life... it sucks. I got a notice that i am being taken to court for child support... ( even tho i am already giving money... ) and now i think i need a lawyer -_- ( still to be decided, in a month or so, yet i wanna be prepared. )

so i think the z will have to go.

as some of you may know, mine is not the prettiest, and, probably for you guys is a parts car, and i was wondering how much would be a fair price for my z. I was thinking around the 1300-1100 bucks?

it has 180xxx miles on it.
i am the 3 owner ( carfax confirmed)
also the carfax did not show any accidents, however, i am 100% sure it did have a fender bender on the driver side front panel and they did a bad job repairing it, you can just tell )
all 6 cilinders are firing
either needs a cts or o2 sensors.
and a new driveshaft
and leaky rear main seal.
interior wise is ok, seats have no tears that i can see, dash is clean. there is some things wrong with it like for example steering wheel is sun damaged( has a cover ) and there is a piece of plastic missing from the left control pod ( seen in the picture ), oh and the driver door panel... no idea what the heck they wanted to do with it, but, it needs the panel... ( i think they tried to fix the window roller and they failed miserably... )
needs new bushings on the front.
oh and maybe the 60k service. ( i was going to buy the parts for the 60k and the rear main seal and the cts the same day i got the damn call... )

it has been reliable to me, except for the alternator that went bad on me, but other than that, it has taken me from point a to point b no questions asked, but im sure is no more than a parts car for many.


that's all i can think of, so would be around 1100 bucks too much to ask?

this freaking sucks, this was going to be the summer for me to have my dream z built... but NOPE! every little counts towards the lawyer, and my z will just have to go. so i wanna know what would be a reasonable price to ask for it as it sits.

First off, damn man that sucks horribly. Child support is a b**** and a half.

As for prices, I'm not sure about how much they go for near you, but if it was me (and I live in NJ), I would try putting it up for $2k or best offer and see what happens. I paid $1600 for mine and it had a solid misfire (but 98k miles).

tell me about it... and since one is not the main guardian, they, for some reason, always wanna make you look like the worst father in the world because you are not with the mom...


and life works on such funny ways, i was literally about to go to the bank to deposit the money for parts, and as i am stepping into the car to go, i get the call " yeah... i want more money... :wtf2: "

Nah man, if she's road-worthy she's more than a parts car and your pics don't look THAT bad.
I agree to go for 2 grand and see where things go, clean it up nice and do any repairs you can reasonably do!

Sad to hear about your situation. Try to get 2k for it, like the others said, and I'm sure you can get another Z if you want one.

so 2 k obo, well that's best of what i expected. and,i mean eventually... yeah i probably will go for another z, but i wouldn't see that happening for another year or so, this whole fiasco is gonna suck all of my money :/ heck, after everything passes, i might just wait and save 10k or something like that to get a z that is low mileage and that needs nothing and is ready for me to just drive, and just get a cheap daily to roam around in the mean time.
