loudoun Posted January 6, 2017 Share #1 Posted January 6, 2017 I have a local guy who is looking for a 240Z hood. I have several that are used and will need paint, but not rusted or bent. What is a fair price? I have no idea what the hoods are going for these days. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweatybetty Posted January 7, 2017 Share #3 Posted January 7, 2017 i would think $200-250 would be a fair price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conedodger Posted January 7, 2017 Share #4 Posted January 7, 2017 I bought one new from Nissan less than ten years ago for less than $200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcb280z Posted January 7, 2017 Share #5 Posted January 7, 2017 Shipping will be the deal breaker probably. IIRC its around $100 to ship. So that would make it pricey IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted January 7, 2017 Share #6 Posted January 7, 2017 These are the only two used hoods I found on ebay One is $400 ($240+160) shipped one is $560 ($400 + 160) shipped. I would think $200-250 is a very fair price for a clean non rusty hood. I know where a half dozen salvage cars are near me but I doubt there are any serviceable hoods. They are just not that easy to find without rust along the front lip. I have an aftermarket one I bought years ago but it doesn't fit as well as the original... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-240Z-260Z-Hood-70-74-/152366280842?hash=item2379bcf08a:g:GcEAAOSwux5YXDjQ&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-240z-non-vented-hood-/252712750851?hash=item3ad6da8f03:g:UdoAAOSwUKxYb9nl&vxp=mtr There is just one in the sold listings $300 BIN w/ $40 for shipping which is impossibly cheap!

rcb280z Posted January 7, 2017 Share #7 Posted January 7, 2017 Yeah no matter what it's hard to find a descent hood anymore. And at a "respectable" price. I procrastinated and missed out at buying a new one from BD when they had them. I have a used one now that I'm working on (280) and its a nightmare. loudoun, there are a couple out here on craigslist in La Puente CA.https://images.craigslist.org/00707_4mztF5e5TdN_600x450.jpg Not sure how desperate you are but maybe the price will be right. Couldn't hurt to call, I guess. The white one looks pretty good with minimal surface rust. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loudoun Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share #8 Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) Thanks to all for your responses. Thankfully, I am not trying to buy a hood as I have a few stashed away. I was trying to figure out a fair price for a local buyer. However, I think the deal is a no go because the buyer wanted a perfect hood for far less than even what conedodger paid 10 years ago.

rcb280z Posted January 9, 2017 Share #9 Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) oh yeah, duh . Completely forgot that's where you were going with this. I had a brain fart I guess. Was thinking back at the problems I had trying to locate a descent one at a descent price. Prices were all over the board.

It boggles my mind what people think used parts are worth. I get lowballers all the time. I wouldn't unbolt it for what some people offer... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I have a Series 1 car I will probably be parting in the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
