Default Should I sell my 350z?

hey guys,

iv been thinkin about selling my 350z and gettin a g35 coupe. i still want kinda of a sport car feel of the z and have BACK seats. so g35 coupe comes to mind.

how much you think i could get my for z the way it is or should i part it out and sell it? one minor set back, it does have a salvage title but have the accident pics and it was only on the side and to be honest they weren't bad.

if your gonna trade at this point, james, you might as well trade for a new ser2 G37, pass up the ser1 G35 if you have the option of "upgrading"; essentially the g35 ser1 would just be side stepping...

I think you would earn more money if you part out some stuff before selling. Mods hardly ever raise the value of the car

the thing is, i cant afford the g37. i also dont like how the body lines of the g37 look. looks kinda off and funky.

g35, id get a lip or lip kit, drop it on 19's and ill make sure there will be some pokage.

Definately part it out if you're going to sell. The salvage title is good if it runs fine and you're keeping it but not so good if you're planning to sell

+1... There's got to be a couple of local CS Z owner's that would be interested in your mods...

I'm not sure if you can even trade in a Salvaged vehicle.. You'll definitely get a very low offer on a trade-in....

G35 coupes are nice looking, have back seats, and there is a sun roof option. It all depends on what you want and how bad. Enough room for the kids and a dog.

the only reason why i have the salvage z is because my dads owns a body shop and the damage was minimal to fix so i bought it back from the insurance. the front was not even touched, just the sides. original air bags too.

if i get a g, it will either be black or white, with gold wheels. probably the INGs kit again.

The new 2 door Altima Coupe looks like the G35 from the side. The Nissan looks more like a sports car. I used to like G35's but I don't care for the front end, however I do think the back of the G35 looks better than the Nissan. No offense but, I think they need to do something different with the rear end and tail lights of the Z. ( just my personal opinion)

Final word, I like a little bit of both G / Z.

If you do part out your car, hit me up regarding the wheels. I would be interested in them.

I'd say keep the Z and save money to buy a house. That is a better investment than a car.

Salvage = deal killer, unless you expect like $15k, IMHO. I want a salvage 350 to gut and beat on at the track, not a nice one for cruising. It's salvage because the damage was >80% of the value of the car, so it couldn't have been too "minor".
