Z32 Great Resale Value

[Ill give u a head start]

Ive noticed the Z32 especially the TT model doesnt lose much value over the years. It seems like they are actually getting expensiver. If u were to buy a Z and keep it for a couple of years u should have no problem selling it for the same price u bought it for (not that i would ever sell mine.. lol i always told myself when the car's time is up i would bury it in my backyard ). This is just one of the many reasons i love the Z32.

Some of u know I have had Z32s before but didnt sell them i wrecked them both . one of them being my fault and the other not. But i do have to say the insurance company paid me out quite well. I got $11,000 for a totaled 91 300zx TT with 112k miles.

By the way just thinking theoritically if i were to keep this one z32 through out the rest of my life and just Rebuild it every time the motor or transmission etc "die out" and well obviously the electrical components will also need some form of attention when it gets that old. my question is would the electrical components be a pain in the ***?

They did depreciate at first (like most cars) and faster than other Japanese sports cars of the era (RX-7, Supra). But now that theyre mostly being bought by enthusiasts, the price has rebounding. And like most enthusiast driving markets, the Z usually sold for more than KBB and Edmunds prices. But now it seems their values are catching up to the actual transaction prices.

I had an S14, but now that I'm beginning to look for another one, the Z32 has drawn my interest. After all, it was the car that made me a Nissan fan in the first place...

Over the years, electrical connectors in the engine bay area get very brittle, and if you try and remove the connector, it will break. Thats really the only problem with the electrical components.

I agree. Prices for clean well kept TT's are climbing at a steady pace.

I disagree, the used market has a dwindling supply of clean lower milage z32's but the influx of lower newer used z33's is gonna continue to push the z32 resale down the line as all other generatiosn of z's before it, the most desirable collectible of the z's is still gonna be the 70 240Z, and it's rare to see the cleanest cars sell for more than 10, they only cost 3k new but taht same 3k would be worth more then 10k in todays dollars, bottom line, it's a toy not an investment, any money you put into it is most likely gone forever, some times you can buy cheap enough and sell high enough to come out money ahead but this is the exception not the rule, do it for the love not for the money

i dont think the Z33's have any effect on the value of a Z32. In my opinion i see the Z33 as a disappointment and no where near the type of vehicle a z32 is. The 300zx just seems like no matter how many next generations come after it that it will still be the the head of the Z franchise just because i dont think they can ever top it unless they used some aspects from that vehicle in their next line of Zs.Im not saying the Z is a money making machine i just think it is one of the very few unique cars that will keep its value.

the z lines hold their value better than other nissan models, as for the Z33 thing, drive one! the z33 in it's stock form is right on que with the z32 tt in areas of performance (give or take they are pretty darned equal), low mile good condition z32's are getting fewer and farther in between and will hold their values better than higher miles examples, there are more used z33's hitting the used market every day, ranging form 15k and up adn we're talking about sub 50k mile cars! the Z32 was more luxury oriented than any proir generation of Z, Z32 and Z33 owners tend to be younger and more focused on only their generation of Z, the advantage of having experienced the various models is you learn their strengths as well as their weaknesses, at the moment I own 5 Z's (one is a parts car) and I have owned every generation of Z excepting the Z33, I have driven all generations, and I must say if I had to have one car to do it all, I think I would have to take the Z33, it might be cheaper to make the Z32 faster but all the parts are10 years newer and the aftermarket is growing not shrinking, and if I had to build the fastest car on a budget it would be the S30, it's easier to go fast when you have 30% less lbs to lug around

when i got my Z32TT I was honestly disapointed with the performance, and the cost of repairs and maintenance is a real turn off, they are beautiful cars, I mich prefer the stock body over the "kits" so many people put on them, they are decent performers in stock form with good potential, but I was expecting more sports and less luxury, I with they offered a sports model witht he slicktp, TT all manual with less deadening, that would have been a sports car, think nissan version of the Ferrari F-40 (which would be my pick of the litter from Ferrari) maybe not near that scale but that concept

Yea i see what ur saying. I was debating between a Z32 and a Z33 for my first car. So i have drove the Z33. One of the reasons why i decided to go with the Z32 is becuz u pretty much see the Z33 every where. I like the idea of having a car that not too many people are familiar with. In stock form to me atleast the Z32 man handles the Z33 and is backed up by its specs. The Z33 doesnt look like a super car to me. Its kinda like the whole mustang thing. They get played out after a while in my opinion.

I was 18 when the z32 came out and I thought then just as I do today that the cars design was well beyond it's time. Sort of like the Hondas NXS or even that silver v12 BMW made in the late 80's to early 90's or even a 69 camaro or a delorean or a lambo countach....Some cars have that classic look that just can't be duplicated. As for me of all the Z's the z32 is by far the best overall package for unique styling, handling, stance, and just plain curb appeal. Classic just classic

I believe that eventually with the tuner generation you will start to see all the japanese creations that people love shoot up in value much like the way old muscle cars do to the baby boomers. When our generations get more money and start to retire the resell value on clean kept cars, or just nice Zs n such will climb.

Who knows, Barret Jackson may just auction of Z32s and Supras someday when the prices peak. The investment part of holding onto a Z isn't that great if you want to resell at a high price later. There are better ways to get 100k (assuming thats what you can get for it down the road in 50 years lol)
