The color of your Z may be the problem.
I'm not knocking it, or being rude.
The fact that it's not a common color
that most people look for.
Good luck with your sell.

How long have you owned the car? If it is near being paid off, just hang in there and finish it up. Otherwise, scout auto trader and price it competitively with the other Z's of that age and type.

relax, worst case you'll sell it to a dealer. You'll take a hit but at least you don't have to go through torture the next couple of month.

I priced my 03 Performance out with 36k miles on KBB, and I ended up with 18.5K private party? So I don't now how a lesser model with more miles can be worth more? Also I don't think Le Mans is as popular as it once was. Just my .02

I agree and will add my .02

LS isnt the most popular color for most people, you really have to like that color. I dont mind it, but I wouldnt buy one.

Price is a little high, I wouldnt have paid that when I bought mine a few months ago. I ended up with an 04.5 with 17k with basic mods for 20k. So I would lower your price couple hundred dollars and see where that gets you.

Also being late in the summer and in oregon people will be less likely to buy since they wont be getting very much time out of it before the snow starts falling.

Maintain vigilence, it'll happen, it took me 8 weeks to sell my old car before I could get the Z.

i agree, it takes a certain person to buy a color like that you just have to wait longer or lower the price, then somebody who is shopping for a 350z and who really wants one wont mind the color if their saving a couple grand. If your somebody like me i waited a long time to find the right black 350z, there was hundreds of silver ones but i wanted black.

I think you meant a couple thousand $.

OP, now I feel compelled to search for those vids of yours. Laughter is the best medicine, they say.

Not when you can buy an 07 base for 26k.

1. 35,000 350Zs were sold in the US for the 2003 model year.
2. Your car is a first year car.
3. You will never get book value for any 350Z, there are simply too many out there.

Real street value on that car is probobly around $16,000. I work for a Nissan dealership.

I got my 03 track model Z at a steal... It was on lease to some guy and he sold it to me for 18,500...only 20,000 miles on the odo. maybe consider dropping the price cuz of the higher mileage.

I do think your price is a bit high for the reasons mentioned above (color, 2 seater, population of z cars) however, I think there is another factor, for which there is nothing you can do about. the subprime mortgage fallout is starting to hit the economy pretty hard. bank money is being flushed into the system to try and stabilize it but overall, there is not as much money to lend. granted, this is primarily for housing and business things but alot of people are feeling the crunch right now, that is going to make selling a hot little sports car a bit more difficult than usual.

lower the price.....I just got a 03 Touring, Navi, 35k on it for $16,500.

Which means i got more of a car than yours for almost 3k less.

Good luck
