Default What is my car really worth?

I just bought my 350Z a few weeks ago. This is what is had:

2006
350Z GT w/NISMO/Carpets say NISMO
Gold leather seats, Nav, 18'' front, 19'' Back
20K Miles

This car is very fun to drive, glad I bought it. Dealership are telling me 16K, but I know that is BS for the value, not looking to sell it just wonder what it's worth.

I paid $20500 for it, 16k is what a dealership was saying he would give me for it. I bought is as a repo at my Credit Union I work for.

The reason I ask the question is because why can't I pull a NISMO value for my 2006 350z as an option under blue book or NADA. However, the option is there in the NADA for a 07 model on up. The Nissan dealership pulled it up as a GT however I have a NISMO on it, does it matter, or is there a difference. The dude at the dealership said he has never seen that on a 06 before stock.

that's prolly bc your floormats say nismo, but your car is just a plain ol gt.

and your car is worth more like $15k in "reality" dollars.

If that's the case then why do I have a exhaust that stick out back that says Nismo. Under the hood a cool air intake is attached that says Nismo. Plus I have Brembo brakes. 20K miles. How is it worth 15k?

there is no true Nismo for 03-06, only 07-10. that car isnt a nismo, trust us on this one. and 06 can be a base, enthusiast, performance, touring or track model.

I asked what the difference is between my car and the 2007 Nismo. The previous owner got the vehicle from the dealership as is.

Everything on that website is my car. Example:The Nismo 350Z rides on lightweight forged wheels and carries 245/40R18 Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R tires in front and 275/35R19s in the rear. Specially tuned springs and dampers are part of the package. Same.Among other things listed.

I do not see any difference.

exhaust, brembo brakes, suspension, body styling, wheels, interior (seats, custom center panel), not to mention the 07 350z's have a VQ35HR motor. oh the most important feature, the "enhanced body welds" for better rigidity.

Dredston,

Here is a complete breakdown of the various 350Z models. I hope this information help you understand....................

Model Breakdown (2003-2004.5):


Base: 3.5L V6 with 287hp/274 ft-lbs of tq., 17" rims. Only available in 6-speed MT. No VLSD, cruise control.

Enthusiast: Added Cruise Control, HID headlights, Aluminum pedals, Auto-dimming rearview mirror, VLSD, and TCS. Available in either 6-speed MT or 5-speed AT.

Performance: Adds VDC , 18" rims (18"x8" all around). Only available with 6-speed MT.

Touring: Adds Leather seats w/ power adjust-ability, Bose sound system, and optional DVD Navigation. Available in either 6-speed MT or 5-speed AT.

Track: Adds 18" Rays Track Rims (18"x8" front, 18"x8.5" rear, approx. 18.3 lbs per rim), Brembo Big Brake Kit, underbody aero kit w/ rear hatch spoiler. Only available in 6-speed MT.

*Please note all automatic models Enthusiast up only had TCS, no VDC.

There were no major changes until the 2004.5 model, in which the suspension was changed slightly to help alleviate the "tire feathering" problem. I'm not sure the exact change, but there were some small changes in the suspension that seemed to help lessen the cases, though there were some still sporadically appearing.

The next major changes wouldn't come until 2005. Nissan introduced the "Rev-Up" 300hp/260tq variant of the VQ35. It was featured in the 2005 Track and 35th Anniversary models (6-speed MT only). Major changes included VTC on the exhaust cams, improved internals, higher redline, and modified lower plenum. Also, all models received a new, redesigned front suspension which appears to have helped to combat the problems with tire feathering.

The 35th Anniversary model that appeared in 2005 was a mesh of the Touring and Track model. It featured the same Brembo Brakes and 300hp motor of the Track model, but all the comfort amenities of the Touring such as leather, Bose sound system, and optional Navigation. It was available in 6-speed MT or 5-speed AT, though the AT received the 287hp/274tq engine and did not feature VDC, just TCS. The 35th Anniversary also feature unique 18" 5-spoke rims.

The Z received a small redesign on 2006 to both the car itself and to the model lineup. The car received a slight facelift with a subtly redesigned front bumper, new Bi-Xenon headlights, and LED tailights. Also, all 6-speed models except for the Track and Grand Touring were equipped with the 18" rims from the 2005 35th Anniversary (Enthusiast AT's get the 17" rims, Touring get the 2003-2005 18" Touring rims). Under the hood, all MT models recieved the 300hp/260tq Rev-Up motors. All AT models recieved the 287hp/274tq motors.

Inside, there were some spots of added aluminum trim, as well as new steering-wheel mounted audo controls in all Enthusiast-up models.


Model Breakdown (2006):


Base:Bi-xenon HID's, five-spoke 18" rims, 6-speed MT only. No VSLD or cruise control.

Enthusiast: Adds TCS, VLSD, Cruise Control, Auto-dimming rearview mirror, aluminum pedals, Illuminated audio controls on steering wheel. Availble with MT or AT.

Performance: No longer exists in current lineup.

Touring: Adds VDC (manual only), Bose Audio w/ MP3 playback
capability, leather seats w/ power and heat. Available with MT or AT.

Track: Adds Brembo Braking system, underbody aero package, rear
hatch spoiler, lightweight Rays rims (18"x8.5" Front, 19x9.5" rear). MT only.

Grand Touring: Adds Brembo brakes and Rays Rims from Track model, underbody aero package, Bose sound system, and leather seats. Available with MT or AT.

*Please note all automatic models Enthusiast up only had TCS, no VDC.

In 2007, Nissan took the 350z another step forward and released the new HR model motor. Featuring a new twin-intake, variable valve-timing on the exhaust cams, a 7500RPM redline, the engine was claimed to be 80% new. 2007 also saw the demise of the Track model and replaced with the Nismo edition car, limited to a production run of 1500 cars. The Nismo edition featured a specially-engineered chassis welded to stiffen the chassis, a Nismo edition body kit (dubbed the V3, for version 3, since it was the third iteration of the Nismo body kit for the 350z), and limited edition Nismo exhaust tips (not the full exhaust). The suspension is also stiffer and more suited for a track, though it is still quite streetable.

Model Breakdown (2007-2008):

*All models received the new 306hp VQHR motor.*

Base:Bi-xenon HID's, 18" five-spoke rims, 6-speed MT only. No VSLD or cruise control.

Enthusiast: Adds TCS, VLSD, Cruise Control, Auto-dimming rearview mirror, aluminum pedals, Illuminated audio controls on steering wheel. Availble with MT or AT.

Touring: Adds VDC (manual only), Bose Audio w/ MP3 playback
capability, leather seats w/ power and heat. Available with MT or AT.

Grand Touring: Adds Brembo brakes and Rays Rims from Track model, underbody aero package, Bose sound system, and leather seats. Available with MT or AT.

Nismo: Adds Brembo Braking system, factory-Nismo aero package, OEM Nismo suspension setup, lightweight Rays rims (18"x8.5" Front, 19x9.5" rear). MT only.

it's worth $15k bc that is my estimate of the liquid cash value of your
car for quick sale purposes. i am not trying to be an ***, just trying to
help you get a feel for how the market perceives the value of our cars.

for good measure let's throw in a +/- 10% figure for ***** and giggles.

a 2007 NISMO edition car with 25k miles + is worth $22k in "reality dollars"
for instance.

i buy and sell many things for work and am an avid ebayer. i cull my information
from auctions (both net and live) and my years of experience.

you say you bought this car for $20k+?

why?

did you look at what cars were closing for on ebay and in your area?

seems like premium dollars were spent.

at least you bought a Z.
