ALL THE FI Z owners here,


What happens to the resale value of the car after you install you FI modds?? woudl anyone still buy the car? would the price to up? would the resale price go down ??? IMO I would be hard to sell a car with after market FI. NOt that I would ever sell my Z after an FI Install but just wanna know what you guys think???

 

I sold my G with FI and there was plenty of interest.. you wont sell it at cost but you will be able to sell for a decent price. I sold mine for about $6k over KBB

 

figure about KBB, plus 50% of your mods. Personally, that is what I would ask, and wouldnt take much less.

 

I took it with no lube with the price I agreed to but time was more of a factor. It was about 90% of the price of my mods and install and the person got the car for free. Oh well.

 

This is a question of econonmics:
Supply and Demand
If the demand is there and the supply is low, you will get more. If there is no demand and the supply is high - good luck.
So it depends on where you live, I can't believe that a lot of people in Canada are looking for a NA car that has been FIed? But, if you live in Florida or California than I am sure there is a market there.

 

I purchased my 2nd 350Z w/an aftermarket turbo already installed. It was on the car for 2,500 miles and installed by an APS dealer. Only problem I've had with the turbo or anything related was that I found a bolt loose on the exhaust in the back...that's it.

The owner has to be willing to give it up for certain price, and the buyer has to be willing to pay that price. MoodDude said it right, supply & demand.

 

we would all love to get the money back out of our Z's considering all the money and sweat put into them. but unfortuneately, it doesn't work that way. if someone is looking for a 350Z, most would rather get into the car and do the modding themselves and save on the initial investment and buy a stocker. now if the car is a show winner or has alot of extrordinary work done to it you might see some of the money back. i use about the same rule of thumb as theking ran into, they buy the mods and get the car free, lol.

 

Like Sheriff---Thats always my rule of thumb ---BB plus 50% of mods. Always pays to find a drewler that just HAS to have it though. I just make sure that everything is in top shape. Fresh hoses, Belts, fluids,tune etc. Prob though is a Modded car becomes a one man Car and when its subjected to a new operater S**T can happen.
