Default What's it worth?

So I know kbb and what I paid but I want to know from actual z enthusiasts what this car us actually worth. . .

Just picked up an 03 touring edition with the buttercream colored seats with 17,000 original miles. Car doesn't have a scratch on it inside or out and even the carpets look brand new. First owner used as summer car 13000 miles a year garaged and has never seen snow.

For the z enthusiast is this car worth the 17000 I paid for it?

Any car is "worth" what someone will pay for it, so in your case your car was worth $17,000. Sounds like a decent deal, but personally for that kind of money I would have bought a newer model - more power, a few more creature comforts. But to each his own.

I would say that maybe you overpaid a little bit but not 5-6K. But if your happy then that is fine. Lots of people paid much for than 17K for the same car back in the day. Hell I paid 26K for 04 touring with 6k on the od back in 2006.

But the difference is the car is going on 10 years old. Back in the day, it would have been a good price.

It all depends on the market/timing/mileage/region you bought it in.

I also was finding 03 Zs with similar mileage for around the same price.

There's an '04 Touring with 21,290 miles for $17,000 for sale near me right now.

Seems a little high, but I"d say you didn't get ripped off.
Hope you enjoy your new ride man

I picked up a 2007 white Z: one owner, no scratches whatsoever, absolutely perfect condition with 29k miles for 17 grand. I purchased the car nine months ago.

Which trim level?

That will play into the price as well. But again, it varies across different regions. I looked at a 2008 Grand Touring that was $22,000 with 20k something miles.

Crazy that the Z is already into the 8-14k range!

I hate now it's in Honda buyer's range bracket, but love the projects people are going to create with this chasis seeing is so cheap...
