Hello! I have a 2003 Nissan 350z Touring Coupe that I am thinking about selling, but I dont really know how much I could sell it for if I could have some help that would be awesome, (I live in Idaho BTW) and I have done the drivers side glovebox conversion, (double glovebox), 2006 Taillight swap, iJDMTOY secondary Taillights (Non-Sequential), Black 18x7.5 Rep Wheels, Brake pads just replaced, rotors lathed, both camshaft position sensors just replaced, coil packs just replaced, spark plugs just replaced, Knock sensor just replaced, new drivers side window motor, New Headlights, BUT the tires are basically bald, i have a fair dent in the drivers side quarter panel, and dents bad enough in the passenger door and fender that they will need to be replaced, but it has 91k miles, and it is a 6 speed manual model, I also have an aftermarket BOSS head unit... thoughts?

I'd probably think 4-6K to a kid who is looking for a drift car.

The maintenance and the "mods" add no value to the car. The boss unit IMO lowers value. Those wheels/tires honestly will lower the value by about 1500 and then minus for body damage

Any prospective buyer is going to immediately notice the body damage and almost undrivable tires. All the things you listed do nothing as far as value. That's like adding up all of the gas you've put in it and the costs of oil changes to the blue book.

And sorry my dude, but BOSS is trash.

At the end of the day, you've got an imperfect 20 year old car. If you addressed the glaring items, you would not get a dollar for dollar return.

No mention of overall mileage, but I suspect it's high. I agree with other posts, I suspect you'll get few offers for a Z car in this condition.

OP said 91K miles, which isn't terrible, but I still don't think he's going to get a lot of hits.

recommend fixing the car, putting new tires on it, making it nice the way you would want it for yourself as a keeper. then it will bring more. you'll get back what you put into it. I bought a replacement fender from a parts yard for $150. you might be able to get paint match. these cars are bringing 15K on bringatrailer with low miles. but that's the key. low miles and perfect condition.

I agree! I bought this car for 4k with no body damage, no head unit, and one broken taillight, and then I bought 06 tails for 15 bucks apeice at a junkyard, and the secondary tails for $50 used on marketplace, I got the glovebox at a junkyard for $20, and then my buddy backed into me, causing the body damage, and then he paid me 5.3K to get it repaired, then i got quarter panel damage from someone hitting me and not leaving a note while I was at work, so if I can sell this car for even 4k i feel like i would be ahead.. do you think that if i replaced the tires, and fixed the body damage, that it would be worth it to do that? Would I get my money out of it you think??

why would it cost $5,300 to repair fender damage?

I have some skepticism on the body shop estimate. If the dent in the LR QP is significant, it will be an expensive repair. The QP is double walled, with no easy way to pull or punch it out. The entire section is welded-in, so the only option is to weld a new section in and prepare the repaired area for new paint. That could be a $2-3K repair by itself.
