this is the 2nd time i put my car on ebay. both times, a lot of people have been very interested....until they find out that it's a base model. dont know what to do..

has anybody else had trouble getting rid of their base?

 

I imagine that would be difficult to sell since most used Zs are the same price regardless of trim. Why not get more for same price? You may have to price it really low or take it to dealer for trade-in value.

 

Compared to other models, demand for the base is low. Your car will sell. It just wont bring the price that you're asking.

 

Dude.... did you just make that? What the hell is it telling me?

I made the chart from another 350Z forum. Members there indicate which model they drive, and the data is “searchable.” I believe that it is representative of this forum, and the general 350Z population. The most popular 350Z is the Touring meaning that almost as many people drive the Touring Coupe as all the other models combined. So shoppers are less apt to be shopping for the Base than the other models.

 

How many miles? What kind of price are you hoping for?

 

only 8900 miles. im hoping to get 21,600.

 

Thats not too bad. You should be able to sell it for that price. Plus i think you timing might hurt. This time of the year, people arent really looking to buy sports cars (atleast up north). You should have better luck when it gets closer to spring. But since you live in the south, that really shouldnt be a problem. Good luck!!

 

thats your problem right there. 21,600 for a base you can buy brand new for 26 or less? NO. Id pass too. Lower your price to 19k and it will sell. Or keep it and mod it out up to touring spec (lsd, nice rims, nismo exhaust, zenon headlights) then people will pay for the car.

Also that graph doesnt mean anything. So since there is a low ownership of 35th anny's no one wants one? low demand? i think not. All that graph says is touring is the most common.

 

wtf is a base model plz??????

 

03-05 base models differed from the other models by:
no HIDs
17" wheels, not 18"
no aluminum pedals
no TCS or VCD
no LSD
no auto dimming mirror/homelink
no Bose
no Cruise control
no steering wheel buttons for the radio
no leather/power/heated seats
no NAV

...thats all I can think of at the moment

 

Keep It!!!!

 

See that what happens when a car company has a few different models of the same car. The base is a 27K car and kind or rare like a track and the touring is I think the most popular and prices at least 32K big difference. So when people are looking for a Z they are thinking more of the touring comes with than the base model.

 

What year is your car?

 

All id recomend is tacking an OBO to the end of that 21,600, i think if you can get it sold for 19k or more you at doing great.

 

i dont have steering wheel buttons for the radio....im a touring

 

only the 06 have streering wheel radio for touring not 03 04 05.

 

Drop price to $19 K.

 

Just to be scientific and statistically accurate, I don't think your car wants to get sold and wants you to keep it forever. It might be going online and messing with your auctions so it won't be sold...

 

Sell it through Autotrader instead. But yeah, I agree that if you really want/need to sell it then just drop the price and the fish will bite.
