keep the car, mod it.

 

salvage title kills the resale. might as well keep it and mod it.

 

 

Nice looking Nismo :-)..I was a bit excited when I saw the title of your post.

The r-title hurts the resale value a ton. Not that the car is not in perfect condtion(now)..
if there is nothing wrong with the car, just keep it..build a few years of good history with the car then sell it.. This will prove to the new owner that the r-title means nothing. A car this new to have a r-title will scare many a potential buyer..

just my 2cents.

Keep it, enjoy it..its a great looking car..

The salvage title kills it.

 

why not keep it and mod??? im slowly modding mine.

but with a salvage title i dont think youll get much i say 20k tops

 

Its reconstructed titled now not salvage.. (salvage cant be driven on streets) Its definitly worth over 15k though. I perfer a DE car not a HR for ease of modding and i would rather tt a DE since i have all the parts to build a good bottomend (left overs from my 240sx vq35).

 

Not if current NISMOS are selling used with a good title for 22-24k. Yours is not worth over 15k period.

 

22-24k damn where is this at? there are a few in my area for 29-32k. There are 5 on ebay lowest buy it now it 27,750 the rest havent met reserve.

 

On this forum people have said it, craigs list,, etc. I have seen a few go this low.

I only got offered 22k from a Nissan dealer here for mine. So you figure it out.

 

Dealers arent gonna give what they will turn around and sell it for..even craigslist i seen a few for high 20s and one for 34k.

 

I couldn't even get 25k for mine trying to sell it outright and it was mint with 56XX miles on it.Wound up trading it in for 24,200.Good luck.

 

I know rub it in.. lol.. I just missed buying it

Absolutely agree. I think $20k is a stretch. I think you'd be lucky to get $15-18k. My local dealership was selling a NEW 08' NISMO for $25k plus taxes and fees. This is not hearsay, I was there when they made the offer to me - no trade-in - instead of me getting a Z34. Your car has miles, but worse yet, the r-title. This is not good for re-sale unfortunately. You are going to take it in the a*s to sell it, might as well mod and enjoy it.

Looks like you already have a G35?

 

Its my wifes g35..

 

Its not really about whether its worth over 15k or not. The problem is that no bank will finance a salvaged or reconstructed title, at least not in CA. The problem is going to be finding someone who has that much cash

GLWS i would just keep it and mod it.

 

Your not gonna get anywhere near 25k with a salvaged title. Most dealers wont even want to touch it. I dont know why people buy junk cars fix them and think there gonna get book value for it. Not saying you did that but but the $ you saved by buying your not gonna make a profit on it. Since the car fax is gonna say heavy front end collision glws

 

Those offers are for cars with clean titles. i doubt you told the dealer that. The whole thing doesnt make sense you wanna sell a higher valued car for the same car lesser valued. The reason is you dont want to mod the nismo. Doesnt make any sense

 

the OP is gonna be in for a big disappointment when he finds out his car is worth a lot less than he thinks..

 

Depends on your horsepower goals but plenty of HRs putting down low 500's on stock motor at only 9-10 psi. If you're looking to go bigger than I can understand you wanting a built DE since the power is proven. IMO keep the Nismo and mod that if you know it was repaired properly and drives right.
