Total: $14520

50% Depreciation Adjustment: $7260

KBB Private Value: $23430

$23430 + $7260= $30690

Tell him all the mod he puts in. It's gone. $23430 should be the price.

just a quick .02 cents....

kbb for the car is 23.5k and he is selling a modded car for 25k.

there is alot of a-hole that would try to sell this car for 35k. it is true mods = 0 when it come sale price. but in this case he is being at least fair.

+1. It doesn't seem like that bad a deal, especially when he seems to have used QUALITY parts. A lot of people try to jack up their prices when the car has $600 "baller" wheels on it (and they claimed to have paid $4,000 dollars for it ). This one looks tastefully done. Your call.

i personally would not only for the fact that for the most part, people mod cars so that they can drive them faster. I bought an 03 used and was so not interested in a used Z bc the reason the first person bought this car is to drive fast and beat the hell out of it. But i was able to get it certified and extended warranty up to 100,000. so that took away the fear. good luck

Would I bid on that car (or any other for that matter) without first driving the car? No.

1) Absolutely.
If I dont like the Mod it'll ad zero to what I am willing to pay but , Mods that pretty much everybody likes (exhaust, leather on an enthusiats, nicer wheels etc) add about 40% of purchacse prise of the Mod in my book,

2) Yes . Our cars dont have too many expensive repairs that are common.

Even the tranny issue if its an early car but it doesnt show up until after warranty is out chances are it never will.

That car on ebay looks Sharp!

Fred..

There is a LOT to like about that car and the SSV Manifold, definetly adds ot the value of the car ( as does the APS TT).


The shift ****, kinda gives me the WTF effect tho..

this is a better deal imo.

04 for 28k with tt. nice setup too. and 5900 miles.


its laughable i just saw a z in private classfieds that the owner wants 50k for a 03 because it has a nice tt setup. some people live in a dream world.
