last zed that sold for at least $15,000 ??????

Had nothing to do with luck ,it was and still is worth every cent.

 

I never said it wasnt a very good example,but in todays market value,you got lucky and you know it
It would be hard to get 16k for it in recession time im afraid,i hope im wrong,but i dont think i am
Its a buyers market now,not a sellers

 

Afraid I agree with Si. It's a beautiful Z, one of the best I have ever seen (and had the pleasure of driving), but unfortunately finding a buyer is a bit difficult in this climate. I hope Erik just keeps it, going to try and talk him into it tomorrow

 

So who's got a nice 2+2 TT manual they'll sell me? I'll be really generous and offer $7000

 

yeah no doubt but in this climate your can buy a $600000 lambo for $300000.
Its a thing of value(sold to the right person) and will be worth a better price again .

 

this is what i mean, this sounds like one very very good example of a zed with built engine, turbos and many extras and yet you were able to get it for only less than 15k. that zed is prob worth easy over 20k but the markett is just so shit.

i am in the process of advertising it still accumilating the list of things the car has....

bullshit that was all luck. that zed is worth it, but will it sell for the price no. but as i said in the first post there is some exceptions for example that zed. but again ed is trying to sell it now and unfortunatly he aint going to get anywhere near what he wants. i wonder if he will even get 15k now. this is the market.

I REST MY CASE.

 

That's where im crying right now. Some AWESOME cars at very very low prices and Im NOT in a possition to buy one.

Some almost guarnteed "investments" available if you've got the money and the guts.

I was looking at a Rossa last week
1986
2 owners
1st owner = Eric Clapton
2nd owner = Owner of an Exotic coach works (fancy panel beaters)
15,000 miles on the clock.
PRISTINE car inside and out.
~$82K + Shipping & import (not much on a fre 1989) + taxes

If I still had my old job, I'd be talking to the bank by now.

SUCKS!

I even found somewhere that would probably store it for me, for free... be secure, be available for people to view, and I'll still have access to it

Ah well... when the time is right.

I guess the point to my tangent is this... when the RIGHT car comes along....so long as it IS the "right car", people WILL pay more than market value if they know what's good for them.

but the onus is also on the seller to not drop thier price.

market value is just that. Dont sell cheep, and the market value isn't cheep.

it only BECOMES cheep when owners start off loading.

Soon only the good Zeds will be left standing.

...but what's also forced the price down is buyer caution. People selling cars at a marked up price, making out all is well and the car is worth it does not help.

A car can have all the shiney mods under the sun and make a very nice shopping list, but if they're not done right, the car isn't worth a single cent over market value.

 

i belive mines awesome So does anyone whos been in it But i also hear the driver is a real tosser on some forum! haha

 

Eric Clapton's Ferrari! Awesome! If you ever get a rossa I'm flying over for a ride in it!

 

regardless of what you think, you aint going to get anywhere near what you want. its just how the market is shaping up atm and from now on i guess....

 

awesome people dont use a dyno sheet in their avatar :bash::bash:

 

for sure.

Mate im GUTTED about that Fezza. It's the PERFECT collectors Rossa
I'm not even going to post a link for fear someone else will bag it lol.

then again... why did it end up the property of a coach works owner.....

wait a second... im gonna go google for "clapton ferrari crash" lol

EDIT: Na can't find any news of it ever being crashed.

here's the Fezza
http://pistonheads.com/sales/1115200.htm

Not the FS ad I found. I found it while tralling www.autotrader.co.uk ...again lol

DAMN someone lend me $82K interest free

 

go see my old man,he has quite a few as you know ,a trip to qld and take your pick (tip,take the 06 black one )

 

Find a way, that's mint. Sell yourself on the street corner, so worth it

 

Here is one reason why Z32 prices will only get

cheaper for a while yet. A lot of people will look at a late model 350Z that they can pick up for less than $25k like the one below. Most of us know better, but many will opt for the newer zed alternative. Umm ... would make a nice daily driver me thinks.

Kilometres: 119,000
Colour: Lemans Sunset
Transmission: 6 speed Manual
Body: 2 door 2 seat COUPE

 

Mate I should NOT have looked it up again.

Im torturing myself lol.

After laying eyes on that example, would I ever be happy with a lesser one?

This reminds me of the first Zed i ever looked at.

2 seater manual TT dark blue in WA.

Was MINT!

I walked away

 

actually... i have some good friends in Queensland. Right in the top end though..... but my point is... they need visiting

Also have a guy on the Fezza forum in QLD offered me a test drive in his 348

FERRARI HOLIDAY lol

..now lets get back on topic.

Zed's are now worthless. But P platers will soon crash them all, leaving the eliete few that remain in tact because they all have blown engins and never drive anywhere. I predict LnP's will be the last Zed standing
