pricing for a quick sale
I am moving to center city and can't keep my car. I need to sell it by sept 1. I currently owe 24000 and I guess I would take the closest offer to that...and possibly eat the diference.
I know about looking up the value of my Z on kbb and edmunds , etc. But I was wondering if I could get opinions on how much you think I should ask to guarantee a quick sale for when I put it in the newspaper. My 2003 Silverstone Touring Z, will all options except navigation has 38,000 miles and was just inspected last month. It has new Hawk HPS brake pads and fairly new yokohomo es100 tires and it has no known issues. I have done a search, and am just looking for some quick opinions. Thanks. And, great forum by the way, it has been very helpful in the past two+ years.

Yeah, I have 26K on my 03 performance and it's an early 03 (no feathering or tranny problems either, knock on wood). Almost 3 years old and it's my daily driver but I bought it low and try to keep them low. Your miles aren't outrageous though, just higher than I would want on a used Z unless it was pretty cheap (18K or so). Just my opinion though.

Current Black Book, used by many nissan dealers.
Loan shows $22365, wholesale shows clean at $23200 average at $21300, retail clean at $26725 average at $24450. Nav only adds $500 on used Z's, also shows add $400 on AT-Enthusiast, touring.
That's from the August 05 Black book.

In a similar situation, Touring 6sp, everything except nav. 25,500kms
I talked to a friend that works at a dealership and he said $29,700CDN is black book for it. Maybe you can use that for reference.

Hell, at those prices, I'd get more selling it back to a dealer using that book than I paid for it (from a dealer) 6 months ago!

.It's best to unload the car very soon, because once the dealers start unloading new cars off the lots at year's end, the used prices take a huge hit. In addition to that, after the dealer's are done unloading, you've just reach January 2006. Once it turns January 1, 2006, your car is now considered 1 year older. Again, your used car value gets slapped upside down just by a 1 day difference.
