I just recently bought this wrecked 350z (with a clean title and 17k miles; 6 speed) and my plan was to restore it. I then realized that I would not be able to afford all the repairs, so now I must sell the car. Only problem is, I have no idea what it's worth in this condition. I know nothing about 350z's (enthusiast-wise). The suspension was all messed up, but i have replaced most of the assembly on both side so it is in fully drive-able condition.

All that needs to be replaced is the following:
Front Bumper
Driver side head light
Both fenders
air bags
glove compartment area panel
windshield
and maybe a couple other things
i don't see how i'm f**ked, it's like $7,000 worth of repairs MAX. And the car is worth what in excellent condition? $23k? Do the math. It's not as bad as you make it sound.

hahah i would not give you more than 1000 bucks for that car maybe 2000... you want to know why the windshield is cracked? it is because the drivers side a-pillar is bent ... when that car was in the accident... it had its top down... and i bet you are wondering why the top doesnt close right?....

you are kidding yourself if you think that 7000 will cover this damage... that a pillar alone will cost 5000 to fix... look an insurance company chose not to fix that car for a reason... and that reason is that it is not worth it... i feel bad for you because you got screwed... but you arent going to get anything out of it... let me list out some prices for you
a-pillar... 5000
windsheild ... 1000 for nissan glass 500 for ppg glass
front bumper ... 700
hood... 700
fenders... 2000
airbags... 3000
new front crash bar... 600
new front chassis... 900
total 14,900... that is more than 60 percent of the value of the car... car is/should have been TOTALED
talk to a GOOOD body shop... tell me whether or not that comes close... i am pretty sure it is
but hey... you can always part out the car... your car has a nice rear end...

I think you are misunderstanding the question. My question was: What is the value of the car in it's current condition. Not: How much would you pay for the car. The a-pillar is not bent fyi.

How old are all of you, 16? Value of a car is not what you would pay, but the value of the car on the market. I figured this forum would be full of kids who's parents bought them their cars.

take your trash else where. next time, get to the point. if you want to sell it, set a price. dont come to a forum where everyone owns a Z and knows what a Z is worth and try to rip people off. try ebay, many suckers there. unfortunately for you, we are somewhat edjucated as to what Z cars are worth.

I'm not trying to rip anybody off. If anyone wanted to buy the car, they could gladly come and look at it. I'm not trying to sell it to anybody on here. All i'm asking is what it's worth. Even IF the car had a messed up a-pillar, that's beyond the point. I was asking for the value of the car in the condition that I stated. I was considering to buy a wrecked TT 300zx at one point that was in similar condition to this Z, and the 300zx guys gave me normal answers, in fact they gave higher prices than you all did. You're telling me a 13 year old 300zx is worth more in the same wrecked condition than an 04 Z?
