I need some feedback. I currently am the second owner of a 1995 300 ZX twin turbo, convertible, 29000 miles. Automatic. Fully loaded (for the time). Original sticker was about $42,000. It is in excellent condition. All original outside of new tires. I know I have never had this car out in the rain and am pretty sure the original owner had not either. I have had the car for about 8 years now and have only put about 7000 miles on the car. I am thinking about putting it up for sale. I do not know where to start at with the price/value and where to advertise it as a car for sale. I know I could do it locally on the web but thought I might reach out and get some advice. Any advice I could get back I would appreciate it. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure the convertible never came in TT so this is either an aftermarket swap or a specialty dealer/stillen thing. If its aftermarket sadly this will hurt the value, if it is a 1 of XX or 1 of 1 this will help the value immensely however at the end of the day its whatever someone would be willing to pay because the Z32 isn't a very sought after collector's car (not like Supras and FD3s). Post up some pictures and let us have a look.

Definitely no TT convertibles according to production numbers, but as mentioned it's possible a dealer had one made although I really doubt it personally- it would have registered somewhere.
Most likely it's a owner swap but (hopefully) legitimate swap from a reputable source, if so it should probably go for a little more than a normal verty, but I agree only to someone looking for such a thing.

I made a mistake in my post. It is not a twin turbo. engine has on it V6, 3000 Twin Cam 24 valve. I have never really looked into the car....that's why I decided to get some info about it. CRL Z32jauchky is on model tag. Pics to come next week. Live in Ohio. Still has cover on it in the garage. Thx for the input.

Based upon your recent post regarding no TT motor, this is actually probably a good thing especially given the low miles and no mods, and your claim of excellent condition.
However, one thing that you will need to consider is that our cars demand 120K service to ensure the timing belt is in good condition as well as the cooling system so you may need to do that even though the mileage is low- time will and does weaken the tbelt so be prepared to hear about and deal with that either by doing it or lowering your price accordingly.
Also, having a '95 model helps your car value because of some upgrades Nissan did to the Z32 up to '94, and before OBD2 and the unfortunate removal of the VTC system in '96+.
In full proper working order and maintenance levels you should probably easily be able to get in the $7-8K range, maybe closer to $9K depending upon your car's color combo and local demand, although the AT will drop value and interest somewhat most likely, and most potential buyers may be looking for a lower price and not willing to pay up for low miles and OEM condition- so you may need to stand your ground and wait a bit for the right buyer.
Being clear on what you have and having many/all docs and receipts for the car including the extras will help you out as well, plus good pictures of all angles of the car, interior, and a shot of the clean engine bay help out as well.
Looking forward to your pics!
