Sold for $19k - a great buy!

[Arne]

I know this car was briefly discussed in a different thread, but I thought it deserved one of its own. Sold for $19,000, and worth every penny, IMO.

Low miles and all original, offered by a seller who knows 240Zs. How could you go wrong?

I wonder if the buyer is anyone we know?

I agree with you, Arne -the buyer got a great deal on this car.

[Sailor Bob]

Very nice looking Z.

[DougN]

Yes, someone got a great deal on that Z, I didn't think he would let it go for less than $25K!

I've seen that car worth every dollar.

been watching that one....worth every cent.

Sales like that raise the perceived value of all our Zs - even if our cars don't exactly match the quality of the one sold. Now, I don't feel quite as bad about all the money I'm pouring into refreshing mine.

Actually, I suspect that if that car had been almost any other color combo, it would have sold for significantly more. I think white/red probably held the bidding down. First-time 240Z buyers haven't yet learned that you want the best you can find, regardless of color.

Nice car...good price.

Not sure I agree Arne...the red interior is pretty rare and this one was in good shape (even rarer). In an auction, find two people look for the same, relatively rare item/feature, and the price only goes up.

Guess we'd have to talk to the high bidders (#1 & 2) and find out how desirable the interior was to them...

[Arne]

If the potential buyers are first time Z people, they may not realize that red is rare - just different. Same car with a black interior, may have drawn more bids from more people.

Or not, just a guess on my part.

[bigoak]

Me too...but I kind of think the red is neat...

i would have been one of those 'more people'.
