so that's what the BMW dealer was talking about when he said "buying a BMW is more of an investment than any other car, these hold value" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Kerwin's 300 definitely has a reputation, but for how much longer I don't know. That generation who appreciates the ZX is getting older and I think its like you said, without the right specs Im not paying more than 2k-3k if I was in that market.
I imagine a lot of the 300ZX price elasticity hinges on a far smaller of subset of people than the BMW aficionados. Maybe you could get the money Kerwin is talking about if you find a white suburban kid whos hot for rice and buying his first car. without the turbos man I don't see it. |
ya it's too late to get in on e30's now prices are already going to the moon. unless you wanna buy 3 shitty ones and have a project. same deal with 2002's. if u don't already have one "good luck"
like if i really wanted to be a dick, my dashboard is almost worth as much as the NA z32. crack free baby. new ones are NLA so the value on a crack free e30 dash is only goin up now.
with or without the turbos, most i'd spend on a 300zx is 3.5 unless it came with a retarded amount of service history or a really well documented build thread.
he's totally right that a stock 300zx can hit 10k+, and there's a lot of them out there worth 10k+, but they have to be pretty close to perfect cosmetically and mechanically. turbo or not they're notoriously unreliable cars with some parts availability issues and most of them have been ruined by previous owners. the money in 300zx's is with 100% stock + clean low miles ones with maintenance or a restoration. people buy them for the aesthetic (they are beautiful cars) and no other reason. a bolt-on 500whp build like kerwin was talking about isn't worth as much as a stock one if we're talking about the higher end of the market.
