AndysPlit Posted October 26, 2007 Share #1 Posted October 26, 2007 Out here in Los Angeles is quite possibly another dreamer? http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/car/459908615.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Carter Posted October 26, 2007 Share #2 Posted October 26, 2007 Hmm, "the best car Datsun ever made". I am not so sure a 260Z falls into that catagory. Obviously the seller likes the car, and it is in nice shape. Is it worth $20K? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e_racer1999 Posted October 26, 2007 Share #3 Posted October 26, 2007 i seriously doubt that it is the best car datsun ever made, considering that "datsun" never made any cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndysPlit Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted October 26, 2007 Yeah, it's a Z, but please. For a 260Z in that shape.....maybe 5K - 10K at the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beandip Posted October 26, 2007 Share #7 Posted October 26, 2007 that just shows that you can put anything on EBay and ask way more than it is worth in hopes that some doofus will come along that hasn't a clue. I haven't yet heard of anyone pleased with a Z that they bought on EBay. Everyone has been vary disappointed and that they were told that the condition or originality wasn't as advertised.

bandoni Posted October 26, 2007 Share #8 Posted October 26, 2007 the nsx he has parked next to the z might be worth 20k, the 260z not so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240ZX Posted October 26, 2007 Share #9 Posted October 26, 2007 Looks to me as though the seller has recently thrown on a fresh coat of paint. Beyond that it looks to be worth.....maybe $5K to $7K at best! From the appearence of the engine bay, I'm guessing it's a good indication of the general condition of the Z.......!!?Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary:cross-eyeActually, I bought my '73 on eBay a couple of years ago, and was not dissappointed. Car was as adverstised, got almost 100 detailed photos from the seller as well as good documentation before purchase so I could check anything I was concerned about. So there is at least one satisfied Z buyer from eBay :classic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EScanlon Posted October 30, 2007 Share #12 Posted October 30, 2007 You guys have it ALL wrong!I HOPE, I PRAY, I WISH this guy will get the $20k he's asking.Heck, if he were to get it FAST it would be beneficial to us all.All this discussion as to how much better yours or mine or anyone else's is than the one in the auction is totally ... STUPID ... and no apologies if it seems offensive. Your car isn't for sale at this point, but if this sale DOES go through, you'll be better off for it. Especially if your car IS beter than this one.Think about it. If this car DOES sell for the $20k, that gives us all a benchmark to use with our insurance companies, and if the situation ever arises, a benchmark to use in pricing our own cars. And let's not forget possibly using a totally paid for vehicle as collateral for a signature loan.Denigrating this car because YOU wouldn't pay that much is short-speak for saying your car isn't worth that much either. Especially if you insist that your car is "better".Basic tenet of supply economics, LOW supply leads to HIGHER prices. If anything, the sudden glut of people "finding" and selling Z's that were stashed in barns, old fields, and in general disrepair has hurt the value of the Z.How? By simply increasing the supply of low end vehicles. Doesn't matter much in the top end of the market where the vehicles are recognized as being top dollar, except for the loss of replacement parts that go to refurbish those low end vehicles, since their value isn't measured by e-Bay auctions. It matters in that there are vehicles at lower prices available...period.If this car does sell for the $20k he's asking, then ALL of us can evaluate our cars. How much only matters at the time of sale.2¢E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
