It's sad to see these cars going for so low though.
I bought mine new in '04 and paid $34,000 for it, now they can be had for $3k.
There aren't very many unmolested stock examples like mine left on the road, hopefully used prices will go up the way the 300ZX did, most z32's sell for as much or more than a z33 nowadays.

I agree. Now i didnt get mine new, since im not that old... yet... haha

While searching for a one, i absolutely had to have a stock one that was unmolested. I overpaid for mine, but i thought it was worth it. 2004 stock with 40k miles, base, paid 15k for it. Went a turboed it. Then i later and oicjed up a silver 04 enthusiast, 100k miles, 10k, and again i overpaid, but still happy. It only have a "nismo" exhaust. Not sure if its authentic or the s tune, but it sounded amazing and i was planning to add a borla to it anyways. Other than that, all stock.

Overall, im happy with both my purchases. And yea i over paid for both, but they were stpck, unmolested and im happy so i thought it was worth it to me.

It is very true unfortunetly that the values go down a lot but at least you've had it since day one and have taken care of it. I must say though I could never justify buying brand new car not until I got like million in the bank haha but you always take a chance buying used car might end up replacing everything on it

I've been grappling with the decision of whether or not to buy a new z34 for a few years now.
I was ready to buy one in '14 but ended up having to buy my old lady a new vehicle, a '14 Rogue, the '15 models came out and I didn't like some of the upgrades, now I'm grappling with the decision to buy a '16 or not before the production of the z34 is over.
I may go certified pre-owned this time, there are quite a few '14-'16 models with fewer than 5,000 miles for sale in my area.

A couple of shots my girlfriend took the other day.
Sadly Facebook destroyed the quality...
I almost put my fender through my tire in the process

They recommend that 50 weight for your setup?

Yeah couldn't drive the car up on the ramps, so I had to lift the Z one side at a time and slide them in and backwards so the jack would go in. Lowered Z problems "The Struggle is Real!!!"

i feel your pain bro. have you looked into the ramps made for extremely low cars? i believe it was design to fit cars that are 3in from the ground. if youre lower than that.... i cant imagine the pain of leaving your driveway haha
