Default what's my 2003 track worth these days?

My wife wants me to get rid of my Z. It is a 2003 track package (with the Rays wheels, factory LSD, cloth seats and Brembos). This package was hard to find back in 2007 when I bought mine. I can't imagine it has become any easier now.

Looking at current postings I find a lot of vehicles listed as track package that clearly are not. I also find a few pristine examples at sky high asking prices.

You can use kbb.com to get a rough idea but it's gonna come down to how clean it is, documents and finding the right buyer. I'd suggest looking at comparable cars on FB marketplace, CL and Autotrader.com. Mods like wheels and exhaust generally add 5-10% of what you spent so most people remove and sell separately.

I think you mean kbb.com. Make sure the zip code entered is correct, as regional pricing does vary quite a bit.

Mods always decrease the value of your car. Original cars usually always sell for more.

The chassis is old enough now to where the specifics of each vehicle make a huge difference in the getting price for a 350z.

If it is clean (respray/rust), has a newer transmission (its safe to say that just about every single 02-04 350z on the planet has had the transmission replaced at least once - and if it hasnt, it will need it once it actually gets driven), has all the basic TSBs and common issues over the years addressed (from just annoying - window streaks - to costly, such as the transmission or pervasive chassis/bushing work).

Ultimately though, your best bet is to either sell a super squeaky clean "stock" 350z for a slight premium over the ragged thrashed 350zs that are a dime a dozen, or sell a well modded/track prepped Z to an enthusiast who realizes how expensive going that route can be.

For example, I tallied all my parts for kicks the other day, to build a carbon copy of my Z you would need over 35k which includes a low 6k car purchase price (for a CLEAN chassis), excluding labor and taxes (lol), chassis development (I can prove my Z is fast on track, relatively speaking of course), and parts that are one-off/custom, to duplicate.

Also worth noting for that number above, my car has ZERO internal engine work (100% stock internals). But engine work is one area where aside from raw parts there is the least resale value-add. Unless your name is Jim Wolf or Sasha Anis of course
