I’m looking for input on how to price my 300ZX.
It’s a 1995 RED 2by2 twin turbo tbar automatic leather seats about 42,000 miles. Figuring out a price is far out of my wheel house. I thought a Nissan forum would be a great place to start and be very helpful. Any input will be greatly appreciated!

Location will also matter based on condition since rust free cars in the rust belt tend to be a bit higher valued. Also if you want something for comparison check BringATrailer

Yep, but typically people don't like to hear what I have to say... ;)

I'm pretty spot-on with classic Datsun and Nissan valuation, but the best rule of thumb is this: It's worth exactly what someone just paid you for it. Not what they offer, not what you're asking. What they paid. Problem is, we don't know that until the deal is done.

So, if you want top-dollar, list it in an auction (whether it be Ebay or BaT). Start it at a reasonable number $5k. If you're confident in your car, and your photos, then it'll bring market value.

Quick and dirty: The auto trans hurts it, the 2+2 configuration hurts it. Mileage and originality helps the value a lot.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this: If it were in my collection and I were selling, I'd list it on BaT.

Here's a helpful tutorial - Your results are DIRECTLY related to how serious you are about listing it properly. You want all the money, you do everything listed in this article:
http://datsunforum.com/selling-on-bring ... -tutorial/

You can peruse past sales (although most all of these are 5MT, 2+0 cars) to get some ideas. https://bringatrailer.com/nissan/300zx/

Good luck!

Quick and dirty: If it were a manual and you were willing to sit on it until the right buyer came along then I'd say you could ask as much as $15k, it would take you very likely 2 years to move it. As is with the auto I'd say you could get $5-9k fairly quickly. Beyond that I'd say hitman is spot on.

I concur with the $5k-9k number. I think with the miles and condition (if you have clean undercarriage and all maintenance records) you could expect the higher end of that.

It's not a five-figure car... yet.

I'd just like to point out that is a 2+0, not a 2+2.

Good catch. Seller, you have a 2-seater, not a 2+2.

Its a low mileage, original TT, in excellent condition in a highly desirable model year. People look long and hard for that combo. The only thing going against you is the automatic. I've been out of the game for a few years but I wouldn't list it any shorter than 17-18k.

2 years ago I sold my 1990 TT with 75k in excellent condition (although 5sp) for 16k in about 30 minutes on ebay.
