So here's the story of my life...
 

I built a bad @$$ twin turbo 370z, and a couple of days ago my fiance tells me that I'm a father... . Im happy about that, but I think the car is gonna have to go now that I'm going to need a 5 passenger vehicle. This sucks! lol

I love the car and I'd hate to see it go....

I would drive an Aveo (which could fit 5) as a DD before I got rid of my NA Z let alone a TT Z. Good Luck man. As a matter of fact I drive a Versa as a DD LOL.

lol..... Great way to start a new year!!! what would a TT fully modified sell for?

Get an EVO10 MR!
I'm thinking of switching to the evo or waiting for M3 or GTR

Well your forum name will definitely fit, now that you are going to have to get rid of your TT Z for a Honda Fit...

I know the feeling. Back in '87 when I was driving an '84 Z31, the wife announces that we are expecting. Turns out it was twins. Needless to say, the Z went down the road in favor of a more family friendly ride. Life happens. Enjoy the ride.

I feel like the guy in the Nissan commercial! lol mannnnnn dejavu

wow. congratulations and codolences :) :(

Doesn't she have a car? What does she drive and would that work.

I would buy a small car for kids and keep your Z for yourself.
Treat yourself!

So you can afford a brand new car, then TTs on top of it, but not a cheap DD to lug the kids around? :confused:

Having a Baby isn't the end of the World! Keep the car, and like it was suggested find a economic 4 door dd and thats that!!

yeah you dont want a nice car for baby's.. they will puke.. it will smell funky..

get some old cheap beater.

Yea but shes into having a SAFE car/suv... I don't want to get something cheap. If I sell the Z, I can get a new infiniti FX35 or something like that...

I just don't know what a TT 370z would retail for with all the mods I've done already

looking at some of the past ones that sold. 35k-40k.

a huge hit man.

You can get really safe used cars for DD.

Just stretch it out into a TT Maxima!

If you going to get rid of the Z I would buy an evo so you can still go fast! Or like the others said already, buy a used family car. There a affordable Odysseys out there. That's what I have as a family car. We have 4 kids lol!

2010 40th anniv 6700 miles GTM stg 1... plus all the mods I've done, I think I can get at least 45K ?

you sure can try. but even a nismo with alot of mods and gtm TT was I think 40 or under. Not trying to disuage you from trying, just I think thats the numbers i recall.

You can try to sell it for what you want, and then lets say the only offer is about 5-6k then instead of taking the hit why not just spend 5-6k on another car!

Also if you dont want a super sporty big family car (EVo, STI) but still want something large, comfy with gobs of power.. G8 GT...

Keep the car. Get another job. LOL.

That's messed up lol:eek:

lol thats messed up

It sucks to say but cars are never an investment. Modifications never add value to a car. That's why you see people parting out before selling. You can try to sell it for the price you ask and might get lucky that someone will buy it. It never hurts to try.

true, modifications don't really add much value to a car, but a twin turbo kit isn't just some body kit or a set of springs. the TT kit should add at least 5k to what someone would be willing to pay for the car.

btw, if you had the extra money around to TT your car, don't you have some extra cash to buy a decent truck or crossover? you could get a subaru forester or some kind of wagon thing for like less than 10k.

It all depends on the consumer who's looking to buy. I think I am speaking from the majority that I would rather buy a virgin car than a modified one. I would even stay away from an aftermarket turbocharged car since it never came with one in the first place. Having good history of who did the work and condition of the car would be fine, I guess.

Provided you can find someone who wants those parts on the car. Especially on a newer car like the Z, it's hard.

Car is going for sale by Monday night. Taking pics tomorrow... I know this is not the for sale section, but to give you guys a preview...

here's the description

The car makes 456 whp and 332 tq at 8 psi - 93octane on a MUSTANG DYNO. There are 0 issues with the car. It rides stock until you open her up. The car has never seen a track. It's always been garage kept. There are no blemishes on the exterior/interior.

I have receipts for everything that was done to the car.

Please no low ballers -

PRICE IS $45,000

Willing to ship at buyer's expense.

i think thats fair. GLWS

You will never your money back on modifications, unlesss you find the right person.

Get a four door DD and keep to 370Z because you are going to lose a lot of money!

IMO I would be getting a beater!

GLWS though.........

sounds like you put a lot of time and i know money in your z.

hope you get what you won't for it...

Man, sorry you're looking to sell so soon. Like just about everyone else has stated, just get a nice dd, you can find a safe one if that's the issue and keep the TT.

DD that meet your requirments that come to mind: Xterra, altima, 4door civic, corolla, honda fit, honda element, murano, accord...

there's plenty of options in the used market.

Oh, and Frost---:tup:, that was some funny sh!t man.

why pay when you could just push her down the stairs tho??? :ughdance:

I got a wire coat hanger in my trunk if you're interested. I've got some experience with it

Walked the same road nine years ago when i had my 300zx. I now have 4 boys and the people mover is a Chrysler town and country.GO get a 4 or 5 year old one for 10-12K. And stay happy!

Good luck with the sale, I don't think you'll be able to get that much for it but hopefully you will.

I don't think that too many people have $40 to $45K laying around.

In addition the buyer is probably going to be finance the car, the Bank or FCU is going to go with the BB price, unless the buyer has a hefty down payment against the loan.
