rather a lot more 350z's around now than there was say 4 or 5 years ago when some of us purchased the first 350's. Flooding the market = loss in our value. Unfortunately that's life. Different ways to consider it though, if you're like me, and purchased new to keep the car, then it only matters if it's written off. But for most people it would probably be a toy for a few years, broad generalisation here, so your value matters more against whatever your next toy is.

Cool Hand Luke Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 From what i can see its the newer cars that are taking the biggest hit at the moment, the older cars must be close to bottoming out for a while (fingers crossed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 But for most people it would probably be a toy for a few years, broad generalisation here, so your value matters more against whatever your next toy is. That was my plan but at current prices its not worth selling & I can't bring myself to sell it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alscar Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 I think the Zed has held its value really well over the past two years, its only in the last 2 months that I have had any concern that its taken a real hit. Having said that, your all probably right, the country is getting more expensive at the moment. That credit crunch thing going on!! Groan!

martinmac Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Opo down the road to Thurrock tonight to see why the zed is worth the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 you cant single out the 2nd hand value of the Z, the country is in a mini recession the bigger picture is the 2nd value of everything is dropping, the only things on the rise are interest rates and unemployment everyone is scared of spending so its more difficult to sell so people are dropping their prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Property prices are still on the rise in Aberdeen! Yeehah a micro economy based solely on the oil price..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Used to have a big sign on the bridge of the anchor handler I was on in Aberdeen in the 80s; Please God let there be one more oil boom. We promise not to p*$$ it all against the wall this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Ha ha! It might be booming but the companies are savvy to the 'huge' wages this time. They aren't increasing the wages. It sucks. I want a huge salary! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nixy Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I used to be the world's worst at worrying about how much money I was losing on a car. I hardly dare think how much I have lost over the years. This time I have decided I just don't want to know. I have found a car I can see myself keeping for a long time for once and will only sell it if I really have to.

marzman Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Yeh - for the first time im not worried about the decreasing values - for me its a good thing! Im never going to worry about the running costs of a car - and will never buy something run of the mill. Next cars i'll be getting are a range rover sport and a gtr! ...so these falling prices are simply bringing these top end cars within my grasp.
