For that price they must really think the mods add 2x their value to the car.

[Guappone240]

It' the first aid kit that really drives up the price.

[audtatious]

You mean the enclosed maxi-pad? Maybe they swapped it with a super-absorbent one....

[zozoka1212]

LOL good luck to them to sell it.

This happens to be where I purchased mine. Remember that this is the auction 'purchase it now price'.

I am curious about the wheels more than anything, like the concept of the brakes looking like they are part of the wheel. I would like to see the list. I come up with somewhere around 8-10 k. I should go up and take a look at this.

I'd take the rims for sure!

Not a huge fan of body kits. They might look great when they are first installed, but seem to get distorted looking as they age. Like the hood I put on my Camaro has shrunk so much I can stick my finger between it and the fender.

Yes, but why ask 20k over the base car? It's a journey package with nav which would list in the 39k range at the most. For 59k you could have all that gear + a TT setup and still have plenty of money left over.

I was looking for FI...guy is on crack to sell at that price!

[suby01]

LOL 60k for a G with body kit and rims.

I took the time to build it.

MSRP for the car alone with the Nav and Premium Packages is $45k. Those stupid wheels retail for over $1300 a piece. The duraflex body kit is another grand plus $500 or so in paint. Stillen intake is $500. Eibachs and shocks are probably another $750-$1000.

The price is just about dead on if you were to buy it all retail.

Sad. Very sad.

[awdjdmtalon]

FAIL! Ugly body kit, Ugly wheels. And it is an Autotragic to boot.

Yeah.....The new automagic owners are really upset that their cars are faster than the 6mt's now

I'm more concerned about drivetrain loss and gear control than a few tenths of a second.

[audtatious]

After owning numerous manuals I simply don't see a reason to purchase a 6mt anymore....

[joe603]

My next car will be AUTO...I'm sick of my 6MT and the clutch rattle.

[370Z/28]

Plus,there has to be some kind of credit for the stock rims/tires that were on the vehicle. I mean....that would be included in the price of the car.

Auto/manual....it is all owner's choice. If I drove cool curvy hilly roads everyday, I wouldn't even think of getting an auto. BUT! I drive 40 minutes, one way, from one traffice light to the other. I got sick of all that shifting.

[audtatious]

Manual mode does pretty good using either the stick or paddle shifters....

[370Z/28]

It is kind of fun, 'cept you have to turn your radio down so you can hear your engine.

I like some body kits but they are rarely engineered in the same way as the factory panels. Often times there can be issues with cracking, etc. that most likely occurred with the factory panels during early design phases that were detected and then engineered out sometimes years in advance of the actual auto being released for sale. Most of the time you proably don't see this level with the body kits, especially when you consider they are usually created after the car has been released and no real time has take place for either the issues to really show up nor for the engineer fixes to take place.

Depends on how you drive those curvy roads. The auto wil certainly allow you to select and stay in any gear. To me the issue would be if one was trying to break traction for various reason.

While the paddle shifters are cool I for the most part use them only in 'D' mode. To me in 'DS' mode it is easier to just use the center shifter for gear selection. However in 'D' mode you can use the paddles to slow down without brakes (useful if someone is following you that you do not want to warn). There are some other situations that I find them useful for in 'D' mode.

Well first off I haven't really went to see if what we see in the pictures is all there is to the mods.

But in any case you ask more than what you may be willing to take. For online auctions it happens all the time for everything from knives, guns, boats, and cars. As others have posted the list price MSRP may actually be higher than the 39 you mentioned (haven't checked this yet).

If someone really likes what they see and wants it now, then they may well be able and willing to part with a premium to ensure they get it. Others will make lesser offers.

I have also won many auctions (not for cars) after actually losing them. Many dealers have contacted me after an auction and offered me items for at the price point of my last offer.

So lets say that as one poster mentioned that they are actually within about 3-4 k of the correct price. I make an offer of 56 k but someone else comes up with the full 59 plus. The car goes automatically to the one with the higher offer but the dealer may look at the fact they are making 5 k if they were to sell it for 56. Nothing stops them from building another one. They contact all others above whatever then deem is worthwhile and offer them a like car for less. At this time you would have the option of different wheels, etc. The dealer on the other hand has formed a good list of those who have an interest in purchasing a similar car.

[SVTCOBRA]

Don't like the body kit....

And some Nico members are getting OLD!!!!! (6MT to AT talk!!!)

I still remember the day when I said 'why would ANYBODY want to have a freaking 6 cylinder!!! (driving a 69 Mach 1 with 351W & 3MT at the time)And, why would ANYBODY buy a sports car with an automatic!!!! After 30 some years of changing gears......

[370Z/28]

I'm really glad that I reached an age where I'm not such a carist (automotive racism). There was a point in my life when I wouldn't have driven ANYTHING but GM muscle. I went with my first 4cyl Japanese car in '78 when I bought my Challenger (made by Mitsubishi). That is when performance in American cars died. Never really thought it would come back. I'm glad that I have learned how to appreciate all types of cars. My only 3 requirements in a vehicle are (in order) Looks...performance...stereo. I have found all those in my G with a little luxury to boot!

Like I have said before, I never really looked at a G until I saw that one that day at Lenny's Sub Shop. It was love at first sight. It is going to take one heck of a car to get me to trade this one in too.
