You sound pathetic.

Even with the nicely done upgrades, and clean appearance, you would be lucky to get 18, IMO.

THAT is if it is manual.


If AUTO, the typical buyer who would be interested, would NOT likely be interested in ANY upgrades, and would be worth thousands less.

You should list it here also.

This forum will give you exposure to the types of enthusiasts who might be more interested in your car.

I personally would part out then sell. You get more money that way. When I sold my Z I got $3200 for my Volks, $1000 for my exhaust, $900 for my 06+ lights, $350 for the lip ..etc...etc. The parts were all used for about 2 years. I don't think I could have came close to that if I sold the car as is.

If it's pathetic to love my Z then I'm guilty as charged. I'll gladly take that.

Referring to a car as "your lady" is pathetic.

Meh :/
I'm in the same boat. Trying to sell mine since, literally, this morning.
07' stock, base, MT, 19,400 Miles on it... Dallas, Tx.

I'm not using it since I have we have little one and I'm driving the "family" car G37 Coupe, lol, and need the cash too.
I really don't want to sell it, but it is necessary.

If anyone can help and/or suggest where to post it in the forum, I'll appreciate it.

Thanks.

True. A dealer offers financing you do not. Buyers have little interest in price. Downpayment is the important number.

Its worth a shot. There are buyers with cash. You have nothing to lose.

The marketplace is no good. This is a local sale. I believe that you can post "for sale" in your regional forum.

EBay can be a good place to sell a car. I've sold 3 on there so far. But be careful sometimes there are scams. People wanting you to ship out before you get paid etc. And these are buyers in the United states too.

They charge $125 for when you do sell. But it's worth it if you get your asking price

The best place to find a buyer for a modded car would be Ebay. To get the most money out of the car would to bring the car back to stock and sell all the mods as modded cars usually don't go for a premium. Also, if your Z is an auto expect it to sell for at least $2k less than one in manual.

I'm not sure how much your car will sell for, but it looks amazing!

THIS.

Bought and sold off ebay also.

Also a great place to research what a particular car is actually selling for - click the "completed auction" box along with your search.

And hells yes beware scammers.

You even have to worry about getting a fake "cashiers check".

There are many reasons why lots of folks just sell to a dealer, like CarMax or Autonation - sometimes it's worth it not to deal with the hassle.

On a specialty car, like a modded sports car you would get way less though.....

use kbb as a benchmark,

mods = does not add onto the value of your car,

you can try, sometimes it works, sometimes it does not work I have seen Twin turbo 350zs sell on Ebay for a much higher price tag.

kbb isn't very accurate concerning enthusiast cars.

Especially when they are older.
