Look I'm not trying to argue that there's no way it could be. But if you're asking right now? There is no reason to think that it would be some outrageously special value in the future. Sure it'll be worth something in the years to come. Cause it's a badass car that has classic lines. But a numbered Nismo will never be anything other than slightly more valuable than a non-Nismo as a general comparison. That's just my uneducated opinion. Funny how often people like to tell me my opinion is wrong :rolleyes:

No one is saying your opinion was wrong, the thread is about V1 Nismos, slightly because of the fact that it is a numbered car and because of smaller stuff too. One, being a manual only trim and its relevance to the racing scene and popularity. V2 Nismos are better for your explanation because they arent numbered and more generic in a sense. I'm not saying our cars are super kick *** and that it deserves insane praise, im just saying comparing it to a stock 370z value wise now and in the future is truthfully laughable because quality and rarity has always been a car scene distinction regardless of how well the upgrades "function" over stock and comparing it to aftermarket upgrades.

That numbered badge isn't going to be the difference between the car appreciating or not. That's all I'm saying. But I could be wrong.

You say tomato, I say t'mater.

Well put, I concede.

:tiphat:

You didn't concede. In the end, we're not really arguing opposing views. Just making different points.

I'm all for some Z34 appreciation. Financial or otherwise :icon17:

Just before I bought my Nismo in 2012 I drove a new base model and I was not impressed. I did not want to by a Mustang or Camaro and didn't want anything other than a two seater. I saw Nismo at a Carmax and decided to give it a try. The driving experience was so much different I bought it the next day. I didn't know anything about the platform at that time and then my education began. She has been modded every since I bought it. $200k is about right LMAO!

V1 NISMO all the way! Looks was deciding factor. Still get compliments from random people.

Here in Europe only in the year 2014!

the answer is no....

the few Japanese cars that actually appreciated over time (from the bottom) are the first gen NSX and Mark IV Supra. The ones with very low mileage and in pristine original condition. The modified ones worth a lot less.

Hey all!

Honestly just opening a discussion to whether or not the Version 1 Nismo's are appreciating or not. I own one and was just messing around online and see that a lot of the V1's are being bought left and right and their prices increased by 3-5K?! Do we think it will continue to appreciate over the years? (obviously slowly) And may become a JDM classic? Open to all opinions! :icon17:

:iagree:

I personally preferred the more subtle of the Z with sport/touring options.

The performance difference is a non factor for me.

And you know why Nissan does that? Because there are people who will pay more for those distinguishing features. Even if they are not that great and easily copied. The market is there.

Regardless of your feelings on the matter, a stock Nismo is a liability just like 99.9% of all cars. There is some extra value there compared to a non-Nismo Z, especially to certain buyers. But the Nismo version appreciating in value is a laughable thought.

Go see how much a 240z, 260z, or 280z cost. You will be surprised. Ones in good shape with everything cost a mint. Modified or not.

Same goes for the B210, s2k and Evo! Hell the cost of new Subies are driving the price of older models up.

I am sure the first gen Z's worth quite a bit. they are 2 decades older than the nsx and supra.. there are probably very few remain as they get rusted out easily. Had one long ago and loved it.

Don't really follow the collector market... are they going for 6 figures now?
