The Infiniti has a lot of sentimental value to me, but I have yearned for a Z32 300ZX for a long time. I have kept my eyes on several Zs in the area, and although there is no definite plan to buy one soon I still have my game plan - Sell the Infiniti and use that money + my own to buy a N/A Z32 for ~4000.

Although I prefer the Twin Turbo, I feel like I want to slowly "move up the ranks" by not jumping into a car that's beyond my driving capabilities even though I'm a fair driver . The N/A is more reliable and somewhat easier to work on. I'm in college, so I don't have the funds to maintain a Twin Turbo anyway. Don't flame me, I know what car I'm getting into I've literally conducted research about this car for a year

My question to you forum members is what do you reckon I could get from the Infiniti. As always, be honest and don't throw low numbers that'll blow my confidence lol

KBB says 1750 in fair condition, I say 2000 with the mods, and 2500 AT MOST to a local who knows nothing about cars. Of course I'd make the car drivable before I sell it


I feel like I've highlighted the cons more than the pros of the car, and the overall car itself. Despite those cons, the car is definitely reliable and is fun to drive on backroads

Here are some pics:






















Hehe my favorite, oh my adolescent days...

 

I want your hood, driver fender, front spoiler, is your front driver seat in good condition? How much??? where you located?

 

lol...am not parting out. Sorry, and I don't have a front spoiler?

 

Between $2000-2500 depending on if you fix a few little things and clean it up nice, thing is everyone's going to run away from the high mileage but if you wait long enough someone will definitely pay $2000, I bought my 4thgen max for $2000 and it had as many miles as yours.

 

Great! I was hoping someone would share the same opinion as me. I know I'll have to be patient, but I think the mods + stock look are what makes the car attractive. The people who run away are those that aren't familiar with maximas IMO

 

True its usually ppl who don't know much about car that just look at mileage. I was taught at a young age if its older then 8-10 years mileage isn't what you should be looking at and doesn't matter much at that point.

 

Well, first thing first: What part of Maryland are you? Baltimore may not pay you more than $1500 but if you come down to Virginia, easy $2000. $2200 with luck. Hell, Maximas command more of a premium in the DC area than I30s. I was going to get a Maxima but the I30 was cheaper. Not my fault. Just how the market is now.

 

Central MD. I'm an hour from Baltimore, DC, and VA so it can work out in favor for me

 

Getting sideways looked sick

 

idk, since its been ragged (assuming you did with that "sideways" pic) i'll give $1500 cash...

 

ha thanks

 

+1000 please
