Nissan 370Z Forum  

Thought this day would never come, possibly selling the Z...

If I was looking to buy another Z, I’d pay a couple of bucks more for the mods. Saves me the time and hassle. That’s just me, though. YMMV.

General consensus is that modded cars are beat on. Better to just sell it and not mention anything. If a someone likes the mods , they'll notice them.

Oh no, that was you on Facebook Part out to make your money and sell the car faster. I definitely think someone in CFZC or Tampa could be interested with the mods but you could be waiting.

Part out then sell the car as close to stock as possible will always be the most profitable option.

Thinking about this... any used Harley I’ve bought Had 10’s of thousands of dollars of chrome on it that has ZERO resale value while on the bike.

The saying is “chrome don’t get you home”.

That being said, your mods are not just cosmetic. For example:

A stage 2 chrome exhaust that’s been tuned, already on? Worth some dough!
A pair of chrome handgrips? Worthless!

A $400 quality aftermarket seat? Worth some dough!
A $10,000 custom paint job? Worthless!

I think you can see where I’m going here...

What I would do is list it with the mods as “negotiable”. Keeps your options open that maybe your buyer is willing to pay for certain mods already done.

Saves a lot of time and hassle if you don’t have to make it COMPLETELY stock.

Ok, one last thing and I’m done, I swear!

After spending hours, days, weeks, uninstalling your mods, installing the stock parts, storing, listing fees, waiting for sale, waiting for payment, payment fees, packing, shipping, shipping fees, insurance etc...

How much you think your going to recoup? I’m betting less than 30%

I’m not buying anyone’s used parts for anything less than fire-sale prices.

But that’s me, i don’t have the time or patience for that.

Not to mention, the 10 chuckleheads that bought new (unmodded) Z’s last year, narrow the field down a bit.

^^^ not my experience with my last 3 cars, but to each their own.
I typically ask for 50% + shipping on used parts, and sometimes I end up splitting shipping 50/50 or something... but it’s always put a healthy chunk of money in my pockets, especially if I’m dishing out multiple parts at a time.

In my 16 years of modding and selling and repeating,
The only thing aftermarket wise I see that really pumps up the value is if they’re boosted with all the paper work. And personally I’m less likely to buy a car that’s modified with more than a basic bolt on or two. Most people are, but not all.

Off topic, see some Tampa people here (and OP is Lakeland), are there any Z meetups in the area?

Not sure what your situation is but I would say just keep it as long as you can. You may power out of your situation just fine.

I am in a similar situation with my health. I would have to pay someone to return the car back to stock. I have most of the stock parts but would throw that in with the sale. Let the new owner decide what they want to do when the car eventually goes up for sale. Just enjoy while ya can...

I've been dealing with a bad knee for around 6 months now. At first it would come and go. That was around a year ago, but for the past 6 months, it's been constant. With me compensating for the knee, it's started effecting my hip, as well as now effecting my right ankle. Getting in and out of the Z is getting somewhat painful, especially when climbing out of the car.

That's another great idea which I actually thought about late last night while laying in bed. Instead of stripping the car down to stock, just keep it as is and hand over all of the stock parts with the car. Because we all know it would be next to impossible to sell the stock parts for anything worth the effort.

LMAO, I have 2 bad knees. The left one since 1993, ACL surgery to fix it. I have some torn meniscus in it now. My right knee I had a bucket tear on my meniscus and had it scoped in 2009. I had 60% of my meniscus removed and have more torn in it now. Sounds like you need to visit the Orthopedic Dr. to have your issue accessed. I may have to crawl to my Z but I won't be getting rid of it.

Good for you. You apparently have health insurance. Some of us don't.

Like Spooler. Both knees have bucket flap tears in the meniscus. Right hip replaced at the age of 47. Arthritic in the back. Been through 10 surgeries. Pins in my left foot. Can't pass through an airport without setting off the alarms. Thought my orthro doctor was my PCP for a while. I don't have too many days without pain. I try not let it slow me up.
