Comments: As the title says - GENUINE Expressions Of Interest....
Absolute showroom condition 1998 built model, Aust complianced, with only 20,000kms on the clock. I also had this verified by Tom (Perth Z Performance) who ran it on the Dyno, which produced a perfect stock result.
It drives like it's just rolled off the factory floor....and if that doesn't grab you, the 'new car smell' that it still has surely will!!

The only modifications it's had is a FMIC and replacement of the original Japanese radio with a Sony head unit and upgraded the door speakers to Yellow-cones. (pics below are pre-mods)

It's WA licensed, however it has just expired. For the potential buyer, I will personally take it over the pits and renew the registration on receipt of your deposit.

 

what ballpark $ are you hoping for?

 

It's pretty difficult to estimate the value of such a unique car....hence the EOI.

To get the ball rolling, I would have thought somewhere around the 25k mark would be a reasonable starting point to negotiate from?!?

 

sounds like a fair price damn that thing is soooo new

 

Cooked? ......lol. It's just a white powder substance, not sure what causes it but even the hoses on my 06 STi are the same. Must be something in the compounds of OEM rubber hoses!

 

its just oxodizing.. prolly from sitting undriven for long periods of time and in a hot environment..

 

id PAY THAT!

Thats simply the best! a zed thats only 10 years old oh my you could actually preserve it and take it out to dinner some times.. mostly put it in cotton wool! :drool: Umm can some one check if thats a 1998 steering wheel?

I want it... SOLD.. (i wish)

 

Why is it being sold?
Why was the rego allowed to lapse?
When did you import it?
What suburb are you in?
This must be a '97 build (???)

I would LOVE to own that!!! (Take note of my sig )

 

i was under the impression you couldn?t bring in any after 1997 unless maybe private import

but yea cool car, just have to convice the misses

 

Cruise control still an option on the 98 2+2 TT?
1990 type (3 spoke) steering wheel?
Fabric (powered) seats and not leather?
Well the placement of the seatbelts on the B Pillar is consistant with later model Z's.
Why no pics of the dooor jam label identifying year, colour etc?
And the front wheels are on backwards.

 

This was discussed in a previous thread http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/showthread.php?t=265253

 

was under the impression later model tt's didnt come with the bosot gauge also

 

use nissan fast or..

import dating site http://www.300zx.org.uk/import_dating.htm

might tell you what year it is..

 

Starting at what year?

 

... perhaps provision of an engine number would allow for a "nissan fast" confirmation of year of production .... ???

.. the steering wheel is certainly not an "air bag" wheel as per my 1993 model ....

 

Your questions answered

Replies to your queries above....

 

dont quote me but i think 96+

 

this is such a clean car, i actually remember you buying it on this forum a few years back....however i thought it used to have more kays than that, 20,000km is like only 2k a year

GL with the sale

 

No Dave!

Don't sell her Dave!

Long time no see dude...howz things?

Sorry that you've decided to sell her.

For any potential buyers, I've seen the car in the flesh and can vouch for how tidy it is. The interior is the new type velour and in awesome condition as is the exterior and engine bay. Very tidy car and in original condition. Also a lot more rare than other Zeds given the production year.

Howz Clara going mate? Has she still got her beast?

Good luck with the sale...

Cheers
Rob.

 

From all accounts, it sounds like a great car.

I don't think I will realistically be in the market for another 6 months though - then my eldest boy will have finished year 12, and then that's another private education (hopefully) finished (one to go).

If you are still around, I may be able to get $18K together for this quality car, but >20 is too high.

Don't take it the wrong way, I am not saying it isn't a nice looking car - I am saying that a 12 year old car is not worth (to me) over $20K.
