Anyone in Canada thinking of selling their Z?

Radride

Let me know if you're thinking about selling your Z. Either post all of the info including all of the mods (I prefer stock cars), location and the price your thinking or you can just PM me.

I guess I should be a little more specific. The car needs to be a sport with the big brakes. 6 speed. Nav isn't important.

I'd sell, but I'm far from stock.

I appreciate that. The reason why I want a stockish car because we all have our different tastes when it comes to modding. In your case, the only mod I would be interested in is the turbo kit and lowering springs. Everything else would have to be stock.

Selling a modded car is tough and you only get around 30% back on your mods not including labour. So if you have Sasha's kit ($7000) plus lowering springs ($250), you'll only get around $2500 back when you sell your car. Right now the average car is listed for $28000 and will probably sell for $26000; add your 2500 and you have a 28500 car. It sucks I know. I've been modding cars probably a lot longer than most of you and I always take a bath.

That's just the reality.

Like you I'm no spring chicken. I've been building/modding cars longer than most of these guys have been able to walk. I usually don't brag about it.

Lets just say I bought my car at the right time. It was basically new with 6000 miles. I could turn my car back to stock right now and make money on it. And that's after 2 years of ownership.

My point was, anything is for sale. Whether or not someone is willing to pay the price is a different story.

Lastly, You should look at the going rate for used forced induction kits. I believe the BP turbo kit would fetch a lot more than $2500 used. I'm sure other would agree.

Anyhow, good luck with your search. You'll find what you're looking for just like I did.

Let us know how you make out.

That will always hold true if the owner wants to part out his car and return it to stock. One will always yeild the most money doing it that way. But some owners don't have the time or the resources and just want to sell it as is.

The other thing I wanted to ask is, the interior color of the white one is very light. How hard is it to keep clean? I'm a little scared of a light colored interior.

be patient and wait to find one with a black interior, black is more fitting IMO the frost looks a little weird

haha no way I wouldn't let my 40th go for $28k

maybe a high mileage base Z, but not a loaded Z you are looking at least $30-32K+ for a decent Z with sport package!

not to mention some other the cheaper ones I have gone to look at with a buddy, he too thinks he will get an awesome Z for <$30K on the road taxes paid etc….. but every time we have gone the car was seriously neglected. the one looked like someone took a grater to the seats!

looking at auto trader all the <$30k look pretty rough

one guy is only looking for $18K it's auto and his pics show it cover in snow I know you want MT though. but I bet you also want one in good shape to start with no?

couple others around $27-29K say they include winter tires so yo know it has been abused with winter driving they should be asking the city to be reimbursed for their snow plow services

I totally agree. A 40th Anniversary car is very expensive and in my eyes, not worth the premium to me. Same with the Nismo cars. There are a bunch of cars in Alberta in the high 20's forsale currently. They are low milage 09/10's. I have patience in my old age.

Patience will be key in getting what you want for the right price

you should consider bringing one up from the states much cheaper down there

With the exchange it will cost me 30% more to my door so a 25k US car will almost be 32k all said and done. Trust me. I've looked into it and I have imported before.

LMBmikeZ

damn that sucks! I know "normally" you can get it cheaper

at least you have looked into it

GL in your search
