Sounds like a nice car, and we're actually neighbors. I'd guess $8K is about the top of the market around here for a clean, low-mileage Z like yours, maybe a bit more if you find the right buyer. Not sure black is a plus here in Florida, as it's the very last color I'd buy. Those "dealer add-ons" you listed are simply the standard features which came on a Touring model Z.

You can look on the local Craigslist, and you'll see '03 Z's listed from $5K to $11K and more, but I can safely say those at the high end aren't getting sold at those prices. Most buyers are going to stick pretty hard to the KBB value as their starting point and work down from there, so I'd give that site a try and see what you get.

Ha! Owning a black car in FL is like a cool summer breeze compared to owning one in Phoenix, AZ, which is where I lived when I purchased it.

Dan, You have a very nice car with low mileage. Black/orange is a great color combination. You definitely want to sell this to a private party to get its maximum value. I think it will sell quickly.

The 350z is an excellent car that lasts a very long time when it is maintained properly. You should get at least $8k and probably not more than $11K. That is a lot of money for a 13 year old car.

One of my Alfa Spider's is black with a black top and interior. I don't even think about driving it from May thru September. My other one is silver, and that's the Summer Alfa.

It does seem that "cool" cars in my area are a bit more expensive than other areas, but my car is almost the same as your's but red and I paid 10500 for it. It's largely stock save for a strut brace and some intake mods and it had a clean carfax. Hope that helps.

Its worth keeping... Nobody should ever sell their z cars... But in great shape like it sounds I would say $7500-$9500.

The Low Miles on an Awesome Cool 13 year old Z, in an Off Beat Desirable Color will increase the value just a little bit.

You didn't state if the Accidents were such that they appear on a CarFax, which could negate the gains made in low miles, cool color, and original stock appearance.

As for pricing strategy... How quickly do you want it gone vs. how long are you willing to market the car to get top dollar ?

Start at $10,900 see what happens... Everyone watches all the Pawn Stars / Picker shows and will want to negotiate downward, so this seems like a good starting point to get the top dollar it so deserves for being a Low Mile Survivor.

Agreed, I always high ball when I sell something unless I know the buyer and that they're serious. People like to feel like they won the negotiations, so let them lol.
