A very clean 260z for sale. What do you think?

[CW240Z]

I came across this 260z while I was skimming through the Craigslist's ads today. It looks great, and I love the JDM tail lights on it. Unfortunately there isn't any information on the car online. $ 14, 988 price tag

Nice pictures presentation, look at it in person and see if the pics correspond to condition, the seller is a new car dealer , so room for negotiation is there, good luck

The car looks great to me. Probably worth the $15K from the pics.

If the car checks out in person - I wouldn't take less than $14,500.00 - might be a consignment by a customer. I don't think you'll find too many new car dealers that are dull enough to take a lowball offer.

Anyone in the area that can go check it out? See if it starts and runs out as it should. Looking at the details shown - someone seems to have done a first class job..

But you never know...

Yeah beautiful resto. I am not keen on the orange bumpers and orange interior "additions" but all of this can be changed back easily.

The plastic door handle inserts are not there and the chrome finishers on the door pulls are black so the resto guys missed a few minor items.

[Carl Beck]

Agreed -there are a few things I'd personally change - but I'd just keep it a nice Street Mod. At least the 260's had decent A/C..finally - so it would make a better driver in Texas etc. A lot of work seems to have gone into that Z - $15K would be far less than the cost to duplicate it.

FWIW,

I agree with Carl... Besides, we need to put the myth that 'cash' means anything to a dealership. The guy who 'sets up your financing' makes a very good living by finding out what interest rate you 'could' get and then giving you something higher. They get you to go for that by 'throwing in' the extended warranty or in the old days mudflaps, undercoating, rustproofing.

I went to a dealership to buy a Boxster and found the one I wanted. My bank told me to 'write a check' and we will sort it out in the morning. The dealership guy who 'sets up your financing' tried desperately to get me to take their financing. Later that month I was at the Home and Garden show and there was a builder there with sample drawings of custom homes he had done. Sure enough, there was a blueprint there for the guy who 'sets up your financing'. It was a 7 figure home...

Nice looking car. There are a few things I don't care for, but it appears to be well done. Looks like a $15k car to me.

[madkaw]

Hell, I know you can't get out of a car what you have in, but I would think 15K would be very reasonable for that car. If there is nothing lurking underneath and it ran good, I would jump on it if I was in the market.

There's 20k in that car-easily.

[72 OJ]

Yes, I also agree that it looks very nice and the work done also looks 1st rate, yes some things were made to personal taste but can be reverse, what I am surprise, is to see the willingness of paying the asking price from a NEW CAR DEALERSHIP( Used Car Dpt)..................... FWIW
