I have a 2004 Touring Roadster w/ 78,000 miles and some special upgrades. I need to sell her to get start-up capital for my company and can't figure out what a fair price to ask for it is.
It's got:
Track edition forged rims (no brembo's)
Cold Air Intake
Modified exhaust
Racing clutch
A one year old new convertible top assembly (all motors and everything)
New suspension with no more than 10,000 miles on it
Body is in excellent condition.

...This isn't my area of expertise so I'm really hoping that someone can help me out with a realistic price to be asking for her.

Many thanks in advance for anyone who replies :-)

 

I forgot to add that Kelly Blue Book estimates it at $13,852 but none of the upgrades can be included in KBB's system.

 

Q: When is a for sale thread not a for sale thread?

A: When it is a How much is my car worth? thread.

 

Sorry my post bothered you so much - I don't usually post on forums (here or elsewhere) so I'm a newbe. I'm not selling it yet, I'm trying to accurately figure out if selling it will net me enough to get an ERP for my business set up. I thought reaching out to other people who love their 350Z would be a good way to figure that out since I don't even know what some if these upgrades are, I inherited them from the previous owner.

Hopefully someone else will still be willing to be helpful instead of snarkey.

 

I hate to say it but a modded Z in only going to be sought after by someone looking for a modded Z. It will also raise a lot of questions on the buyers end. As for adding the value of aftermarket parts onto the KBB value, you will never get the return you want. If you added 5 grand in parts to your car, you won't get that or even half of that back when sold on the car. I would suggest returning the car back to stock, parting out the aftermarket parts you had, and then selling the now stock Z for close to KBB value.

 

^ what he said. i did the same thing with my 02 tacoma, ended up losing only about 3k overall and i had the car for about 3 years. part-out mods, and sell the car stock.

 

I agree with whats already been posted,extra mods(you really do not have many)
in most cases are not gonna increase the selling price of your car.The Blue Book price is a start.Since Z prices geatly vary by areas of the country,I'd check the online listings in Auto Trader and others to get a range of what your year Z is selling for.You may want to keep in mind that the biggest percent of increase in Z sales is comong from female buyers.The roadster(convertible)is especially popular with women buyers.However,most won't give a damn about your mods.They will be attract to the color and condition.
Red and white are hot with the lady buyers.In my area,14k asking would be high.

 

Thanks you guys - it's not what I wanted to hear, but I appreciate the honesty. The one luxury I have is time so I'll see if there is someone out there interested in it as is, and if not after a month or so I can return it to stock...

I really do appreciate you having taken the time to help me with an answer
